Surface Area of Triangular Prisms

Front

What is the formula for the surface area of a triangular prism?

Back

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

Front

How many edges does a triangular prism have?

Back

A triangular prism has 9 edges.

Front

What is the shape of the base of a triangular prism?

Back

The base of a triangular prism is a triangle.

Front

How many vertices does a triangular prism have?

Back

A triangular prism has 6 vertices.

Front

What is the total surface area of a triangular prism with a base area of 50 cm², a height of 10 cm, and a perimeter of 30 cm?

Back

Total Surface Area = (50 cm² x 2) + (30 cm x 10 cm) = 100 cm² + 300 cm² = 400 cm².

Front

What is the difference between a triangular prism and a triangular pyramid?

Back

A triangular prism has two triangular bases and three rectangular faces, while a triangular pyramid has one triangular base and three triangular faces.

Front

If the height of a triangular prism is doubled, what happens to the surface area?

Back

The surface area increases, as it is directly proportional to the height.

Front

What is the lateral surface area of a triangular prism?

Back

Lateral Surface Area = Perimeter of Base x Height.

Front

How do you find the base area of a triangular prism?

Back

Base Area = 1/2 x base x height of the triangle.

Front

What is the relationship between the height of the prism and the surface area?

Back

The height affects the lateral surface area and overall surface area of the prism.
