Question

Find the surface area of the triangular prism. A triangular prism. The base is a right triangle with base 1 foot, height 2 feet and third side 2 point 2 feet. The height of the prism is 3 feet.

Answer 1

69 ft^2

Explanation:

Answer 2

17.6ft²

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the surface area of a triangular prism is expressed as shown below:

SA= bh + pH

b= base of the triangle

h- height of the triangle

p= perimeter of the triangle

H= height of the prism

Given b = 1foot

h = 2feet

perimeter of the triangle = sum of all its sides = 1ft + 2ft + 2.2ft

p = 5.2ft

H = 3ft

Substituting the values into the formula for finding the surface area:

SA = 1(2)+5.2(3)

SA = 2+15.6

SA = 17.6ft²

The surface area of the triangular prism is 17.6ft²
