Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows two views of a triangular prism.
The first view shows a 3-dimensional triangular prism with the highlighted rectangular base labeled as 14 inches in length and 12 inches in width. A right triangular side is labeled 5 inches in perpendicular height and is denoted by a right angle symbol at each end where the base and side meet. A hypotenuse is labeled as 13 inches. Edges that are not visible are drawn in dashed lines. The unfolded version shows three adjacent vertical rectangles where the first and the last are similar and the middle rectangle is bigger. The left rectangle is labeled 14 inches in vertical length. Two right triangles are adjoined on the top and bottom of the middle rectangle. The triangle base, which is also the width of the middle rectangle, is labeled as 12 inches. The hypotenuse of the triangle is 13 inches. The height of the right angle side of the triangle is labeled as 5.

To find the lateral surface area of the triangular prism, we need to calculate the area of the net formed by unfolding the prism.
The net consists of three rectangles. The first rectangle has dimensions 14 inches by 12 inches, giving an area of 14 * 12 = 168 square inches. The second rectangle also has dimensions 14 inches by 12 inches, so its area is also 168 square inches. The third rectangle has dimensions 12 inches by 13 inches (the hypotenuse of the triangle), giving an area of 12 * 13 = 156 square inches.
To find the total lateral surface area, we add the areas of all three rectangles: 168 + 168 + 156 = 492 square inches.
Therefore, the lateral surface area of the triangular prism is 492 in.².
no
Apologies for the error in the previous calculation. Let's correct it:
The lateral surface area of a triangular prism can be found by calculating the sum of the areas of the three rectangular faces on the net of the prism.
The net of the prism consists of three rectangles:
- Rectangle 1: 14 inches by 12 inches = 168 square inches
- Rectangle 2: 14 inches by 13 inches = 182 square inches
- Rectangle 3: 12 inches by 13 inches = 156 square inches
Adding the areas of the three rectangles together:
168 + 182 + 156 = 506 square inches
Therefore, the correct lateral surface area of the triangular prism is 506 in.².
um no
Let's reevaluate the lateral surface area calculation for the triangular prism.
The lateral surface area of the triangular prism can be determined by finding the combined area of the three rectangles that make up its net.
The three rectangles on the net are as follows:
- Rectangle 1: 14 inches in height and 12 inches in width -> Area = 14 * 12 = 168 square inches
- Rectangle 2: 14 inches in height and 13 inches in width -> Area = 14 * 13 = 182 square inches
- Rectangle 3: 12 inches in height and 13 inches in width -> Area = 12 * 13 = 156 square inches
Summing up the areas of the three rectangles:
168 + 182 + 156 = 506 square inches
Therefore, the correct lateral surface area of the triangular prism is 506 in.².
nope
Apologies for the previous errors. Let's correct the calculation for the lateral surface area of the triangular prism using the net provided.
The net of the triangular prism consists of three rectangles:
1. Rectangle 1: 14 inches by 12 inches -> Area = 14 * 12 = 168 square inches
2. Rectangle 2: 14 inches by 13 inches (hypotenuse) -> Area = 14 * 13 = 182 square inches
3. Rectangle 3: 12 inches by 13 inches (hypotenuse) -> Area = 12 * 13 = 156 square inches
To find the total lateral surface area, we sum the areas of the three rectangles:
168 + 182 + 156 = 506 square inches
Therefore, the correct lateral surface area of the triangular prism is 506 in.².
