Question

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

Answer 1

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? :)
