What is the surface area of the net of the triangular prism
17m

15m
To find the surface area of the net of a triangular prism, we need to calculate the areas of all the surfaces and then add them up.
1. The two triangular faces:
Area = 0.5 * base * height
Area = 0.5 * 17m * 11m = 93.5m² (for each face)
2. The three rectangular faces:
Area = length * width
Area = 17m * 17m = 289m² (two faces)
Area = 11m * 16m = 176m² (one face)
Total surface area = 2(93.5m²) + 2(289m²) + 176m²
Total surface area = 187m² + 578m² + 176m²
Total surface area = 941m²
Therefore, the surface area of the net of the triangular prism is 941m².
