Picture below consider the net of a triangular prism where each unit on the coordinate plane represents four feet. if a sheet of plywood measures 4 ft x 8 ft, how many sheets of plywood will a carpenter need to build the prism?
a) 2
b) 3
c) 4
d) 5

The carpenter will need 2 plywood to build the prism.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The size of the plywood = 4 ft x 8 ft

1 Unit = 4 feet

To Find :

Number of plywood sheets the carpenter would need = "

Solution:

Step 1: Find the area of  square

Area of the square is

=>

=>

Here we have 3 square, so

=>

Step 2 : Area of the triangle

Area of the triangle is

=>

=>

=>

=>

Step 3: Finding the plywood needed

the total area of the  triangular prism is

48 + 16=  

Area of the plywood wood is

=>

=>

Number of plywood required =

=>

=> 2

what are the answer choices given for this problem?
