In order to calculate the surface area of a triangular prism, you need to know the base (b), height (h), and the lengths of the three sides (s1, s2, s3) of the triangle.
Once you have those measurements, you can use the formula:
Surface Area = base * height + sum of the three sides
So, if you have the numbers:
b = 5 cm
h = 8 cm
s1 = 7 cm
s2 = 9 cm
s3 = 6 cm
Surface Area = (5 * 8) + (7 + 9 + 6)
Surface Area = (40) + (22)
Surface Area = 62 cm^2
Therefore, the surface area of the triangular prism is 62 cm^2.
