\n" ); document.write( "The total surface area in this case is the sum of the lateral surface area and the areas of two bases.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "1.  The base area is six times the area of one single equilateral triangle with the side length of 12 millimeters.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    The area of one such equilateral triangle is  = .\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "   (12 millimeters is the base and  is the height of such a triangle).\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "   So, the area of two bases is  millimeters squared.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "2.  The lateral area of the prism is six times the area of one (each) single lateral face, which is a rectangle \r\n" );
document.write( "    with dimensions 12 millimeters and 10 millimeters.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "3.  Having these hints you can easily complete the solution on your own.\r\n" );
