Triangular prism - regular

The regular triangular prism is 7 cm high. Its base is an equilateral triangle whose height is 3 cm. Calculate the surface and volume of this prism.

Correct answer:

V =  36.3731 cm3
S =  83.1384 cm2

Step-by-step explanation:

v=3 cm h=7 cm  a2 = v2 + (a/2)2 4a2 = 4v2 + a2 3a2 = 4v2  a=v 2/3=3 2/3=2 3 cm3.4641 cm  S1=43 a2=43 3.46412=3 3 cm25.1962 cm2  V=S1 h=5.1962 7=21 3=36.3731 cm3
