What is the surface area of a triangular prism
The surface area of a triangular prism can be calculated using the formula:
Surface Area = 2 * base area + lateral area
The base area of a triangular prism can be calculated using the formula for the area of a triangle:
base area = 0.5 * base length * height
The lateral area of a triangular prism can be calculated by finding the area of each of the three rectangular sides and adding them together:
lateral area = perimeter of base * height
Once you have calculated the base area and lateral area, you can plug those values into the surface area formula to find the total surface area of the triangular prism.
