In the formula \( S.A. = bh + (S1 + S2 + S3)l \), the term \( bh \) represents **the combined area of the two triangular bases**.
This is because \( b \) refers to the base of the triangular base and \( h \) refers to the height of the triangular base. Since there are two triangular bases in a triangular prism, the area represented by \( bh \) is the combined area of both triangular bases.
