Question

Find the surface area of this triangular prism. Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

270 yds squared    

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to area of each of the shapes that make up the triangular prism. So, the side triangles, the back rectangle, the bottom rectangle and the top rectangle.

Side triangle (1x): base*height/2

12*5/2

60/2

30 yds, 60 yds for both sides.

Back rectangle: length*width

5*7

35 yds

Bottom Rectangle: length*width

7*12

84 yds

Top rectangle: length*width

7*13

91 yds.

To get the final answer, you add the surface areas together to get the final amount of yards: 30+30+35+84+91= 270 yds squared. Hope this helps.
