Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a net version of a triangular prism. The net model shows 3 rectangles top to bottom. Identical triangles are attached to the left and right of the middle rectangle. Parts are labeled with measurements. The top and bottom rectangles have a length measuring 10 centimeters and a width measuring 5 centimeters. The perpendicular height from the top vertex of the triangle to the base measures 4 centimeters. The base of the triangle measures 5 centimeters. The base shares an edge with the middle rectangle.
What is the surface area of the net of the triangular prism?
(1 point)
square centimeters
The surface area of the net of the triangular prism can be calculated by summing the areas of all the individual shapes.
The top and bottom rectangles have a surface area of 10 cm x 5 cm = 50 square cm each, for a total of 100 square cm.
The middle rectangle, which forms the lateral faces of the prism, has a surface area of 10 cm x 4 cm = 40 square cm.
Each triangular face has a surface area of 1/2 x base x height = 1/2 x 5 cm x 4 cm = 10 square cm, with a total of 20 square cm for both triangles.
Adding all these together, the surface area of the net of the triangular prism is 100 cm² + 40 cm² + 20 cm² = 160 cm².
Therefore, the surface area of the net of the triangular prism is 160 square centimeters.
