Answer 1

Given:

The height of the triangular prism is 15 cm.

The side lengths of the base are 3 cm, 4 cm and 5 cm.

To find:

The lateral surface area of the prism.

Solution:

The lateral surface area of the prism is:

`LSA=Ph`

Where, P is the perimeter of base and h is the height of the prism.

We know that the perimeter of base is the sum of all sides of the base.

The perimeter of the prism is (3+4+5) cm and the height of the prism is 15 cm.

So, the lateral surface area of the prism is:

`LSA=(3+4+5)* 15`

`LSA=(12)* 15`

`LSA=180`

Therefore, the lateral surface area of the prism is 180 square cm.
