I need to know which solid you mean. A common interpretation is a triangular prism whose base is an equilateral triangle with side 3 and whose prism height (length) is 8. If that's what you mean:
- Area of one equilateral base = (√3/4)·a^2 = (√3/4)·3^2 = 9√3/4.
- Surface area = 2·(base area) + (perimeter of base)·height
= 2·(9√3/4) + (3+3+3)·8
= 9√3/2 + 72 ≈ 72 + 7.794 = 79.794 (≈79.8).
If you meant a different solid (e.g. a rectangular prism with square base 3×3 and height 8, or a pyramid), tell me which one and I’ll compute that surface area.
