What is the formula of a triangular prism?
What is the formula for a triangular prism
How is finding the surface of a rectangular pyramid different from finding the surface area of a triangular prism?
A rectangular pyramid you use 1/3 or divide 3 in the product but a triangular prism you use 1/2 or divide 2 on the product.
Formula for surface area of a triangular 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.
Why is the formula for finding the surface area of a rectangular prism helpful?
its not i dont no why
How do you measure the surface of a triangular prism?
When you say surface of a prism this means the total amount of space on the outside of the prism. You have specified it to be a triangular prism, but taking the surface area of all prisms is the same process for all prisms. When finding the surface area of a prism you always use this equation... S.A. = (2 x Area of Prism Base) + (Height x Perimeter of Prism Base) In a triangular prism the base would be a triangle. Therefore to find the area you have to do 0.5 x base of the triangle x height of the triangle. For the perimeter of the triangle just add the length of all the sides together. The height indicated in your S.A. = ... formula... is how tall the prism actually stands. So since this prism is a triangular prism take the general surface area equation and put the correct triangular measurements into the general equation and you have this... S.A. = [2 x 0.5 x (height) x (base)] + [Height x perimeter] Here is the formula in word form. The surface area of a triangular prism is equal to two multiplied by one half multiplied by the height of the traingular height multiplied by the triangular base compute this number and then add it to the product of the height of the prism times the perimeter of the triangular base.
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 c in the formula for finding surface area of trapezoidal prism?
You must be thinking of a triangular prism. In that case, c is the length of the third side of the triangle at the end of the prism.

What is the formula for a triangular prism
What is the formula for finding the base area of a triangular prism?
It depends on what information you have.
The formula for finding the volume of a triangular prism?
A triangular prism can be thought of as a stack of triangles. Then the volume is equal to the area of the triangular base multiplied by the height of the prism, or 1/2 length * width * height.
How is finding the surface of a rectangular pyramid different from finding the surface area of a triangular prism?
A rectangular pyramid you use 1/3 or divide 3 in the product but a triangular prism you use 1/2 or divide 2 on the product.
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.
Why does the formula for finding the surface area of a rectangular prism is helpful?
There must be a typo in this question, "Why does the formula for finding the surface area of arectangular prism is helpful?" What does that even mean?
What is the formula of surface area of the prism triangular?
2*area of triangular base + perimeter of triangle*length of prism.
Is the formula for finding area of a triangular prism base times height divided by 2?
yes.
What is the surface area of a triangular prism formula?
Whatever the net, the answer is the same area as that of the net.
