Answer:

Answer:

(B) Surface area of triangular prism is:

Surface area = 2376ft

Explanation:

A triangular prism is the one which has 3 rectangular sides and 2 triangular sides. To find the surface area of a triangular prism, we have to find the surface area of 3 rectangular side and 2 triangular sides and add them up

Surface Area (rectangle) = Length · Width

Surface Area (triangle) = (1/2)(Base)(Height)

Answer:

Surface area of triangular prism is:

Surface area = 2376ft

Explanation:

A triangular prism is the one which has 3 rectangular sides and 2 triangular sides. To find the surface area of a triangular prism, we have to find the surface area of 3 rectangular side and 2 triangular sides and add them up

Surface Area (rectangle) = Length · Width

Surface Area (triangle) = (1/2)(Base)(Height)

Rectangular side 1:

Length = 40 ft

Width = 24 ft

Surface Area = 40 · 24

Surface Area = 960ft

Rectangular side 2:

Length = 40 ft

Width = 15 ft

Surface Area = 40 · 15

Surface Area = 600ft

Rectangular side 3:

Length = 40 ft

Width = 15 ft

Surface Area = 40 · 15

Surface Area = 600ft

Triangular side 1:

Base = 24 ft

height = 9 ft

Surface Area = (1/2)(24)(9)

Surface Area = 108ft

Triangular side 2:

Base = 24 ft

height = 9 ft

Surface Area = (1/2)(24)(9)

Surface Area = 108ft

SURFACE AREA OF TRIANGULAR PRISM:

Add all surface areas found above

Surface area = 960 + 600 + 600 + 108 + 108

Surface area = 2376ft
