A right prism of height 15 cm has bases that are right triangles with legs 5 cm and 12 cm. Find the total surface area of the prism. Please explain. a) 315 cm2 squared
b) 480 cm2 squared
c) 510 cm2 squared
d) 570 cm2

Option (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of a right prism = 2(Area of the triangular base) + Ph

Here, P = Perimeter of the base

h = Height of the prism

Area of the triangular base =

                                             =

                                             = 30 cm²

Height of the prism = 15 cm

Perimeter of the base = (5 + 12 + 13)

                                     = 30 cm

Surface area of the right prism = 2(30) + 30(15)

                                                   = 60 + 450

                                                   = 510 cm²

Therefore, Option (C) will be the correct option.

distance covered by pamela in 9 l of fuel = 99km

let us apply unitary method here.

distance covered by pamela in 1 l of fuel =99/9 =11 km

now let us find distance covered by pamela if she has 12 l of fuel.

distance covered in 12 l = distance covered in 1 l of fuel * 12

we know that distance covered by here in 1 l is 11 km.

so distance covered in 12 l of fuel = 11*12 = 132 km.
