Question

What is the surface area of the following triangular prism?

Answer 1

This question was answered but no solution was given. 

We already solve for the B or area of the triangular base which was 5.25cm².

There are 2 triangular faces in the prism so 5.25cm² x 2 = 10.50cm²
There are 3 rectangular face in the prism, we need to get the area of each.

area of a rectangle = length x width
rectangle 1: 5 cm x 4 cm = 20 cm²
same dimension with rectangle 2. so, area is 20 cm² also
rectangle 3: 5 cm x 2.8 cm = 14 cm²

let us all add up the area of each surface.
2 triangle = 10.50 cm²
3 rectangles = 20 cm² + 20 cm² + 14 cm² = 54 cm²

10.50 cm² + 54 cm² = 64.50 cm²
