Given:
A prism with height 5 cm and equilateral triangular base with side 2 cm.
To find:
The total surface area of the prism.
Solution:
Area of an equilateral triangle is:
Where, a is the side length.
Putting , we get
The base and top of the prism are congruent so their area must be equal.
The lateral surface area of the prism is:
Where, P is the perimeter of the base and h is the height of the prism.
The lateral surface area of the prism is:
Now, the total surface area is the sum of areas of bases and lateral surface area.
Therefore, the total surface area is 33.46 cm².
