<u>Given</u>:
The base of the triangle is b = 3 feet.
The height of the triangle is h = 4 feet.
The other side of the triangle is 5 feet.
The height of the triangular prism is 20 feet.
We need to determine the surface area of the triangular prism.
<u>Surface area of the triangular prism:</u>
The surface area of the triangular prism is given by the formula,
where b is the base of the triangle,
h is the height of the triangle,
s₁ , s₂ and s₃ are the sides of the triangle and
H is the height of the triangular prism.
Substituting the values, we get;
Thus, the surface area of the triangular prism is 252 ft²
