Find the surface area of
the prism.

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of the prism consists of four rectangles and two trapezoids. The sum of the areas of these polygons will give the total surface area of the prism:

Rectangle 1 (top base):

Rectangle 2 (bottom base):

Trapezoids 1 and 2 (lateral):

Rectangles 3 and 4 (lateral):

Thus the total surface area is equal to

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal
