Bot GPT 3.5 To calculate the surface area of a triangular prism, you would use the following formula:
Surface Area = 2*((base area) + (side area))
Where:
- Base area = area of the triangular base, which can be calculated using the formula for the area of a triangle: 0.5 * base * height
- Side area = sum of the three rectangular sides of the prism, which can be calculated by finding the perimeter of the base triangle and multiplying it by the height of the prism.
So, the complete formula would be:
Surface Area = 2*(0.5 * base * height + perimeter of base triangle * height)
