Fill 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) there is a blank at the end

1 answer

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

\[ S.A. = (S_{base}) + (S_1 + S_2 + S_3) \]

where \( S_{base} \) represents the area of the triangular base, and \( S_1, S_2, \) and \( S_3 \) are the areas of the three rectangular lateral faces.

So, if you're looking to fill in the final blank:

The complete formula is:

\[ S.A. = (S_{base}) + (S_1 + S_2 + S_3) \]

The final blank could be filled with:

\[ S_{base} \]

if you need to specify the base area as an additional term. If you’re looking for a more general way, you could simply say "the area of the two triangular bases".
