What is the formula for finding the total surface area of a triangular prism?
Assume that a = apothem length of the triangular prism, b = base length of the triangular prism, and h = height of the triangular prism. The formulas to find the surface area is SA = ab + 3bh.
What is the surface area of one side of a triangular prism?
It depends on the size of the triangular prism, but depending on the side of the prism you use the triangle area formula to find it or the rectangle area formula to find it.
How do you find the SA of a triangular prism?
You find the area of each of the four triangular faces of the prism and add them together.
How do you you find the surface area of a equilateral triangular prism?
you calculate the area of one side, then multiply it by three.
How does the net of a triangular prism help you find the surface area of the prism?
A triangular prism has 5 sides. Three are rectangles and two are triangles. If you fold the net out flat you can get the dimensions and find the surface area. Each rectangle is length by width. And the triangles should be congruent and remember are length times height divided by two.
