71 ft^2

Answer 1

In order to calculate the surface area of a triangular prism, you need to find the area of the two triangular bases and the three rectangular faces.

For the triangular bases:
- Area = 0.5 * base * height

For the three rectangular faces:
- Area = base * height

Given the base and height of the triangular prism in the image, you can calculate the surface area using the formula provided:

SA = 2(0.5 * 1 * 6) + 1 + 1 + 6 + 6 + 1 + 6 = 2(3) + 1 + 1 + 6 + 6 + 1 + 6 = 6 + 1 + 1 + 6 + 6 + 1 + 6 = 27 ft^2

Therefore, the surface area of the triangular prism is 27 ft^2.

Answer 3

Apologies for the error in my previous response. Let's re-calculate the surface area of the triangular prism:

Given: Base = 1 ft, Height = 6 ft and Side length = 6 ft

Formula for the surface area of a triangular prism:
SA = 2(0.5 * base * height) + base * side1 + base * side2 + side1 * side2

Calculating:
SA = 2(0.5 * 1 * 6) + 1 * 6 + 1 * 6 + 6 * 6
SA = 2(3) + 6 + 6 + 36
SA = 6 + 6 + 6 + 36
SA = 54 ft^2

Therefore, the correct surface area of the triangular prism is 54 ft^2.
