 \nWatch This Video:  \nSurface Area of Triangular Prisms  \nBell Ringer:  \n(Answer Key)  \nArea of one square face:  \n[6 x 6 = 36 sq. cm](6 x 6 = 36 sq. cm)  \nArea of all faces:  \n[36 x 6 = 216 sq. cm](36 x 6 = 216 sq. cm)  \nArea of first rectangular face:  \n[5 x 7 = 35 sq. cm](5 x 7 = 35 sq. cm)  \nArea of second rectangular face:  \n10 x 7 = 70 [sq. cm](sq. cm)  \nArea of third rectangular face:  \n5 x 10 = 50 [sq. cm](sq. cm)  \nArea of all faces:  \n(35 + 70 + 50) x 2 = 310  \nYou multiply the sum by 2, because each face is congruent with the opposite face.  \nLearn:  \nThe triangular prism shown has three rectangular faces. Its bases are congruent isosceles triangles. Find the surface area of the triangular prism.  \nThis is the net of the triangular prism. The surface area of a triangular prism is its net.  \nTo find the total surface area, first find the area of the all of the faces.  \n11 x 5 = 55 ; there are two of these so 55 x 2 = 110  \n11 x 6 = 66 ; there is only one of these so 66  \n½ (6 x 4) = 12 ; there are two of these so 12 x 2 = 24  \nThen add the three products to find the total surface area.  \n110 + 66 + 24 = 200 [sq. cm](sq. cm)  \nPractice:  \nThe triangular prism shown has three rectangular faces. Its bases are congruent right triangles. Find the  \nsurface area of the the triangular  \nprism.  \nTo find the total surface area, first find the area of the all of the faces.  \nThen add the products together to find the total surface area.  \nA triangular prism with its measurements is shown. Find the surface area of the prism.  \nPractice: (Answer Key)  \nThe triangular prism shown has three rectangular faces. Its bases are congruent right triangles. Find the  \nsurface area of the the triangular  \nprism.  \nTo find the total surface area, first find the area of the all of the faces.  \n5 x 9 = 45  \n13 x 9 = 117  \n12 x 9 = 108  \n½ (5 x 12) = 30 x 2 = 60  \nThen add the products together to find the total surface area.  \n45 + 117 + 108 + [60 = 330 sq. cm](60 = 330 sq. cm)  \nA triangular prism with its measurements is shown. Find the surface area of the prism.  \nTo find the total surface area, first find the area of the two triangles and the three rectangles.  \n½ (10 x 12) = 60; there are two of these so 60 x 2x = 120  \n15 x 13 = 195; there are two of these so 195 x 2 = 390  \n10 x 15 = 150  \nThen add the products together to find the total surface area.  \n120 + 390 + [150 = 660 sq. cm](150 = 660 sq. cm)  \nLearn:  \nThis pyramid has a square base measuring 10 inches on each side. It has four faces that are congruent isosceles triangles. The height of each triangle is 12 inches. Find the surface area.  \nThis is the net of the square pyramid. The surface area of a square pyramid is its net.  \nTo find the total surface area, first find the area of the all of the faces.  \nThe area of the square base: 10 x 10 = 100  \nThe area of the triangle: ½ (10 x 12) = 60 ; there are four of these so 60 x 4 = 240  \nThen add the area of the faces together to find the total surface area.  \n100 + 240 = 340 [sq. in](sq. in)  \nPractice:  \nAlicia makes a pyramid that has an equilateral triangle as its base. The other three faces are congruent isosceles triangles. She measures the lengths shown on the net of her pyramid. Find the surface area of the pyramid.  \nTo find the total surface area, first find the area of the all of the faces.  \nThen add the products together to find the total surface area.  \nThe pyramid has square base measuring 20 inches on each side. It has four faces that are congruent isosceles triangles. The height of each triangle is 12 inches.
