ill in the blanks to complete the formula for the surface area of a triangular prism. (1 point) The surface area of a triangular prism is S.A.= +(S1+S2+S3)

1 answer

The surface area of a triangular prism can be calculated using the formula:

\[ \text{S.A.} = (B) + (S_1 + S_2 + S_3) \]

Here:

  • \( B \) represents the area of the triangular base of the prism.
  • \( S_1 \), \( S_2 \), and \( S_3 \) are the areas of the three rectangular lateral faces (sides) of the prism.

So, when filling in the blanks, it would be:

The surface area of a triangular prism is S.A. = (B) + (S1 + S2 + S3).
