Write an equation for the surface area of both triangular bases of the net.

1 answer

The equation for the surface area of both triangular bases of the net can be calculated using the formula for the area of a triangle. Let's denote the base of the triangle as b and the height as h. Then the equation for the surface area of one triangular base is:

Surface area of one triangular base = 0.5 * base * height

Since the net has two triangular bases, the equation for the total surface area of both triangular bases would be:

Total surface area of both triangular bases = 2 * (0.5 * base * height)
Total surface area of both triangular bases = base * height
