B. 360 Sq yards

C. 330 Sq yards

D. 240 sq yards

1 answer

To calculate the surface area of a triangular prism, you need the following components:

  1. The area of the two triangular bases.
  2. The area of the three rectangular sides.

The formula for the surface area \( S \) of a triangular prism is given by:

\[ S = A_{triangle} \times 2 + P_{triangle} \times h \]

Where:

  • \( A_{triangle} \) is the area of the triangular base.
  • \( P_{triangle} \) is the perimeter of the triangular base.
  • \( h \) is the height (length) of the prism.

However, since you haven’t provided specific measurements for the triangle's base, height, or the height of the prism, I cannot calculate the surface area directly.

If you can provide the dimensions of the triangle and the height of the prism, I can help you determine the correct surface area. Alternatively, if you have options presented, you may need to make a choice based on other information or context, such as previous calculations or estimations.
