Prism

Right-angled prism, whose base is a right triangle with leg a = 3 cm and hypotenuse c = 13 cm, has the same volume as a cube with an edge length of 3 dm.

a) Find the height of the prism
b) Calculate the surface of the prism
c) What percentage of the cube's surface is prism surface area?

Correct answer:

a) h =  1423 cm
b) S =  40806.3 cm²
c) p =  755.7 %

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} x=\sqrt{13^2-3^2}=12.65cm \\ {S}_1={\displaystyle \frac{12.65\cdot 3}{2}}=18.97c{m}^2 \\ V=(10\cdot 3{)}^3=27000=S_{1}h \\ h={\displaystyle \frac{27000}{18.97}}=1423\text{ cm} \end{gathered}$$

$S=2S_1+h(13+3+12.65)=40806.3{\text{cm}}^2$

$$\begin{gathered} S_k=6\cdot (10\cdot 3{)}^2=5400c{m}^2 \\ p=100{\displaystyle \frac{S}{S_k}}=755.7\mathrm{\%} \end{gathered}$$
