Answer:
68.8 sq. inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangular surfaces have sides 2 in by 3 in by 4 in.
So, half perimeter, s = [tex]\frac{2 + 3 + 4}{2} = 4.5[/tex]
So, the area of the triangular face is [tex]\sqrt{s(s - 4)(s - 2)(s - 3)} = \sqrt{4.5 \times 0.5 \times 2.5 \times 1.5} = 2.9[/tex] sq. inches.
Now, the total surface area of the right triangular prism will be (2.9 × 2) + 7(2 + 3 + 4) = 68.8 sq. inches. (Answer)
