Lateral Surface Area of Triangular Prism Calculator

Calculate Lateral Surface Area









Formula

The formula to calculate the Lateral Surface Area of a Triangular Prism is:

\[ \text{LSA} = (S_a + S_b + S_c) \cdot h \]

Definition

The lateral surface area of a triangular prism is the quantity of plane enclosed by all the lateral surfaces (excluding the top and bottom faces) of the prism. The sides A, B, and C are the lengths of the three base edges, and the height is the length of the straight line connecting any base vertex to the corresponding top vertex of the prism.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{LSA} = (10 + 14 + 20) \cdot 25 = 1100 \]

The Lateral Surface Area is 1100 Square Meters.
