Answer 1

630 square meters.

Explanation:

Given:

A triangular prism has an equilateral triangle base whose sides are 6 meters. The height of the prism is 35 meters, and the height of the base is 5.2 meters.

Question asked:

What is the lateral surface area of the prism?

Solution:

As we know:

`Lateral\ surface\ area\ of\ the\ prism=Perimeter\ of\ the\ base* height\ of\ the\ prism`

Perimeter of the equilateral triangle base = 6 + 6 + 6 = 18 meters

The height of the prism = 35 meters

Lateral surface area of the prism = 18
`*` 35 = 630 square meters.

Thus, lateral surface area of the prism is 630 square meters.
