Respuesta :
The total surface area of the triangular prism that has a height of h and the side length of a is given below.
[tex]\rm a(\dfrac{\sqrt3}{2} \ a + 3h)[/tex]
What is a triangular prism?
A triangular prism is a closed solid that has two parallel triangular bases connected by a rectangle surface.
A box is in the shape of an equilateral triangular prism.
If the box is to be covered with paper on its lateral sides.
Let a be the side length of the equilateral triangle and h be the height of the prism.
Then the surface area of the triangular prism will be
Surface area = 2 × area of triangle + 3 × area of the rectangle
The area of the triangle will be
[tex]\rm Area\ of\ triangle = \dfrac{\sqrt{3}a^2}{4}[/tex]
The area of the rectangle will be
[tex]\rm Area \ of \ rectangle = a \ h[/tex]
Then the total surface area will be
[tex]\rm Surface\ area = 2 \times \dfrac{\sqrt3 a^2 }{4} + 3 ah\\\\\\Surface\ area = a(\dfrac{\sqrt3}{2} \ a + 3h)[/tex]
