Consider the net of a triangular prism where each unit on the coordinate plane represents four feet. If a sheet of plywood measures 4 ft x 8 ft, how many sheets of plywood will a carpenter need to build the prism?

Answer:

Explanation:

2 sheets of plywood will be needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached diagram.

Each three square plywood has area 1 units by 3 units = 4 feet by 12 feet = 48 feet square.  {Since each unit on the coordinate plane represents four feet}

Now, the two triangular plywood has area half of a unit square area.

So, two triangular plywood has total area = 1 unit by 1 unit = 4 feet by 4 feet = 16 feet square.

Therefore, the total area of plywood required to make the triangular prism is (48 + 16) = 64 feet square.

Now, if a sheet of plywood measures 4 ft by 8 ft i.e. 32 feet square, then the carpenter will need such sheets of plywood. (Answer)
