6x + 9
First, simplify x
3x + -3x + 5x = 6x
Then, simplify the rest of the numbers:
2 + 7 = 9
Then make the equation:
6x + 9
Answer: 37 units
Step-by-step explanation:
This also works as the height of the triangle.
This also works as the base of the triangle.
Let's call pink ''a'', and blue ''b''. The side we're looking for ''c'' is the hypothenuse.
To find the values of a and b, use the area formula of a square and solve for a side. In this case, since we're going to need the squared values, this step can be omitted.

![s=\sqrt[]{A}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=s%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7BA%7D)
Let's work with Blue.
![s=\sqrt[]{144units^2} \\s=12units](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=s%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B144units%5E2%7D%20%5C%5Cs%3D12units)
Now Pink.
![s=\sqrt[]{1225units^2}\\s=35units](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=s%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B1225units%5E2%7D%5C%5Cs%3D35units)
So we have a triangle with a base of 35 units and a height of 12 units.
Now let's use the pythagoream's theorem to solve.
![c^2=a^2+b^2\\c=\sqrt[]{a^2+b^2} \\c=\sqrt[]{(12units)^2+(35units)^2}\\c=\sqrt[]{144units^2+1225units^2}\\ c=\sqrt[]{1369units^2}\\ c=37units](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=c%5E2%3Da%5E2%2Bb%5E2%5C%5Cc%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7Ba%5E2%2Bb%5E2%7D%20%5C%5Cc%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B%2812units%29%5E2%2B%2835units%29%5E2%7D%5C%5Cc%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B144units%5E2%2B1225units%5E2%7D%5C%5C%20c%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B1369units%5E2%7D%5C%5C%20c%3D37units)
The formula to find the surface area of a triangular prism is basically finding out the area of one of the faces of a traingle, which is:

</span>So, basically you take the face of the triangle that your trying to find the surface area of and plug in your values for the base length and height, multiply them together, hen divide that product by 2 to find your surface area :)
Thank you for the question! I hope this helped! Have an amazing day!! :D
