Step-by-step solution
2 stepsIdentify the base and calculate the perpendicular height of the outer triangle.
From the previous image (the net), the outer triangles ("The Back" and "The Front") are isosceles triangles.
The base of the triangle is .
The two equal slanted sides are each.
To find the perpendicular height (), we can use the Pythagorean theorem. The height divides the isosceles triangle into two right-angled triangles, where half of the base is one leg, the height is the other leg, and the slanted side is the hypotenuse.
Half of the base .Using the Pythagorean theorem ():
Calculate the area of the outer triangle using the given formula.
The formula for the area of a triangle is:
Substitute the values for the base and the calculated perpendicular height:
The area of the outer triangle is approximately .
