How do you find the surface area of a regular triangular prism
1 answer:
So a triangular prisim is like a triangle stacked on top of x number of identical triangles making a height, like a piece of paper made into a stack
so
basically find the area of each side and add
look at diagram/attachment
find area of triangle
1/2 b times h= area of 1 triangular face
multiply by 2 because 2 sides so 1/2 times 2 b times h=b times h
then 3 other sides
find area of each side and add
areas=(H times B)+(H times c)+(H times a)
so SA=(b times H)+(H times B)+(H times c)+(H times a)

Answer:
height = 11.5 in
Step-by-step explanation:
The area (A) of a trapezoid is calculated using the formula
A = h(a + b)
where h is the height and a, b the bases
here a = 21, b = 8 and A = 166.75, hence
h(21 + 8) = 166.75
Multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction
29h = 333.5 ( divide both sides by 29 )
h = 11.5 in
