A triangular prisim sides are 8cm 6cm 10cm and 9cm
What's the surface area of the triangular prisim
To calculate the surface area of a triangular prism, you need to calculate the areas of the triangular bases and the three rectangular sides, and then add them together.
First, determine the area of one of the triangular bases:
The formula for the area of a triangle is given by A = 1/2 * base * height. Since this triangle is isosceles, the base and height can be found by creating a right triangle with one of the sides as the hypotenuse. Using the Pythagorean theorem, you can determine that the height is 4 cm and the base is 6 cm. Therefore, the area of one triangular base is:
A = 1/2 * 6 * 4 = 12 square cm.
Next, determine the area of the other triangular base. Since the sides are 8, 10, and 9 cm, we can use Heron's formula to calculate the area of the base. First, calculate the semi-perimeter:
s = (8 + 10 + 9) / 2 = 13.5 cm.
Now calculate the area using Heron's formula:
A = √[13.5(13.5-8)(13.5-10)(13.5-9)] = √[13.5*5.5*3.5*4.5] = √842.0625 = 29 cm^2.
Next, calculate the area of each of the rectangular sides. There are three sides on a triangular prism. Two of them will have the same area since they are adjacent to the 6 cm and 10 cm sides of the triangular base. The area of these two sides is:
A = 6 * 8 = 48 square cm.
The third rectangular side is adjacent to the 8 cm and 9 cm sides of the triangular base. The area of this side is:
A = 8 * 9 = 72 square cm.
Add the areas of the triangular bases and the three rectangular sides to get the total surface area:
Total surface area = 2(12 + 29) + 48 + 72 = 94 + 48 + 72 = 214 square cm.
Therefore, the surface area of the triangular prism is 214 square cm.
Wrong
Apologies for the mistake. Let's recalculate the surface area of the triangular prism with sides 8 cm, 6 cm, 10 cm, and 9 cm.
To calculate the surface area of a triangular prism, we need to find the areas of the two triangular bases and the three rectangular sides and then sum them up.
1. Calculate the area of one triangular base:
Since the triangle is isosceles with sides 6 cm, 8 cm, and 10 cm, we can use Heron's formula to find the area.
Calculate the semi-perimeter:
s = (6 + 8 + 10) / 2 = 12 cm
Calculate the area using Heron's formula:
A = √(12*6*4*2) = √(576) = 24 square cm
2. Calculate the area of the other triangular base:
Since the sides are 8 cm, 9 cm, and 11 cm, we can calculate the area using Heron's formula again.
Calculate the semi-perimeter:
s = (8 + 9 + 11) / 2 = 14 cm
Calculate the area using Heron's formula:
A = √(14*6*5*3) = √(1260) = 35.5 square cm
3. Calculate the area of the three rectangular sides:
There are three rectangular sides:
- Side adjacent to 8 cm and 9 cm sides: 8 * 9 = 72 square cm
- Two sides adjacent to 6 cm and 10 cm sides: 6 * 10 = 60 square cm each
4. Sum up the areas:
Total surface area = 2 * (24 + 35.5) + 72 + 60 + 60 = 117 + 72 + 60 = 249 square cm
Therefore, the correct surface area of the triangular prism is 249 square cm. Thank you for pointing out the error, and I apologize for any confusion it caused.
And bot is wrong again
I apologize for the repeated errors in my previous responses. Let's correct the calculation of the surface area of the triangular prism with sides 8 cm, 6 cm, 10 cm, and 9 cm.

Calculate the area using Heron's formula:
A = √(13.5*5.5*4.5*3.5) = √(423.1875) = 20.57 square cm
3. Calculate the area of the three rectangular sides:
There are three rectangular sides:
- Side adjacent to 8 cm and 9 cm sides: 8 * 9 = 72 square cm
- Two sides adjacent to 6 cm and 10 cm sides: 6 * 10 = 60 square cm each
4. Sum up the areas:
Total surface area = 2 * (24 + 20.57) + 72 + 60 + 60 = 89.14 + 72 + 60 = 221.14 square cm
Therefore, the correct surface area of the triangular prism is 221.14 square cm. Thank you for your patience, and I apologize for the previous errors.
