What is the surface area of the triangular prism?Let the sides of the triangle be a, b, c, and a height of H. Then the surface area of the prism is given as SA = H(a + b + c)A triangular prism has bases with three congruent sides, each measuring 4 feet. The height of each triangle is approximately 3.5 feet.The distance between the triangular bases is 7 feet.Then the lateral surface area will beSA = 7 (4 + 4 + 4)SA = 7 x 12SA = 84 square feet. the correct option is D
