What is the height of the triangular base? Show your work. and What is the approximate amount of cardboard used to make the candy box?

Hope it helps :)

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a triangular prism shaped box is 2,400 cubic centimeters.

Base of the triangle = 16cm

Sides of the triangle = 17cm

Length of the box = 20cm

Triangular prism

A triangular prism is a three-sided prism made of a triangular base and a corresponding side.

A. To find the height of the base = 3 x the volume divided by the base area = 15cm.

B. The approximate amount of card board used to make the candy box:

Using the lateral prism as the sides will be:

Lateral area =  Perimeter of triangle X height of the prism

Lateral area =  (16 + 17 + 17) X 20

Lateral area =  50 X 20

Lateral area =  1,000 cm2

Therefore, the answer is 1000cm2.

answer: 1475

step-by-step explanation:

becuase you have to know what they are asking you

the answer is:

the correct option is the option b.

to calculate the surface area of the right cylinder, we need to use the following formula:

from the picture we know that:

so, substituting and calculting we have:

hence, we have that the correct option is the option b.

have a nice day!
