Triangular prism

Calculate the volume and surface area of a triangular prism if it is given:
a = 6.8 dm. ..Va = 4 dm. (base edge length and base triangle height length) ... ... .v = 23 dm (body height)

Correct answer:

V =  312.8 dm³
S =  496.4 dm²

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} a=6.8\text{dm} \\ {v}_1=4\text{dm} \\ {v}_2=23\text{dm} \\ {S}_1=a\cdot v_1/2=6.8\cdot 4/2=\frac{68}{5}=13.6{\text{dm}}^2 \\ V=S_1\cdot v_2=13.6\cdot 23=312.8{\text{dm}}^3 \end{gathered}$$

$$\begin{gathered} S_2=(a+a+a)\cdot v_2=(6.8+6.8+6.8)\cdot 23=\frac{2346}{5}=469.2{\text{dm}}^2 \\ S=2\cdot S_1+S_2=2\cdot 13.6+469.2=496.4{\text{dm}}^2 \end{gathered}$$
