Question

What is the surface area of the prism?

Answer 1

Step 1: Find the area of the bases (triangles)

A = 1/2 * base * height

A = 1/2 * 16 * 6

A = 48

48 + 48 = 96

Area of the triangles = 96 cm^2

Step 2: Find the area of the sides (rectangles)

A = base * height

A1 = 16 * 12

A1 = 192

A2 = 10 * 12

A2 = 120

120 + 120 = 240

240 + 192 = 432 cm^2

Step 2: Add the areas together

96 + 432

528 cm^2

Hope this helps!! :)
