Las bases de un prisma recto son dos triangulos rectangulos cuyos catetos miden 1.5 cm y 1.8 cm, respectivamente, el prisma tiene una altura de 4.5cm. calcula su area total y volumen

Respuesta :

Answer:

Part 1) The surface area is [tex]SA=35.1\ cm^{2}[/tex]

Part 2) The volume is equal to [tex]V=12.15\ cm^{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The question in English is

The bases of a right prism are two rectangle triangles whose legs measure 1.5 cm and 1.8 cm, respectively, the prism has a height of 4.5 cm. calculates its total surface area and volume

Part 1) Find the surface area

The surface area is equal to

[tex]SA=2B+Ph[/tex]

where

B is the area of the base

P is the perimeter of the base

h is the height of the prism

Find the area of the base B

[tex]B=(1.5)(1.8)=2.7\ cm^{2}[/tex]

Find the perimeter of the base P

[tex]P=2*(1.5+1.8)=6.6\ cm[/tex]

we have

[tex]h=4.5\ cm[/tex]

substitute the values

[tex]SA=2(2.7)+(6.6)(4.5)=35.1\ cm^{2}[/tex]

Part 2) Find the volume

The volume is equal to

[tex]V=Bh[/tex]

where

B is the area of the base

h is the height of the prism

we have

[tex]B=2.7\ cm^{2}[/tex]

[tex]h=4.5\ cm[/tex]

substitute

[tex]V=(2.7)(4.5)=12.15\ cm^{3}[/tex]
