Question

What is the surface area of the triangular prism?

A triangular prism. The rectangular sides are 24 feet by 40 feet, 40 feet by 15 feet, and 40 feet by 15 feet. The triangular sides have a base of 24 feet and height of 9 feet.
2,001 square feet
2,376 square feet
2,592 square feet
4,320 square feet

Answer 1

The surface area of the triangular prism is 2376 square ft option second is correct.

What is a triangular prism?

When a triangle is, stretch it out to produce a stack of triangles, one on top of the other. A triangular prism is a name given to this novel 3D object.

The question is incomplete.

The complete question is in the picture, please refer to the attached picture.

As we know,

The surface area (rectangle) = Length×Width

$\rm Surface \ Area (triangle) = \dfrac{1}{2}Base\times Height$

Rectangular side 1:

Length = 40 ft

Width = 24 ft

Surface Area = 40×24 = 960 squre ft

Rectangular side 2:

Length = 40 ft

Width = 15 ft

Surface Area = 40×15 = 600 square ft

Rectangular side 3:

Length = 40 ft

Width = 15 ft

Surface Area = 40×15 = 600 square ft

Triangular side 1:

Base = 24 ft

Height = 9 ft

Surface Area = (1/2)(24)(9) = 108 square ft

Triangular side 2:

Base = 24 ft

Height = 9 ft

Surface Area = (1/2)(24)(9) = 108 square ft

Adding all surface areas to find the surface area of the triangular prism:

=  960 + 600 + 600 + 108 + 108

Surface area = 2376 square ft

Thus, the surface area of the triangular prism is 2376 square ft option second is correct.
