Jess is building a skateboarding ramp in the shape of a triangular prism with the dimensions shown. If Jess wants to cover all faces of the ramp with plywood, how much plywood will he need? A triangular prism. The rectangular sides are 12 feet by 3 feet, 12 feet by 5 feet, and 12 feet by 4 feet. The 2 triangular sides have a base of 3 feet and height of 4 feet.

156 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

The rectangular sides are 12 feet by 3 feet, 12 feet by 5 feet, and 12 feet by 4 feet.

The 2 triangular sides have a base of 3 feet and height of 4 feet

We sum the area of each side:

Area of triangular side = 1/2 * base * height

Since there are 2 triangular sides :

Total area of triangular side = 2(1/2 * base * height)

Triangular side = 2 * 1/2 * 3 * 4 = 12 feet²

Area of rectangle sides = lengtb * width

Area 1 = 12 * 3 = 36 ft²

Area 2 = 12 * 5 = 60 ft²

Area 3 = 12 * 4 = 48 ft²

Total = 12 + 36 + 60 + 48 = 156 ft²

a complex number is a number that can be expressed in the form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers, and i is a solution of the equation x2 = −1. because no real number satisfies this equation, i is called an imaginary number. has no real solution, since the square of a real number cannot be negative.
