Answer:
Answers are below in bold
Step-by-step explanation:
1) A = 1/2bh Use this equation to find the area of each triangular base
A = 1/2(8)(6) Multiply
A = 1/2(48) Multiply
A = 12cm² Area of each triangular base
2) A = L x W Use this equation to find the area of the bottom rectangular face
A = 20 x 8 Multiply
A = 160 cm² Area of the bottom rectangular face
3) A = L x W Use this equation to find the area of the back rectangular face
A = 20 x 6 Multiply
A = 120 cm² Area of the back rectangular face
4) A = L x W Use this equation to find the area of the sloped rectangular face
A = 20 x 10 Multiply
A = 200 cm² Area of the sloped rectangular face
5) To find the total surface area of the triangular prism, add together all of the numbers.
A = 12 + 12 + 160 + 120 + 200 Add
A = 504 cm² Total area of the triangular prism
