Question

Find the surface area of the triangular prism below. The bases each have an

area of 6 cm2 and a perimeter of 12 cm, and the altitude is 4 cm.
4 cm
O A. 48 cm2
B. 24 cm?
C. 40 cm
D. 60 cm2

Answer 1

60cm²

Explanation:

Surface area of a triangular prism = 2B+ph

B is the base area = 6cm²

perimeter p = 12cm

altitude h = 4cm

Substitute

Surface area = 2(6) + 12(4)

Surface area = 12 + 48

Surface area = 60cm²
