Fill in the question MARKS 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 represented by the formula:

\[ \text{S.A.} = \text{Base Area} + (S_1 + S_2 + S_3) \times \text{Height} \]

Where:

  • "Base Area" is the area of the triangular base.
  • \( S_1, S_2, S_3 \) are the lengths of the sides of the triangular base.
  • "Height" is the length of the prism (the distance between the two triangular bases).

So, filling in the question marks, we have:

The surface area of a triangular prism is

\[ \text{S.A.} = \text{Base Area} + (S_1 + S_2 + S_3) \times \text{Height} \]
