Surface Area of Triangular Prisms — Easy Worksheet 2

Grade 7 · MathSheets    Name: ____________________   Date: __________

Find each surface area: 2 triangles + 3 rectangles.

How to solve

A triangular prism has 2 triangle faces and 3 rectangle faces. The two triangles together make b × h. The three rectangles are all as long as the prism, so together they are (perimeter of the triangle) × length. Base 6, height 4, slanted sides 5, length 10: 6 × 4 = 24, and (6 + 5 + 5) × 10 = 160, so SA = 184 square units.

Example

The prism is measured in meters. Each slanted side of the triangle is 5 meters. Find the surface area in square meters.

b = 8h = 3len = 3

Answer: 78

right so far
1. The prism is measured in centimeters. Each slanted side of the triangle is 10 centimeters. Find the surface area in square centimeters.
b = 12h = 8len = 6
2. The prism is measured in feet. Each slanted side of the triangle is 5 feet. Find the surface area in square feet.
b = 8h = 3len = 6
3. The prism is measured in feet. Each slanted side of the triangle is 5 feet. Find the surface area in square feet.
b = 8h = 3len = 4
4. The prism is measured in inches. Each slanted side of the triangle is 10 inches. Find the surface area in square inches.
b = 12h = 8len = 3
5. The prism is measured in meters. Each slanted side of the triangle is 5 meters. Find the surface area in square meters.
b = 8h = 3len = 8
6. The prism is measured in inches. Each slanted side of the triangle is 5 inches. Find the surface area in square inches.
b = 6h = 4len = 4
7. The prism is measured in centimeters. Each slanted side of the triangle is 5 centimeters. Find the surface area in square centimeters.
b = 8h = 3len = 7
8. The prism is measured in feet. Each slanted side of the triangle is 5 feet. Find the surface area in square feet.
b = 8h = 3len = 7
