The total surface area of a right angled triangular base prism is 660 cm 2. If its length of one side of base is 12 cm and hypotenuse is 13 cm, find the length of the prism

Answer:

[tex]18\text{cm}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\text{Solution: }\\\text{Length of base of right triangle}(b)=12\text{cm}\\\text{Length of hypotenuse}(h)=13\text{cm}\\\text{Length of remaining side }(p)=?\\\\\text{Using pythagoras theorem,}\\\\p=\sqrt{h^2-b^2}=\sqrt{13^2-12^2}=\sqrt{169-144}=\sqrt{25}=5\text{cm}\\\\\therefore\ \text{AB = DE = 5cm}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Let the length of the prism be }l.\\\text{According to the question,}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Total Surface Area = 660cm}^2\\\text{or, Area of }(\triangle\text{ABC}+\triangle\text{FED + rect.ABDE + rect.BCFE + rect.ACFD})=660\\\\\text{or, }\dfrac{1}{2}\times12\times5+\dfrac{1}{2}\times12\times5+5l+12l+13l=660\\\\\text{or, }60+60+30l=660\\\text{or, }30l=540\\\text{or, }l=18\text{cm}[/tex]
