Question

The equation SA = 2B + Ph represents the surface area of a triangular prism. Which of the following describes the meaning of B?B is the length of the baseB is the area of the baseB is the width of the baseB is the volume of the base

Answer 1

Given the equation:

SA = 2B + Ph

The given equation represents the surface area of a triangular prism.

Let's determine the meaning of B.

Since the formula represents the surface area of a triangular prism, we have the following:

B is the area of the triangular base

P is the perimeter of the base

h is the height of the prism.

Therefore the statement which describes the meaning of B is:

B is the area of the base.

ANSWER:

B is the area of the base.
