Answer:

The surface area of the larger triangular prism is 4 times the surface area of the smaller triangular prism

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its perimeters is equal to the scale factor and the ratio of its surface areas is equal to the scale factor squared

Let

z ----> the scale factor

In this problem

z=2

therefore

z²=2²=4

The surface area of the larger triangular prism is 4 times the surface area of the smaller triangular prism
