what is the surfce area of a right triangle with the measurments of 16 by 18 by 17

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A right triangle? That's a 2d shape.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do you find the surface area of a right triangle

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

im guessing you mean triangular prism

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A right triangle's surface area is just its area.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is half of an area of a paralelogram....:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you people are stupid i need the awnser not junk

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

haha you need to clarify the question, is this a 2-d figure or 3-d figure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its a right triangular prism

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

which measurements are the legs of the triangular base?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well its 16 by 18 by 17

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Given the high possibility of me gobbling you up I would say that the problem should be the least of your worries

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

so 16 by 18, then the height is 17 ? if so the volume = Area base * height

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am looking for surface area

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am looking to eat you

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

oh oops = 2*area_base + perimeter*height
