Answer:
46.95 in.²
Explanation:
Surface area of the kaleidoscope = surface area of a triangular prism = 2(BA) + P*H
Base area (B) = 2(½*bh) = 2(½*1.5*1.3) = 1.95 in.²
Perimeter of base (P) = 1.5 + 1.5 + 1.5 = 4.5 in.
Height of prism (H) = 10 in.
Plug in the values
Surface area = 1.95 + 4.5*10 = 46.95 in.²
