The side lengths of the base of a triangular prism are 5 meters, 8 meters, and 10 meters
The height of the prism is 16.5 meters.
What is the lateral surface area of the prism in square meters?

The lateral surface area of the triangular prism is

Explanation:

The side lengths of the base of the triangular prism are 5 meters, 8 meters, and 10 meters.

It is given that the height of the prism is 16.5 meters.

To determine the lateral surface area of the prism, let us use the formula

where a, b,c are the side lengths of the base of the triangular prism and h is the height of the prism.

Here and

Substituting these values in the formula, we have,

Simplifying, we get,

Multiplying, we get,

Thus, the lateral surface area of the triangular prism is

answer: all the values are within because it has a pattern that repeats from -6 to 4.

good luck!

the answer is b.)
