Question

A pencil holder shaped like a triangular prism is shown the height of the prism is 12 CM what is the lateral surface area of the pencil holder and square centimeters

Answer 1

To find the lateral surface area of a triangular prism, we need to find the perimeter of the triangular base and multiply it by the height of the prism.

In a triangular prism, the base is a triangle. Let's assume that the triangle is an equilateral triangle. To find the perimeter of an equilateral triangle, we multiply the length of one side by 3.

Since we don't have the length of the side of the triangle, we'll need more information to calculate it.
