The correct answer to this question is 144 cm2. It is very easy to determine the area of a triangular prism. To do so, you would follow some simple steps. The first thing required is to add the sides of the triangle together. This step is important because it ensures you have the right data. The next step is to multiply the base of the triangle by the height, which helps you get the area. Then, you can add the values together. If you are unsure about the answer, online calculators can be used to ensure you have the right answer.

Finding the area of a triangular prism can be easy as long as you know the various things that you have to do.

These are the steps that you have to do:

* You need to add the three sides of the triangle so you just need to make sure that you have the right data.

* Multiply the base x the height so that you can get the area.

* Add the various values that are available so that you can get the right answer.

If you would like to double-check the answer, there are some online calculators that are available online wherein you can just input the data and get the answer that you are searching for. Remember to always include the appropriate unit of measurement to use.

A prism is a three-dimensional shape with two parallel bases, and the bases are triangles. There are also three lateral sides. To find the surface area of the triangular prism, you would know the measurements for the triangles at the top and the bottom and then the walls of the box of which there are three, and they are the same size.

The base of which there are two measures 4+5+6=15. Suppose the height is 9 cm so you will plug that figure in so your formula changes to L = 15 (9), L = 135 cm2. This solution is the lateral surface of the prism. Next: SA = L + 2B, SA = 135 + 2 (9.9), SA = 135 + 19.8, SA = 154.8 cm2.

You may want to know how you can solve for the surface area of a triangular prism, but you are not sure how you are going to do that. You need to remember that to solve for triangular prism; you need to know how to add the three sides. This means that you need to know the numbers for s1, s2, and s3.

Then, you will add them all together, which means that the formula is going to be s1+s2+s3 = answer. Once you have already gotten the answer, you will then multiply this with the height of the triangle. Once you are able to do these steps, you will get the value that you are searching for.
