Question

Find the surface area of the triangular prism shown below .

Answer 1

Answer:

the surface area should be 544 (whatever the unit is)

Step-by-step explanation:

You start by taking the rectangles on the side and finding their area.

1. (10×14)×2 ←Because there are two rectanglular sides.

2. find the area of the triangles on the side. 1/2bh = area of triangle.

(.5×8×6)×4 ← in order to find the area for all of the triangles.

3.  lastly take the base of the prism and find the area then add the previously found values together.

(12×14)+(.5×8×6)×4+ (10×14)×2 = 544
