Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a triangular prism with length 7 feet, width 4 feet, and perpendicular height of the triangular face 3 feet.
What is the total surface area of the two triangular bases of this tent?
(1 point)
The total surface area of the two triangular bases of the prism can be calculated by first finding the area of one triangular base and then multiplying it by 2.
The formula for the area of a triangle is:
Area = 1/2 * base * height
For the triangular base of the prism:
Base = 4 feet
Height = 3 feet
Area = 1/2 * 4 feet * 3 feet
Area = 6 square feet
Since there are two triangular bases, the total surface area is:
Total surface area = 2 * 6 square feet
Total surface area = 12 square feet
Therefore, the total surface area of the two triangular bases of this prism is 12 square feet.
