Answer:
144 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
So, first find the area of the triangle. To find that you need to use the formula A = bh ÷ 2 (Area = base x height ÷ 2)
A = (4)(3) ÷ 2
A of triangle = 6
Since there are 2 triangles, you need to multiply the area by 2, which equals 12.
To find the area of the rectangles, you need to use the formula A = lw (Area = length x width)
For the first rectangle,
A = 11 x 5
A = 55
For the second rectangle,
A = 4 x 11
A = 44
For the third rectangle,
A = 3 x 11
A = 33
Now, you need to add the areas of the triangles and rectangles together to get your surface area.
12 + 55 + 44 + 33 = 144cm^2
So, the surface area of the triangular prism is 144 cm^2.
