To calculate the surface area of a triangular prism, we first need to find the surface area of the two triangular bases and the three rectangular sides.
1. Surface area of the two triangular bases:
Area = 0.5 * base * height
Area = 0.5 * 20 ft * 9 ft = 90 sq. ft (for one base)
Total area for both bases = 2 * 90 sq. ft = 180 sq. ft
2. Surface area of the three rectangular sides:
- Two sides with dimensions 20 ft * 9 ft = 180 sq. ft each
- One side with dimensions 24 ft * 9 ft = 216 sq. ft
Total area for all three sides = 180 sq. ft * 2 + 216 sq. ft = 576 sq. ft
Therefore, total surface area = 180 sq. ft (for bases) + 576 sq. ft (for sides) = 756 sq. ft
Therefore, the correct answer is not provided. The surface area of the triangular prism-shaped tent is 756 sq. ft.
Calculate the surface area of a triangular prism shaped tent if the height is 9 ft., the length is 24 ft., the width is 20 ft., and the hypotenuse of the cover is 13.45 ft.
