The area of a triangular roof section with a base of 7 feet and a height of 3.5 feet is
12.25 sq ft
the base of a triangular sail is 8 m shorter than its height. the area is 24cm^2. Find the base and the height of the sail.
All you have to do is find the area divide it by the base and then you get the height.
(1/3) * (base area) * height
When you say surface of a prism this means the total amount of space on the outside of the prism. You have specified it to be a triangular prism, but taking the surface area of all prisms is the same process for all prisms. When finding the surface area of a prism you always use this equation... S.A. = (2 x Area of Prism Base) + (Height x Perimeter of Prism Base) In a triangular prism the base would be a triangle. Therefore to find the area you have to do 0.5 x base of the triangle x height of the triangle. For the perimeter of the triangle just add the length of all the sides together. The height indicated in your S.A. = ... formula... is how tall the prism actually stands. So since this prism is a triangular prism take the general surface area equation and put the correct triangular measurements into the general equation and you have this... S.A. = [2 x 0.5 x (height) x (base)] + [Height x perimeter] Here is the formula in word form. The surface area of a triangular prism is equal to two multiplied by one half multiplied by the height of the traingular height multiplied by the triangular base compute this number and then add it to the product of the height of the prism times the perimeter of the triangular base.
There is no relationship, in the sense that you can have any base are with any height. For a prism shape (if the horizontal cross section is always the same as the base), the base area times the height is equal to the volume.
Area = (base x height) / 2
the base of a triangular sail is 8 m shorter than its height. the area is 24cm^2. Find the base and the height of the sail.
One half base times height (of the triangular section) times length.
Volume = 1/3 * Base area * Height So Base area = 3 * Volume / Height
triangular prism- formula: Abh(area of the base * height)
All you have to do is find the area divide it by the base and then you get the height.
Area of triangular cross-section = 0.5*3*4.5 cm2 Volume of box = Cross sectiona area*height = 0.5*3*4.5*25 cm3 = 168.75 cm3
The volume is equal to the area of the base multiplied by the height. So, to find the height, just divide the volume by the area of the base.
To find the volume of a triangular prism, find the area of one of the triangles (base of the prism) first (base x height divided by 2). When you have the area of the triangle, then multiply the area of the triangle by the height of the prism, *not the height of the base.
okay, to find the base of a triangular prism you just b = 2a/h (base = 2 * area/height)
A tetrahedron is a triangular based pyramid and its area is worked out as for a triangle that is 0.5*base*height.
The volume of a prism is A = Bh , where B is the area of the base, and the height (length) must be perpendicular to the base. The volume of a square-sided triangular prism is A = 1/2 bhL where the triangular cross section has base b, and height h, and the perpendicular length is L.
