Write an equation for the surface area of both triangular bases of the net.
Let the base of the triangular prism be denoted by B, the height of the prism be denoted by H, and the slant height of the triangular prism be denoted by L.
The surface area of a triangular base is given by 0.5 * B * L (since the formula for the area of a triangle is 0.5 * base * height, and in this case the height is the slant height L).
Since the triangular prism has two triangular bases, the total surface area of both bases would be 2 * 0.5 * B * L = B * L.
Therefore, the equation for the surface area of both triangular bases of the net is:
Surface Area = B * L
