Is this right? Challenge Solution: SA = (b x h) + (a x l) + (b x l) + (c x l) SA = (6cm X 5cm) + (7cm X 5cm) + (6cm X 12cm) + (6cm X 12cm) 6cm 6cm 5cm 12 cm 7cm Is this right?

Your Turn……… Given: a = 7cm b = 8cm c = 11cm height = 7.5cm length = 9cm Required: Surface Area of Triangular Prism Analysis: SA = (b x h) + (a x l) + (b x l) + (c x l) Solution: SA = (8cm x 7.5cm) + (7cm x 8cm) + (8cm x 9cm) + (11cm x 9cm) = Paraphrase: Therefore the Surface Area of this Triangular Prism is 277 cm³ Your Turn……… 9 cm 7 cm 7.5 cm 11 cm 8 cm
