The lateral area of a triangular prism is found by computing the perimeter of the triangular base (sum of the three sides) and multiplying it by the height of the prism. If the triangular base has sides of length s1, s2, and s3, and the height of the prism is h, then each lateral face of the prism would be a rectangle. The area of one face of the prism would be (s1 x h), the area of the second face of the prism would be (s2 x h), and the area of the third face of the prism would be (s3 x h). So the three lateral faces would have a total area of (s1 x h) + (s2 x h) + (s3 x h), or equivalently (s1 + s2 + s3) x h; i.e., (the perimeter of the triangular base) x (the height of the prism).
A triangular prism is a three-sided prism with three faces joining corresponding sides. The formula for its surface area is SA = wh + lw + lh + ls, where l=length, h=height, w=width and s=side.
Volume of a triangular prism = cross-section area times length
The lateral area of a prism is the sum of the areas of all the lateral faces. A lateral face is not a base. The surface area is the total area of all faces.Lateral Area: The lateral area of a right prism with base perimeter P and height h is L=Ph.Surface Area: The surface area of a right prism with lateral area L and base area is B is S = L + 2B, or S = Ph + 2B.
triangular prism- formula: Abh(area of the base * height)
I know the surface area. 2B+ lateral (Ph)
i have no freaking idea
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.
The lateral area [L] of a right prism with base perimeter [P] and height [h] is L=Ph.
Find the area of a triangular section, 1/2bh, and then multiply by the length of the prism.
The formula is Bxh where B is the base which is the area of the triangle and h is the height of the prism.
The lateral area of a prism is the sum of the area of the lateral faces
The lateral area of a triangular prism is found by computing the perimeter of the triangular base (sum of the three sides) and multiplying it by the height of the prism. If the triangular base has sides of length s1, s2, and s3, and the height of the prism is h, then each lateral face of the prism would be a rectangle. The area of one face of the prism would be (s1 x h), the area of the second face of the prism would be (s2 x h), and the area of the third face of the prism would be (s3 x h). So the three lateral faces would have a total area of (s1 x h) + (s2 x h) + (s3 x h), or equivalently (s1 + s2 + s3) x h; i.e., (the perimeter of the triangular base) x (the height of the 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.
2*area of triangular base + perimeter of triangle*length of prism.
The cross sectional area of a triangular prism is simply the area of the base. The formula for the area of a triangle in one half base times height. Remember that a triangular prism by definition has a triangle for a base.
