Surface Area - Triangular Prism

Front

What is a triangular prism?

Back

A three-dimensional shape with two triangular bases and three rectangular faces.

Front

How do you calculate the surface area of a triangular prism?

Back

Surface Area = (Base Area x 2) + (Perimeter of Base x Height)

Front

What is the formula for the area of a triangle?

Back

Area = 1/2 x base x height.

Front

What is the difference between surface area and volume?

Back

Surface area measures the total area of the surface of a three-dimensional object, while volume measures the amount of space inside it.

Front

What units are used to measure surface area?

Back

Square units (e.g., square meters, square feet).

Front

What is the perimeter of a triangle?

Back

The sum of the lengths of all three sides of the triangle.

Front

If the base of a triangular prism is 5 cm and the height is 10 cm, what is the area of the base?

Back

Area = 1/2 x 5 cm x 10 cm = 25 cm².

Front

What is the height of a triangular prism?

Back

The perpendicular distance between the two triangular bases.

Front

How do you find the total surface area of a triangular prism with a base area of 30 cm², a height of 12 cm, and a perimeter of 20 cm?

Back

Total Surface Area = (30 cm² x 2) + (20 cm x 12 cm) = 60 cm² + 240 cm² = 300 cm².

Front

What is a net of a triangular prism?

Back

A two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional shape that shows all its faces laid out flat.
