Question

Help me find the surface area of the triangular prism

Answer 1

The surface area of the triangular prism is
`420\ m^(2)`

Explanation:

we know that

The surface area of the triangular prism is equal to

`SA=2B+PL`

where

B is the area of the triangular base

P is the perimeter of the triangular base

L is the length of the triangular prism

Find the area of the base B

`B=(1)/(2)(16)(6)=48\ m^(2)`

Find the perimeter of the base P

`P=16+10+10=36\ m`

we have

`L=9\ m`

substitute the values

`SA=2(48)+(36)*9=420\ m^(2)`
