Answer:
Surface area of triangular prism is:
Surface area = 2376ft
Step-by-step explanation:
A triangular prism is the one which has 3 rectangular sides and 2 triangular sides. To find the surface area of a triangular prism, we have to find the surface area of 3 rectangular side and 2 triangular sides and add them up
Surface Area (rectangle) = Length · Width
Surface Area (triangle) = (1/2)(Base)(Height)
Rectangular side 1:
Length = 40 ft
Width = 24 ft
Surface Area = 40 · 24
Surface Area = 960ft
Rectangular side 2:
Length = 40 ft
Width = 15 ft
Surface Area = 40 · 15
Surface Area = 600ft
Rectangular side 3:
Length = 40 ft
Width = 15 ft
Surface Area = 40 · 15
Surface Area = 600ft
Triangular side 1:
Base = 24 ft
height = 9 ft
Surface Area = (1/2)(24)(9)
Surface Area = 108ft
Triangular side 2:
Base = 24 ft
height = 9 ft
Surface Area = (1/2)(24)(9)
Surface Area = 108ft
SURFACE AREA OF TRIANGULAR PRISM:
Add all surface areas found above
Surface area = 960 + 600 + 600 + 108 + 108
Surface area = 2376ft
