Answer:
Find the lateral area of the triangular pyramid.
We have three equilateral triangles with base 3 ft. and height 17 ft.
b = 3 ft Length of base
h_B = 2.6 ft Height of base
Lateral area:
3 . (\(\frac{1}{2}\) . b . h_b) = 3 . \(\frac{1}{2}\) . 3 . (2.6) = 11.7 ft²
The base is the same triangle as triangles in lateral faces of triangular pyramid
Therefore, area of the base is: \(\frac{1}{2}\) . b . h_b = 3.9 ft
The total surface area is 11.7 + 3.9 = 15.6 ft².
The lateral area is 11.1 ft².
The total surface area is 15.6 ft².

h_B = 20 ft Height of base
Lateral area:
4. (\(\frac{1}{2}\) . b. h_b) = 4 . \(\frac{1}{2}\) . 16 . 20 = 640 in²
The base is in the shape of rectangle.
Therefore, area of the base is: b . b = 256 in
The total surface area is 640 + 256 = 896 in²
The lateral area is 640 in².
The total surface area is 896 in².

Example 3.
Shoshanna’s team plans to build stands to display sculptures. Each stand will be in the shape of a rectangular prism. The prism will have a square base with side lengths of 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) feet, and it will be 3\(\frac{1}{2}\) feet high. The team plans to cover the stands with metallic foil that costs $0.22 per square foot. How much money will the team save on each stand if they cover only the lateral area instead of the total surface area?

Step 1
Make a net of the rectangular prism.

Step 2
Find the lateral and total surface areas of the prism.
The four lateral faces are 3\(\frac{1}{2}\) feet by 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) feet rectangles. The two bases are 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) feet by 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) feet squares.
Lateral area: 4\(\frac{1}{2}\) . (3\(\frac{1}{2}\) . 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)) = 35 square feet
Total surface area: 2 (2\(\frac{1}{2}\) . 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)) + 35 = 47\(\frac{1}{2}\) square feet

Add the area of the bases to the lateral area.

Step 3
Find and compare the prices.
Cost for total surface area: $0.22(47\(\frac{1}{2}\)) = $10.45
Cost for lateral area: $0.22(35) = $7.70
The team will save $10.45 – $7.70, or $2.75, for each stand by covering only the lateral area.

b = 3 ft Length of base
h_B = 6.1 ft Height of base
Lateral area:
3. (\(\frac{1}{2}\) . b. h_b) = 3 . \(\frac{1}{2}\) . 3. (6.1) = 27.45 ft²
Base area:
B = 3.9 ft²
If they cover both whole pyramids they will spend:
2 (27.45 + 3.9) = 62.7 ft^2<
If we cover the lateral area of two pyramids we will spend:
2 . (27.45) = 54.9 ft²
The team will save:
0.22. (62.7 – 54.9) = 0.22. 7.8 = $1.7
The team will save $1.7

Essential Question Check-In

Question 11.
How do you find the lateral and total surface area of a triangular pyramid?
Answer:
Lateral surface area of any three-dimensional figure means the sum of area of all sides except the area of base. And the total surface area means the area of all the sides of figure including the area of base.

Now in case of triangular pyramid it will have total four faces including the base triangle. So the lateral surface area will. be the sum of areas of all the three triangle which are faces of triangular pyramid except the base triangle. And the total surface area will be the sum of areas of all the four triangle including the base triangle

Question 22.
Persevere in Problem Solving A pedestal in a craft store is in the shape of a triangular prism. The bases are right triangles with side lengths of 12 cm, 16 cm, and 20 cm. The store owner used 192 cm² of burlap cloth to cover the lateral area of the pedestal. Find the height of the pedestal.
Answer:
Lateral area:
One 20 cm. by h cm. rectangle;
One 12 cm. by h cm. rectangle;
One 16 cm. by h cm. rectangle.
1 . (20 . h) = 20 . h.
1 . (12 . h) = 12 . h.
1 . (16 . h.) = 16 . h.
Lateral area: 20 . h. + 12 . h + 16 . h = 48 . h cm².
The lateral area is 192 cm².
192 = 48 . h.
Divide both sides by 48.

Question 23.
Communicate Mathematical Ideas The base of Prism A has an area of 80 ft², and the base of Prism B has an area of 80 ft². The height of Prism A is the same as the height of Prism B. Is the base of Prism A congruent to the base of Prism B? Explain.
Answer:
The base of Prism A has the same area with the base of Prism B. They could be congruent however, it depends on the shape of the base. If the bases of Prism A and Prism B are both squares, then they are congruent. But if the bases of Prism A and Prism B are triangle or rectangle, there could be a difference in the dimensions of the triangle base and the rectangle base, which makes them not congruent It is because congruent figures have the same shape and size.

It depends on the shape of the base.

Question 24.
Critique Reasoning A triangular pyramid is made of 4 equilateral triangles. The sides of the triangles measure 5 m, and the height of each triangle is 4.3 m. A rectangular prism has a height of 4.3 m and a square base that is 5 m on each side. Susan says that the total surface area of the prism is more than twice the total surface area of the pyramid. Is she correct? Explain.
Answer:
Triangular pyramid:
For lateral area:
We have three triangles with base of 5 m. and height of 4.3 m.
b = 5m Length of base
h_B = 4.3 m Height of base
Lateral area:
3. (\(\frac{1}{2}\). b . h_b) = 3 . \(\frac{1}{2}\) . 5 . (4.3) = 32.25 m²
Lateral area: 32.25 m².
The base is in the shape of triangle with base of 5 m. and height of 4.3 m
Base area: 1 . (\(\frac{1}{2}\) . 5. (4.3)) = 10.75 m²
The total surface area is 32.25 + 10.75 = 43 m²
Rectangular prism:
For lateral area:
We have four 5 m. by 4.3 m. rectangles.
4 . (5 . (4.3)) = 86
Lateral area: 86 m²
The base is in the shape of 5 m. by 5 m. rectangle.
Base area:
2 (5 . 5) = 50 m²
The total surface area is 86 + 50 = 136 m².

Susan is correct. The total surface of area of the prism is three times of total surface area of the pyramid.
