what are some formulas for the surface area for a triangle prism

Question

anonymous · Answer

The prism is made up of two triangular and three rectangular sides,
find the area of each side and add them up


Surface = 2b + Ph (b is the area of the base P is the perimeter of the base)
OR 
Surface Area= 1/2(B x h)(2) + (s1+s2+s3)h 
OR 
Surface Area= (B x h) + (s1+s2+s3)h 

B= Base. 
H= Height. 
s1, s2, s3= Basically the perimeter of the base. 

Remember: the base of a triangular prism is not always on the bottom.

Hope this helps? :)
