Answer:
468 square feet; Option C
Explanation:
We can see that the base of this triangular prism has dimensions 15 feet by 10 feet, so for starters let us compute the area of this base:
Area ⇒ 15 * 10 = 150 ft^2
Now the rectangular surface next to this base, has dimensions 9 feet by 10 feet, provided that 9 feet is a uniform height of the triangular prism:
Area ⇒ 9 * 10 = 90 ft^2
This third rectangle is provided with one dimensions, of 10 feet. If we were to imagine what part of the 3-d shape is is, it would in fact be the slanted top. To find the second dimension, you would imagine it to be 12 feet. Using that, the area of this rectangle is thus ⇒ 10 * 12 = 120 ft^2
Now the two triangles at the corners each have an area of ⇒ 1/2 * base * height = 1/2 * 12 * 9 = 6 * 9 = 54 ft^2, so they have a total area of ⇒ 108 ft^2
This means the surface area of the right, triangular prism is:
150 + 90 + 120 + 108 = Answer: 468 square feet
