Complete Question:
Amit found and labeled the areas of each of the faces of the triangular prism as shown.
Which area calculation did Amit calculate incorrectly?
Rectangular face with area 30 cm2
Rectangular face with area 40 cm2
Rectangular face with area 50 cm2
Triangular faces with areas 48 cm2
Answer:
Triangular faces with areas 48 cm2
Explanation:
To find out which area calculation Amit got wrong, let's calculate each faces of the given triangular prism attached below:
There area of theb5 faces should be as follows:
Area of rectangular face with L = 10 and B = 5 would be ==> 10*5= 50cm²
Area of rectangular face with L = 8 and B = 5 would be 8*5 = 40cm²
Area of rectangular face with L = 6 and B = 5 would 6*5 = 30cm²
Area of each of the triangular faces will be ½*8*6 = 48/2 = 24cm²
From our calculations, we'd observe that Amit didn't calculate the area of the triangular faces correctly. Amit got 48cm² instead of 24cm²
