A prism and two nets are shown below: Prism 1 E 3 Net A Net Part A: Which is the correct net for the prism? Explain your answer. (2 points) Part B: Write the measurements of Sides AB. BC, and CD of the correct net. (4 points) Part C: What is the surface area of the prism? Show your work. (4 points)​

A) Net A (see explanation)

B) AB = 3 in. | BC = 5 in. | CD = 7.2 in.

C) SA = 98.4 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

Net A is the correct net for the prism. If you look at the way the folds are, the flaps on the top and bottom would fold up to make the side of the prism. On net B, the flaps wouldn’t fit the shape correctly.

Part B

AB = This is the height of the prism.

= 3 in.

BC = This is the slant on the front of the prism.

= 5 in.

CD = This is the length of the prism.

= 7.2 in.

Part C

* First we’ll solve for the two triangles. They are the same shape and size, so we just need to solve one then duplicate it.

One triangle:

A = 1/2bh

= 1/2 (4) (3)

= 6 in²

Back rectangle:

A = bh

= 7.2 (3)

= 21.6 in²

Front rectangle:

A = bh

= 7.2 (5)

= 36 in²

Bottom rectangle:

A = bh

= 7.2 (4)

= 28.8 in²

Total:

A = 6 + 6 + 21.6 + 36 + 28.8

= 98.4 in²

36
