To find the surface area of the net of the triangular prism, you need to calculate the area of each face and add them together.
1. Calculate the area of the triangular faces:
- Triangular face 1: (1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * 16 * 15 = 120 square meters
- Triangular face 2: (1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * 16 * 15 = 120 square meters
2. Calculate the area of the rectangle face (the base):
- Length * Width = 17 * 11 = 187 square meters
3. Add up all the areas:
120 (triangle 1) + 120 (triangle 2) + 187 (rectangle) = 427 square meters
Therefore, the surface area of the net of the triangular prism is 427 square meters.
None of the options provided match the calculated surface area, but 779 square meters is the closest option.
17 is the lenght of the triangle face
15 height
16 the bottom eedge of the triangle
11 lengt of one of the sides of the base
