Let’s check out your problem:

Lateral Surface Area (LSA) of a Triangular Prism

LSA=(S_(1)+S_(2)+b)×1
here,

S_(1),S_(2) and 
b= egdes of the base I = length of the prism

Lateral Surface Area (LSA) of a Triangular Prism\newlineLSA=(S1+S2+b)×1 L S A=\left(S_{1}+S_{2}+b\right) \times 1 \newlinehere,\newlineS1,S2 S_{1}, S_{2} and b= b= egdes of the base I = length of the prism

Q. Lateral Surface Area (LSA) of a Triangular Prism\newlineLSA=(S1+S2+b)×1 L S A=\left(S_{1}+S_{2}+b\right) \times 1 \newlinehere,\newlineS1,S2 S_{1}, S_{2} and b= b= egdes of the base I = length of the prism
  1. Calculate Perimeter: First, we need to add up the edges of the base to get the perimeter.\newlineCalculation: 5cm+6cm+7cm=18cm5\,\text{cm} + 6\,\text{cm} + 7\,\text{cm} = 18\,\text{cm}
  2. Find LSA: Next, we multiply the perimeter by the length of the prism to find the LSA.\newlineCalculation: 18cm×10cm=180cm218\,\text{cm} \times 10\,\text{cm} = 180\,\text{cm}^2
  3. Realize Mistake: Oops, I just realized I made a mistake. We don't need the perimeter for the LSA formula; we need the sum of the lateral edges. Since we don't have the individual lengths of the lateral edges, we can't solve this problem with the given information.
