Find the base area $ B $ of a triangular prism if side $a = 2$ and length $l = 2.8$.
Answer
$B = \sqrt{ 3 }$
Explanation
To find base area $ B $ use formula:
$$ B = \dfrac{ \sqrt{ 3 } \cdot a^2 }{ 4 } $$After substituting $ a = 2 $ we have:
$$ B = \dfrac{ \sqrt{ 3 } \cdot 2^2 }{ 4 } $$ $$ B = \dfrac{ \sqrt{ 3 } \cdot 4 }{ 4 }$$ $$ B = \dfrac{ 4 \sqrt{ 3 } }{ 4 }$$ $$ B = \sqrt{ 3 } $$This page was created using
