Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To calculate the surface area of a triangular prism, you need to find the individual areas of each of the faces of the prism and then add them together.

The total surface area of a triangular prism can be calculated using the formula:

Surface Area = 2(base area) + (perimeter of base × height)

To find the base area of the triangular prism, you can use the formula for the area of a triangle:

Base Area = (1/2) × base × height

Add the base area to the total lateral surface area of the prism which is calculated as:

Lateral Surface Area = (perimeter of base × height)

Once you find the areas of each face, add them together to get the total surface area of the triangular prism.
