Solution
from PIL import Image from pytesseract import image_to_string
Load the image from the provided path
image_path = "/mnt/data/17254162413052u7mlngc.jpg" img = Image.open(image_path)
Extract text from the image
extracted_text = image_to_string(img) extracted_textIt seems that the text extraction didn't fully capture the necessary details. I'll manually analyze the image to solve the problem.
Analysis of the Image
The image shows a right triangular prism with its net displayed alongside it. The net consists of several parts:
- Two triangular faces.
- Three rectangular faces.
The problem asks us to:
- Find the side lengths for the net.
- Use the net to find the surface area of the prism.
Step 1: Identify the Side Lengths
Given in the image:
- The triangular face has sides labeled 3 mm, 4 mm, and 5 mm (this is a right triangle).
- The height of the prism (which is also the length of the rectangle connected to the hypotenuse) is 15 mm.
The net's dimensions:
- A: Length of the rectangle adjacent to the side 3 mm.
- B: Length of the rectangle adjacent to the side 4 mm.
- C: Length of the rectangle adjacent to the hypotenuse 5 mm.
- D: Height of the prism (length of the rectangles) = 15 mm.
Answers:
- A = 3 mm
- B = 4 mm
- C = 5 mm
- D = 15 mm
Step 2: Calculate the Surface Area
The surface area is the sum of the areas of all faces.
Triangular Faces:
Each triangular face has an area: Since there are two triangular faces:
Rectangular Faces:
There are three rectangular faces:
Adding these:
Total Surface Area:
Final Answers:
- (a) Side lengths: mm, mm, mm, mm.
- (b) Surface area: .
Would you like further details on any part?
Here are 5 additional related questions:
- How would the surface area change if the height of the prism doubled?
- What is the volume of the triangular prism?
- How would you find the surface area if the prism were a rectangular prism instead?
- How does the Pythagorean theorem apply to the right triangle in the prism's net?
- If the prism's height were halved, how would that affect the surface area?
Tip: Always double-check your work by verifying each dimension against the original diagram.
