The base of the straight prism is a right-angled triangle with legs of 6 and 8 dm
The base of the straight prism is a right-angled triangle with legs of 6 and 8 dm, the diagonal of the larger side face is 10√2 dm. find the total surface area of the prism
Since the triangle ABC is rectangular, then by the Pythagorean theorem, we determine the length of the hypotenuse of the AC.
AC ^ 2 = AB ^ 2 + BC ^ 2 = 64 + 36 = 100.
AC = 10 cm.
Since the prism is straight, the lateral edge of AA1 is perpendicular to the base, then the triangle AA1C is rectangular, in which we determine the length of the leg AA1.
AA1 ^ 2 = A1C ^ 2 – AC ^ 2 = 200 – 100 = 100.
AA1 = 10 cm.
Let us determine the area of the lateral surface of the prism.
Sside = Ravs * AA1 = (6 + 8 + 10) * 10 = 240 cm2.
Determine the area of the base of the prism.
Sosn = AB * BC / 2 = 8 * 6/2 = 24 cm.
Then Sпов = 2 * Sсн + S side = 2 * 24 + 240 = 288 cm2.
Answer: The total surface area of the prism is 288 cm2.
