Question

Find the lateral surface area of the following prism: 5 cm 4 cm 5 cm 8 cm 6 cm LSA = [?] cm2 Enter​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I was using 6×8 rectangle as a base of the triangular prism (as shows on the picture.

Let use the definition of a triangular prism and LSA = (5 + 5 + 6) × 8 = 128 cm²

Answer 2

The lateral surface area of the triangular prism is 128 square cm.

What is triangular prism?

A triangular Prism is a pentahedron. It is a 3-D shape with two identical faces in the shape of a triangle connected by three rectangular faces. The edges and vertices of the bases are joined with each other via three rectangular sides.

For the given situation,

The sides of the triangle are 5 cm, 6 cm, 5 cm.

The length of the prism = 8 cm

The formula for lateral surface area of triangular prism is

$LSA=(perimeter)(length)$

On substituting the above values,

⇒ $LSA=(5+6+5)(8)$

⇒ $LSA=(16)(8)$

⇒ $LSA=128$

Hence we can conclude that the lateral surface area of the triangular prism is 128 square cm.
