If the base of a triangular prism is 5 cm and the height is 4 cm, what is the area of the base?

Back

The area of the triangular base is 10 cm² (Area = 1/2 x base x height = 1/2 x 5 cm x 4 cm).

If a triangular prism has a height of 10 cm and a base area of 20 cm², what is the total surface area?

Back

Total Surface Area = (Base Area x 2) + (Perimeter of Base x Height). If Perimeter is 12 cm, then Total Surface Area = (20 cm² x 2) + (12 cm x 10 cm) = 40 cm² + 120 cm² = 160 cm².

What is the total surface area of a triangular prism with a base area of 15 cm² and a perimeter of 18 cm, and a height of 5 cm?

Back

Total Surface Area = (15 cm² x 2) + (18 cm x 5 cm) = 30 cm² + 90 cm² = 120 cm².
