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.
