Question

The surface area of the prism is ______ square units. All measurements in the image below are in units. (Input whole number only.)

Answer 1

To find the area of a triangle, use 1/2 x b x h.  3 x 4 = 12    1/2 of 12 = 6

There are two triangles, each of these are 6      6 x 2 = 12

The bottom shape is 3.5 x 3      3.5 x 3 = 10.5

The front shape is 3.5 x 5      3.5 x 5 = 17.5

The back shape is 3.5 x 4        3.5 x 4 = 14

Add them all together: 14 + 17.5 + 10.5 + 12 = 54

Your answer is 54!
