Find the total surface area of this triangular prism.
17 cm
8 cm
2 cm
15 cm

200cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Total surface area of the prism = bh + L(s1+s2+s3)

b is the base of the triangle = 15cm

h is the height of the triangle = 8cm

Perimeter of the triangular base = s1 + s2 + s3 = 8+17+15

Perimeter of the triangular base = 40cm

L is the lateral height = 2cm

Substitute the given values into the formula;

Total surface area of the prism = 15(8) + 2(40)

Total surface area of the prism = 120+80

Total surface area of the prism  = 200cm²

Hence the total surface area of the prism is 200cm²

the answer on e2020 was d.
