Determine the total area of the TWO bases of this triangular prism. 10in, 8in, 10in 14in 12in
To calculate the total area of the two bases of the triangular prism, we need to find the area of one base and then multiply it by 2 since there are two bases.
The formula to find the area of a triangle is: 1/2 * base * height
For the first base:
Base = 10 inches
Height = 8 inches
Area = 1/2 * 10 * 8 = 40 square inches
For the second base:
Base = 14 inches
Height = 12 inches
Area = 1/2 * 14 * 12 = 84 square inches
Total area of both bases = 40 + 84 = 124 square inches
Therefore, the total area of the two bases of the triangular prism is 124 square inches.
