An illustration shows a 2 D net of a triangular prism with all of its sides open and visible. Dimensions are labeled. The parts that are not visible in 3 D view are marked with dashed lines. It appears as a triangle in the middle attached to a rectangle on each side. The sides of two legs of the triangle are each labeled 9 centimeters. The length and width of the rectangles is 17 centimeters and 9 centimeters respectively. Another triangle of vertical height 7.8 centimeters is attached to one of the rectangles, opposite to the middle triangle.
What is the total surface area represented by this net of a triangular prism? Your answer should have two decimal places.
529.20 cm^2
1 answer
The total surface area represented by this net of a triangular prism is 529.20 cm^2 because you need to add up the area of all the visible sides of the shapes in the net. Each side's area was calculated using the formula for the area of that specific shape. After adding them all together, you get the total surface area.
