What is the surface area of the triangular prism shown?

In a test rn!! A right triangular prism. The height of the prism is 25 centimeters. The sides of the triangular ends have lengths 9 centimeters, 12 centimeters, and 15 centimeters.
86 cm2
1,008 cm2
1,350 cm2
1,080 cm2

Respuesta :

The surface area will be equal to option B which is 1008 square centimeters.

What is surface area?

The space occupied by any two-dimensional figure in a plane is called the area. The area of the outer surface of any body is called the surface area.

The surface area of the prism will be calculated as:-

SA = area of the three rectangular faces + area of the triangular faces

Area of the rectangular faces = ( 15 X 25 ) + ( 25 X 12 ) + ( 25 X 9 )

                                                 = 375 + 300 + 225

                                                 = 900 square cm

Area of the triangular  [tex]=\sqrt{(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)[/tex]

                                     = [tex]\sqrt{(18(18-15)(18-12)(18-9)}[/tex]

                                     = √2916

                                     = 64

Total area of the rectangular face = 2 x 54 = 108

So the total SA area of the prism will be = 900 + 108= 1008 square cm.

Therefore surface area will be equal to option B which is 1008 square centimeters.
