To find the surface area of the triangular prism, we need to find the area of each face and then add them up.
1. The front triangular face has a base of 16 meters and a height of 15 meters.
Area = 0.5 * base * height
Area = 0.5 * 16 * 15
Area = 120 square meters
2. The two triangular side faces are the same as the front triangular face, so we have 2 * 120 = 240 square meters.
3. The two rectangular faces are the same and each has a width of 11 meters and a height of 17 meters.
Area = width * height
Area = 11 * 17
Area = 187 square meters
4. The total surface area of the net of the triangular prism is the sum of all faces:
120 (front triangular face) + 240 (two triangular side faces) + 187 (two rectangular faces) = 547 square meters
Therefore, the surface area of the net of the triangular prism is 547 square meters.
