Using the net of the prism shown, what is the surface area? (1 point) mm2
To find the surface area of the prism, we need to find the area of all its faces and then add them together.
From the net of the prism:
- The two bases are triangles with base 4 mm and height 3 mm. The area of each triangle is 1/2 * base * height = 1/2 * 4 * 3 = 6 mm^2 for each triangle, so 2 * 6 = 12 mm^2 for both bases.
- The three rectangle faces have dimensions 4 mm by 3 mm. The area of each rectangle is length * width = 4 * 3 = 12 mm^2 for each rectangle, so 3 * 12 = 36 mm^2 for all three rectangles.
Adding all these together, the surface area of the prism is 12 mm^2 (bases) + 36 mm^2 (rectangles) = 48 mm^2.
Therefore, the surface area of the prism is 48 mm^2.
