How to calculate the surface area of a triangular prism?

Surface area is the measure of the total area that the surface of a particular object occupies.

Answer: The formula to calculate the surface area of a triangular prism is bh + l (a+b+c) square units, where 'b' is the base length of the triangle, 'h' is the height of the triangular prism, 'l' is the distance between the triangular bases and 'a', 'b', 'c' are sides of the triangle.

Let's look into the formula and the different parameters involved in calculating the surface area of a triangular prism.

Explanation:

To calculate the surface area of a triangular prism,

We will use the formula: bh + l (a+b+c) square units

where, b = base length of the triangle

h = height of the triangle

l = distance between triangular bases

a, b, c = sides of the triangle

Thus, the formula to calculate the surface area of a triangular prism is bh + l (a+b+c) square units.
