Problem 17

For the right triangular prism found in Exercise \(16,\) suppose that the sides of the triangular base measure \(3 \mathrm{ft}, 4 \mathrm{ft}\), and \(5 \mathrm{ft}\). The altitude is \(6 \mathrm{ft}\) in length. a) Find the lateral area of the prism. b) Find the total area of the prism. c) Find the volume of the prism.

Problem 18

In Exercises 15 to 20 , use the fact that \(r^{2}+h^{2}=\ell^{2}\) in \(a\) right circular cone (Theorem 9.3.6). Find the length of the radius \(r\) of a right circular cone in which \(h=6\) yd and \(\ell=8\) yd.

Problem 18

Find the total area (surface area) of a regular tetrahedron if each edge has a length of 6 in.

Problem 20

The total area (surface area) of a regular octahedron is \(32 \sqrt{3} \mathrm{ft}^{2} .\) Find the a) area of each face. b) length of each edge.

Problem 21

Find the volume and the surface area of a "closed box" that has dimensions of \(15 \mathrm{cm}, 20 \mathrm{cm},\) and \(0.25 \mathrm{m}\) (Hint: \(1 \mathrm{m}=100 \mathrm{cm} .)\)

Problem 22

A cereal box measures 2 in. by 8 in. by 10 in. What is the volume of the box? How many square inches of cardboard make up its surface? (Disregard any hidden flaps.)

Problem 22

Find the approximate volume of a sphere with radius length \(r=33.5 \mathrm{mm}\)

Problem 23

The measures of the sides of the square base of a box are twice the measure of the height of the box. If the volume of the box is 108 in \(^{3},\) find the dimensions of the box.
