Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:The product of the perimeter of the triangle and the height of the prismStep-by-step explanation:The options of the question areThe product of the perimeter of the triangle and the height of the prismThe product of the perimeter of the side times the height of the triangleThe product of the perimeter of the triangle and the height of the triangleThe product of the perimeter of the side times the height of the prismwe know thatThe surface area of a triangular prism is[tex]SA=2B+Ph[/tex]whereB is the area of the triangular baseP is the perimeter of the triangular baseh is the height of the triangular prismThe term 2B represent the area of the top and the bottom of the triangular prismThe term Ph represent the lateral area of the triangular prism (The product of the perimeter of the triangle and the height of the prism)
