Surface Area of an Equilateral Triangle
To find the amount of warping paper used, we can use the formula of surface area of an equilateral triangle since the triangle used here is an equilateral triangle.
[tex]Surface Area = base area + \frac{1}{2}(perimeter * slant height)[/tex]
Let's calculate the base area and perimeter of the triangle.
base area of an equilateral triangle is given as
[tex]B.A = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} a^2[/tex]
Let's substitute the value and solve
[tex]B.A = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} a^2\\B.A = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}*10.39^2\\B.A = 46.74m^2[/tex]
The base area is 46.74m^2
Let's calculate the perimeter of the triangle
[tex]P = 3a\\[/tex]
Substitute the value into the equation and solve
[tex]P = 3a \\P = 3 * 10.39\\P = 31.17m^2[/tex]
We can proceed to substitute the values of the base area and perimeter of the triangle into the formula of the surface area of an equilateral triangle.
[tex]S.A = base area + \frac{1}{2}(perimeter * slant height)\\S.A = 46.74 + \frac{1}{2}(31.17*12)\\S.A = 46.74 + 374.04\\S.A = 420.78m^2[/tex]
The surface area of the equilateral triangle is 420.78m^2
