To find the surface area of the net of a triangular prism, we need to find the area of each face separately and then add them all together.
1. The two triangular faces:
Both triangles have a base of 17m and a height of 16m. The area of one triangle is (1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * 17m * 16m = 136m². Since there are two triangular faces, the total area for both is 2 * 136m² = 272m².
2. The three rectangular faces:
There are three rectangles on the net, with dimensions 17m by 15m, 15m by 11m, and 16m by 11m.
Area of the first rectangle = length * width = 17m * 15m = 255m²
Area of the second rectangle = length * width = 15m * 11m = 165m²
Area of the third rectangle = length * width = 16m * 11m = 176m²
Adding the areas of all three rectangles: 255m² + 165m² + 176m² = 596m²
Total surface area of the net of the triangular prism:
272m² (triangular faces) + 596m² (rectangular faces) = 868m²
Therefore, the surface area of the net of the triangular prism is 868m².

Apologies for the oversight. Let's calculate the surface area of the net of the triangular prism including the base.
1. The base of the prism:
The base of the prism is a triangle with base 15m and height 16m. The area of the base triangle is (1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * 15m * 16m = 120m².
2. The two triangular faces:
The area of each triangular face is calculated as before:
Area of one triangular face = (1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * 17m * 16m = 136m²
Total area for both triangular faces = 2 * 136m² = 272m².
3. The three rectangular faces:
The area of the three rectangular faces was previously calculated as:
Area of the first rectangle = 255m²
Area of the second rectangle = 165m²
Area of the third rectangle = 176m²
Total area for the rectangular faces = 596m².
Adding the areas of the base, triangular faces, and rectangular faces:
120m² (base) + 272m² (triangular faces) + 596m² (rectangular faces) = 988m².
Therefore, the correct surface area of the net of the triangular prism, including the base, is 988m². Thank you for pointing out the missing area calculation for the base.
1. The base of the prism:
The base of the prism is a triangle with base 15m and height 16m. The area of the base triangle is (1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * 15m * 16m = 120m².
2. The two triangular faces:
The area of each triangular face is calculated as before:
Area of one triangular face = (1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * 17m * 16m = 136m²
Total area for both triangular faces = 2 * 136m² = 272m².
3. The three rectangular faces:
The area of the three rectangular faces was previously calculated as:
Area of the first rectangle = 255m²
Area of the second rectangle = 165m²
Area of the third rectangle = 176m²
Total area for the rectangular faces = 596m².
Adding the areas of the base, triangular faces, and rectangular faces:
120m² (base) + 272m² (triangular faces) + 596m² (rectangular faces) = 988m².
Therefore, the correct surface area of the net of the triangular prism, including the base, is 988m². Thank you for pointing out the missing area calculation for the base.
