Step-by-step solution
5 stepsIdentify the dimensions of the triangular prism.
The prism has a right-angled triangular base.
The base of the triangle is .
The height of the triangle is .
The length of the prism (depth) is .Calculate the area of the two triangular bases.
The area of one triangular base is .
Since there are two triangular bases (front and back), their combined area is:
Calculate the length of the hypotenuse of the triangular base.
Let the hypotenuse be . Using the Pythagorean theorem:
Calculate the area of the three rectangular faces.
- The bottom rectangular face has dimensions .
- The vertical side rectangular face has dimensions .
- The slanted top rectangular face has dimensions .
Calculate the total surface area.
The total surface area () is the sum of the areas of the two triangles and the three rectangular faces.
To get a numerical value, we approximate :
The total surface area is .
