What is the total surface area represented by a net of a triangular prism your answer should have two decimal places we've got 9 cm 17 cm 9 cm 17 cm 7.8 CM 17 cm and 9 cm
The total surface area of a triangular prism can be calculated by finding the area of each face and adding them together.
The net of the triangular prism consists of two triangles (base and top) and three rectangles (sides).
Area of two triangles = 2 * ((1/2) * base * height)
Area of three rectangles = 2 * (length * width) + (base * height)
Area of base triangle = (1/2) * 9 * 17 = 76.5 cm²
Area of top triangle = (1/2) * 7.8 * 17 = 66.6 cm²
Area of three rectangles = 2 * (9 * 7.8 + 17 * 7.8 + 17 * 9) = 311.4 cm²
Total surface area = 76.5 + 66.6 + 311.4 = 454.5 cm²
Therefore, the total surface area represented by the net of the triangular prism is 454.5 cm².
