This is quite simple, first, you must find the area of each shape, since the form of the prism is currently 2D.
Formula for (Area of Rectangle)= length x width
Formula for (Area of Triangle)= 1/2 base x height
Now, we have the formulas. Let’s get started!
(Identification) There are 3 rectangles and 2 triangles. 2 rectangles are of the same size and 2 triangles are of the same size.
Triangles~ the base is 6 and the height is 4.
1/2 (6 x 4) = 12
However, there’s two triangles. (of the same size)
12 x 2 = 24
Rectangles 1 and 2~ the length is 5 and the width is 7
5 x 7 = 35
However, there’s two rectangles. (of the same size)
35 x 2 = 70
Rectangle 3~ the length is 6 and the width is 7
6 x 7 = 42
There’s only one of these.
Now we add all the areas of the shapes together!
24 + 70 + 42 = 136
The surface area is 136.
