Answer: 1080
Determine the values of b1, b2, and b3, the sides of the triangular base. Also determine the value of h, the height of the triangular base and l, the length of the prism (the length between the bases).
The sides of the triangular base are:
b1 = 13 in.
b2 = 14 in.
b3 = 15 in.
The triangular base is a right triangle, and so the height is one of our sides. We will use
h = 12 in.
The length of the prism is
l = 20 in.
total surface area = bh + (b1+b2+b3)*l
bh = 12*20 = 240
l * (b1+b2+b3) = 20*(13 + 14+ 15) = 840
TSA = bh + l * (b1 + b2 + b3) = 240 + 840 = 1080
