Surface Area of Triangular Prisms Definition The sum

Surface Area of Triangular Prisms

• Definition: The sum of the areas of all of the faces of a three-dimensional figure. • Ex. How much construction paper will I need to fit on the outside of the shape?

A triangular prism has 5 faces. • 2 Triangular bases • 3 rectangular sides BACK LEFT R IG FRONT BOTTOM T H

Unfolded net of a triangular prism
