What is the missing length l of the triangular prism if the surface area is 524 square centimeters? (1 point) Responses 10 cm 10 cm 16 cm 16 cm 8 cm 8 cm 17 cm
In order to calculate the missing length, we need to know the dimensions of the triangular prism. A triangular prism has three rectangular faces and two triangular faces.
Let's assume the dimensions of the rectangular base of the triangular prism are l and w, where l is the missing length and w is the width.
The surface area of a triangular prism is given by the formula:
Surface Area = 2lw + lh + wh
Given that the surface area is 524 square centimeters, and one of the dimensions (either l or w) is missing, we cannot determine the exact value of the missing length l without additional information.
Therefore, the correct answer is: It is not possible to determine the missing length l without knowing the dimensions of the triangular prism.
