What is the surface area of the triangular prism? (1 point) measurements 8 6 9 10
The surface area of a triangular prism can be calculated by adding up the areas of all the surfaces.
The triangular faces of the prism have a base of 9 and height of 8, so their area is 1/2 * base * height = 1/2 * 9 * 8 = 36 square units each. There are two triangular faces on the prism, so the total area of the triangular faces is 2 * 36 = 72 square units.
The rectangular faces of the prism have dimensions of 6 by 9 and 8 by 9, so their areas are 6 * 9 = 54 square units and 8 * 9 = 72 square units respectively. There are two rectangular faces on the prism, so the total area of the rectangular faces is 2 * (54 + 72) = 252 square units.
Adding up the areas of all the faces, the total surface area of the triangular prism is: 72 + 252 = 324 square units.
