Surface area of triangular prisms and pyramids
The nets for a triangular prism and a square pyramid
How to draw a triangular prism
Surface area of a triangular prism SA= Ph + 2B = (7+7+5) •12 +2 ( •5•10) 1 2 7m = 19 •12 + 2 •25 10m = 228 + 50 7m = 278 m² 12m 5m P = perimeter of the base (the triangle) h = the height of the prism B = area of the base
How to draw a pyramid
Surface area of a square pyramid 1 2 8 SA = B + Pl 1 2 (5 +5 +5 +5) •8 = (5 • 5) + 5 1 2 = (25) + (20) •8 1 2 = (25) + (160) 5 = 25 + 80 B = area of the base = 105 ft2 P = perimeter of the base l = length of the triangular face
