To find the surface area of the triangular prism, we first need to find the areas of each individual face.
The triangular faces have the dimensions:
- Base: 7.48 cm, Height: 17 cm
- Base: 15 cm, Height: 13 cm
The formula for the area of a triangle is A = 1/2 * base * height.
First triangular face:
A = 1/2 * 7.48 cm * 17 cm = 63.46 cm²
Second triangular face:
A = 1/2 * 15 cm * 13 cm = 97.5 cm²
Now, we need to find the area of each rectangular face. The dimensions of the rectangular faces are:
- 7.48 cm x 15 cm
- 17 cm x 13 cm
Area of first rectangular face:
A = 7.48 cm * 15 cm = 112.2 cm²
Area of second rectangular face:
A = 17 cm * 13 cm = 221 cm²
Therefore, the total surface area of the triangular prism is the sum of the areas of all faces:
63.46 cm² + 97.5 cm² + 112.2 cm² + 221 cm² = 494.16 cm²
So, the surface area of the triangular prism is 494.16 cm².
