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

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

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

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Great well done
