INFORMATION:
We have the following figure
And we must find its surface area
STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION:
To find the surface area of the triangular prism, we can divide the figure in:
- The two triangle bases:
We have the next triangle in the two bases:
We can calculate the area of the triangle
[tex]A=\frac{16\times9}{2}=72m^2[/tex]
Since we have the same triangle in the two bases, the total area of the two triangles would be
[tex]72m^2\cdot2=144m^2[/tex]
