Your dimensions don't make sense.
I can see how the base could be an equilateral triangle of
3 by 3 by 3. All we need is the height.
Why are there two more units, namely 2.6 in and 7 in ?
thank you ms. sue!
reiny im talking a triangular prism not equilateral triangle!!
His response shows that he knows that.
Where did you get five measurements?
Find the surface area for the triangular prism
base1 is 14
width is 32
heght1 is 25
height 2 is 24
The line in between the Height is 25.
To calculate the surface area of a triangular prism, you need to find the areas of each of its faces and add them together.
A triangular prism consists of three rectangular faces and two triangular faces. The formula for the surface area of a triangular prism is:
Surface Area = (2 × base area of the triangular face) + (perimeter of the base × height) + (2 × area of the rectangular face)
To find the surface area, follow these steps:
1. Measure the base of one of the triangular faces (b).
2. Measure the height of the triangular face (h1).
3. Calculate the area of one of the triangular faces using the formula:
Area of triangular face = (1/2) × base × height
4. Double the area you obtained in step 3 since there are two triangular faces with the same area.
Total triangular face area = 2 × Area of triangular face
5. Measure the length, width, and height of one of the rectangular faces (l, w, h2).
6. Calculate the area of one of the rectangular faces using the formula:
Area of rectangular face = length × width
7. Double the area you obtained in step 6 since there are two rectangular faces with the same area.
Total rectangular face area = 2 × Area of rectangular face
8. Calculate the perimeter of the triangular base using the formula:
Perimeter of triangular base = (sum of the lengths of the three sides of the triangle)
9. Multiply the perimeter of the base by the height of the prism (h2).
Perimeter of base × height
10. Add the amounts calculated in steps 4, 7, and 9 to obtain the total surface area of the triangular prism.
By following these steps, you can find the surface area of the triangular prism.
