Answer:

  a) 300 square units

  b) 260 square units

  c) 264 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The total surface area of a triangular prism is the sum of the areas of its 5 faces. Two of those are triangles (the bases), and three are rectangles. The area of an individual triangle is A = 1/2bh, but the area of the two of them together will be simply A = bh.

The area of the three rectangular faces is the sum of the products of the height of the prism and the edge length of each face. Then the sum of these products can be computed as the product of the height and the perimeter of the base.

These repetitive calculations are nicely done by a spreadsheet loaded with the appropriate formulas. Areas are all in "square units." (For problem 3, the units are centimeters.)

Example: (2a)

Base area = 5×12 = 60 . . . . combined area of both bases

Lateral area = (5 +12 +13)(8) = 30×8 = 240

Total surface area = 60 + 240 = 300 . . . . square units

Answer 2

Answer:

2. a. 300 units²

b. 260 units²

c. 264 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

2. a. Surface area of triangular prism = bh + (s1 + s2 + s3)*H

Where,

b = 12

h = 5

s1 = 13

s2 = 12

s3 = 5

H = 8

Plug in the values into the formula

Surface area of triangular prism = 12*5 + (13 + 12 + 5)*8

= 60 + (30)*8

= 60 + 240

Surface area = 300 units²

b. Surface area of triangular prism = bh + (s1 + s2 + s3)*H

Where,

b = 11

h = 3

s1 = 11

s2 = 5

s3 = 6.7

H = 10

Plug in the values into the formula

Surface area of triangular prism = 11*3 + (11 + 5 + 6.7)*10

= 33 + (22.7)*10

= 33 + 227

Surface area = 260 units²

c. Surface area of triangular prism = bh + (s1 + s2 + s3)*H

Where,

b = 6

h = 8

s1 = 10

s2 = 6

s3 = 8

H = 9

Plug in the values into the formula

Surface area of triangular prism = 6*8 + (10 + 6 + 8)*9

= 48 + (24)*9

= 48 + 216

Surface area = 264 units²
