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)

the line containing the altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose vertices are p(-1, 1), q(3, 5), and r(5, -5).

The equation of the straight line is given by 5y-x=6

An equation can be used to describe a straight line drawn on the Cartesian Plane. These equations have a generic structure and can change based on the slope and where the line intersects the axes.

We will greatly simplify this issue by utilizing the fact that this triangle is specified as a right triangle. We would have had to establish the presence of a right angle if it had been presented as a general triangle.

The segment QR is the hypotenuse of the triangle.

Any side's altitude is located along a line that is perpendicular to that side. We are aware that the slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals, or:

Slope of line joining Q(3, 5) and R(5, -5)

m= $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$
