Ok. So I would have to find the are for all of the faces. But what would be those mesurments?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know that the bottom area is 21cm because it tells me.

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

sorry read the question incorrectly .... we are asking for the surface area of the prism which is just the sum of the area of each side so we know that the base is 21 cm^2 so we got that now each side is identical and the base of the triangle is 20 cm and the height is 8 cm

AND each of the perimeters is 5 beause 5*4 is 20! Correct?
