Question

Find the surface area of the triangular prism. The base of the

prism is an isosceles triangle.
45 cm, 37cm, 35cm, 24cm

Answer 1

The surface area of the triangular prism is 5250 square cm

Calculating the surface area of the triangular prism.

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

The Triangular Prism.

The total area of the Triangular Prism is the sum of the individual shapes

So, we have

Surface area = 2 * triangle area + area of big rectangle

Using the above as a guide, we have the following:

Surface area = 2 * 1/2 * 35 * 24 + (37 + 37 + 24) * 45

Evaluate

Surface area = 5250

Hence. the total area of the figure is 5250 square cm

Answer 2

5,250 cm²

Explanation:

Surface area of triangular prism = bh + (s1 + s2 + s3)L

Where ,

b = 24 cm

h = 35 cm

s1 = 37 cm

s2 = 37 cm

s3 = 24 cm

L = 45 cm

Plug in the values

Surface area = 24*35 + (37 + 37 + 24)45

= 840 + 4,410

= 5,250 cm²
