Question

Find the surface area of the equilateral triangular prism below.

Answer 1

Answer:

Area of a triangle = bh/2

Area of a rectangle = bh

The area of the triangles are the same, the area of the rectangles are the same.

triangle: 9x8/2

72/2 = 36

Rectangle: 8x14=112

There are 2 triangles and 3 rectangles so,

2(36)+3(112)

72+336= 408 in²
