So let's think about the Lateral area first
OpenStudy (shaleiah):
Alright
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Lateral Area is the area of the figure without its bases
OpenStudy (anonymous):
this figure has 1 base
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but the lateral area is consisting of the area of 2 triangle and 2 rectangles
Hint: recall the area of Triangle and rectangles then add the area you got to get the lateral area

I got 361.08
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I am sorry for this mistake. I forgot
This triangular prism has a special case
where The Lateral area of it = Perimeter of the base * height
OpenStudy (anonymous):
check it out and tell me what you got
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Have you done it ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hint perimeter of the base is the sum of triangle's sides

I got 784!!! :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well done So, let's find the surface area
OpenStudy (anonymous):
we have the L.S.A (Lateral surface area)
and the Total surface area = L.S.A + area of the bases
OpenStudy (anonymous):
since we have one base
we will find it's area and add it to the lateral surface area
OpenStudy (shaleiah):
856

how did you get it?
OpenStudy (shaleiah):
72+784
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well done, note that 72 come from the 1/2 * base * height and since we have 2 bases so 2(area of one base)
