Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Lateral surface area of the triangular prism = Perimeter of the triangular base × Height
By applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔABC,
AC² = AB² + BC²
(34)² = (16)² + BC²
BC = [tex]\sqrt{1156-256}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{900}[/tex]
= 30 in.
Perimeter of the triangular base = AB + BC + AC
= 16 + 30 + 34
= 80 in
Lateral surface area = 80 × 22
= 1760 in²
Total Surface area = Lateral surface area + 2(Surface area of the triangular base)
Surface area of the triangular base = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})(\text{Height})[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{2}(30)(16)[/tex]
= 240 in²
Total surface area = 1760 + 2(240)
= 1760 + 480
= 2240 in²
Volume = Area of the triangular base × Height
= 240 × 20
= 4800 in³
