Characteristics of a Triangular Prism:

Teacher Example: STAAR Formula

Steps:

1.)

Write the formula.

2.)

Plug the numbers into
the formula.

3.)

Solve.

Teacher Example: STAAR Formula

Total Surface Area:

S = Ph + 2B
S = (15)(14) + 2(10.75)
S = 210 + 21.5
S = 231.5 m²

P is the perimeter
of the base
(distance around
the triangle)

P = 5 + 5 + 5 = 15

h is the heightof the
prism, or the distance
between the 2 bases.

B is the area of the base (triangle).
B = ½bh
B = ½(5)(4.3)
B = 10.75
