A scale model of a ramp is a right triangular prism as given in this figure. in the actual ramp, the triangular base has a height of 0.5 yards. what is the surface area of the actual ramp, including the underside? enter your answer as a decimal in the box.

Sagot :

The surface area of the actual ramp including the underside is 16.8 ft²

The height of the actual ramp = 1.2 feet  

The height of the model = 6 cm

What is the surface area of a right triangular prism?

A right triangular prism is a 3-dimensional triangle with two congruent triangular faces and 3 rectangular faces that connect the triangular.

The surface area of a right triangular prism

= (Perimeter of the base × Length of the prism) + (2 × Base Area)

Scale factor = 1.2 feet / 6 cm = 0.2 ft/cm

Actual base = 16 cm × 0.2 ft/cm = 3.2 ft

convert the units

9 cm = 9 cm × 0.2 ft/cm = 1.8 ft

10 cm = 10 cm × 0.2 ft/cm = 2 ft

The surface area of a right triangular prism

= (Perimeter of the base × Length of the prism) + (2 × Base Area)

Surface area of actual ramp = 2(0.5 × 3.2 ft × 1.2 ft) + 2(2 ft × 1.8 ft) + (1.8 ft × 3.2 ft)

= 16.8 ft²

Hence, the surface area of the actual ramp including the underside is 16.8 ft²
