Answer:
3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
3/4 x 1/2 = 3/8
So a triangular prisim is like a triangle stacked on top of x number of identical triangles making a height, like a piece of paper made into a stack
so
basically find the area of each side and add
look at diagram/attachment
find area of triangle
1/2 b times h= area of 1 triangular face
multiply by 2 because 2 sides so 1/2 times 2 b times h=b times h
then 3 other sides
find area of each side and add
areas=(H times B)+(H times c)+(H times a)
so SA=(b times H)+(H times B)+(H times c)+(H times a)
Lets see!
We need to use the pythagorean theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2) to check.
So..
15^2+ 17^2 = 19^2
225+ 289= 361
Hm 225 and 289 do NOT equal 361 therefore it is NOT a right triangle.
2+2=4 x 20=80 I hope this is what you were looking for
