Question 247799: what is the surface area of a right triangular prism wiht a base length of 6 inches,a base height of 1 inches,and a height of 14 inches Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Insufficient evidence. You don't say anything limiting about the shape of the triangular base. The only requirement for a prism to be right triangular is that the base be some sort of triangle. It could be a right triangle with legs of 6 and 1 (largest possible perimeter, roughly 13.1), or it might be an isosceles triangle with a base of 6 and sides (smallest possible perimeter, roughly 12.3), hence the perimeter of the base can be anything in the range to
The formula for the surface area of a right prism of any shape is:
Where is the area of the base, is the perimeter of the base, and is the height of the prism.
You could say that the surface area is in the range:
