What is the surface area of the triangular prism? A triangular prism. The rectangular sides are 24 feet by 40 feet, 40 feet by 15 feet, and 40 feet by 15 feet. The triangular sides have a base of 24 feet and height of 9 feet. 2,001 square feet 2,376 square feet 2,592 square feet 4,320 square feet

Surface area of triangular prism is:

Surface area = 2376ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangular prism is the one which has 3 rectangular sides and 2 triangular sides. To find the surface area of a triangular prism, we have to find the surface area of 3 rectangular side and 2 triangular sides and add them up

Surface Area (rectangle) = Length · Width

Surface Area (triangle) = (1/2)(Base)(Height)

Rectangular side 1:

Length = 40 ft

Width = 24 ft

Surface Area = 40 · 24

Surface Area = 960ft

Rectangular side 2:

Length = 40 ft

Width = 15 ft

Surface Area = 40 · 15

Surface Area = 600ft

Rectangular side 3:

Length = 40 ft

Width = 15 ft

Surface Area = 40 · 15

Surface Area = 600ft

Triangular side 1:

Base = 24 ft

height = 9 ft

Surface Area = (1/2)(24)(9)

Surface Area = 108ft

Triangular side 2:

Base = 24 ft

height = 9 ft

Surface Area = (1/2)(24)(9)

Surface Area = 108ft

SURFACE AREA OF TRIANGULAR PRISM:

Add all surface areas found above

Surface area = 960 + 600 + 600 + 108 + 108

Surface area = 2376ft

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
