Question

Which equation can be used to calculate the surface area of the triangular prism net show below? The net of a rectangular prism. The rectangular sides are 10 centimeters by 13 centimeters, 10 centimeters by 12 centimeters, and 10 centimeters by 5 centimeters. The triangular sides have a base of 5 centimeters and height of 12 centimeters. [Not drawn to scale] Surface Area = (one-half) (5) (12) (5) (10) (12) (10) (13) (10) Surface Area = (one-half) (5) (13) (one-half) (5) (13) (13) (10) (12) (10) Surface Area = (2) (5) (13) (5) (10) (13) (10) (12) (10) Surface Area = (one-half) (5) (12) (one-half) (5) (12) (5) (10) (12) (10) (13) (10).

Answer 1

The  $13\times10+12\times10+5\times10+\rm \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times12+\rm \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times12$  equation can be used to calculate the surface area of the triangular prism.

It is given that the triangular prism net showing in the figure with dimensions.

It is required to find which equation can be used to find the surface area of the triangular prism net.

What is surface area?

It is defined as the area of 3-dimensional geometry surfaces area sum which is occupying the outer area of the object.

We know the area of a rectangle = length × width

Area of the top rectangle = 13×10

Area of the middle rectangle = 12×10

Area of bottom rectangle=  5×10

The formula for finding the area of a triangle:

$\rm A=\frac{1}{2} \times bh$

Area of right triangle = $\rm \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times12$

Area of left triangle = $\rm \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times12$

The surface area = Area of top+ Area of middle+ Area of bottom+ Area of    

                                a right triangle+ Area of the left triangle  

$=13\times10+12\times10+5\times10+\rm \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times12+\rm \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times12$

Thus, the $13\times10+12\times10+5\times10+\rm \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times12+\rm \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times12$  equation can be used to calculate the surface area of the triangular prism.
