Answer :

  • 630ft^2

Explanation :

The surface area of a triangular prism is given by,

  • TSA = (S1 + S2 + S3)L + BH

where,

  • S1,S2 and S3 = sides of the prism
  • L = Length
  • B = breadth
  • H = height

here,

  • S1,S2 and S3 = 5ft, 12ft and 13ft
  • L = 19ft
  • B = 5ft
  • H = 12ft

plugging in the values,

  • TSA = (5ft + 12ft + 13ft)19ft + 5ft x 12ft
  • TSA = (30ft x 19ft) + 60ft^2
  • TSA = 570ft^2 + 60ft^2
  • TSA = 630ft^2

thus, the total surface area of the prism is 630ft^2.

Answer:

630 ft²

Explanation:

The surface area of a triangular prism where the triangular bases are right triangles is given by the formula:


\boxed{\begin{array}{l}\underline{\textsf{Surface Area of a Right Triangular Prism}}\\\\SA=ab+h(a+b+c)\\\\\textsf{where:}\\\\\phantom{ww}\bullet\;\textsf{$SA$ is the total surface area.}\\\phantom{ww}\bullet\;\textsf{$a$ and $b$ are the legs of the right triangular base.}\\\phantom{ww}\bullet\;\textsf{$c$ is the hypotenuse of the triangular base.}\\\phantom{ww}\bullet\;\textsf{$h$ is the height of the prism.}\\\end{array}}

In this case:

  • a = 12 ft
  • b = 5 ft
  • c = 13 ft
  • h = 19 ft

Substitute the values into the formula and solve for SA:


SA=ab+h(a+b+c)


SA=(12)(5)+19(12+5+13)


SA=60+19(30)


SA=60+570


SA=630\; \sf ft^2

Therefore, the surface area of the given right triangular prism is 630 ft².
