A shipping tube is shaped like a triangular prism. The bases are equilateral triangles with edges of 6 inches and a height of 5.2 inches. The tube is 12 inches long. Find the lateral surface area of the shipping tube.
A. 216 square inches
B. 72 square inches
C. 374.4 square inches
D. 31.2 square inches

Respuesta :

To find the lateral surface area of this triangular prism, you will find the area of the three congruent rectangles that form the lateral faces.

A = lw
6 x 12
A = 72 in.²

72 in.² x 3 (lateral faces)= 216 in.²
