Question

it gives me a right triangular prism with the height of 24 length of 48 width of 17 and a hypotenuse of 29.4. Find the surface area.

Answer 1

I will give you the formula:

Surface Area: \[bh + H(s_1 +s_2 +s_3)\]
where \[b\] is the length of the base, \[h\] is the height of the triangle, \[H\] is the prism height and \[s_1, s_2, s_3 \] are the sides of the triangle.

A diagram of your problem will help.
