What is the surface area of the net Of the triangular prisim

1 answer

The surface area of a triangular prism can be calculated by finding the total area of the three rectangular faces and the two triangular faces.

Let the dimensions of the triangular prism be:
- Base: b
- Height: h
- Side length of triangle: s

The surface area of the triangular prism can be calculated using the formula:

Surface Area = (2 * base area of triangle) + (3 * area of rectangle)
Surface Area = (2 * (1/2 * base * height)) + (3 * (base * height))

Substitute the formula for base area of a triangle and the area of a rectangle:

Surface Area = (2 * (1/2 * s * h)) + (3 * (b * h))
Surface Area = (s * h) + (3 * b * h)

Therefore, the surface area of the net of the triangular prism is s * h + 3 * b * h.
