The applet below lets you build a right triangular prism with the specifications listed. [br][br][i][color=#0000ff][b]Explore![/b][/color][/i][br][br]You can also use this resource to assess results of any problems you complete that for which you need to find a triangular prism's lateral area (LA), total surface area (TSA), and/or volume (V). [br][br][b][color=#1e84cc]To explore this resource in Augmented Reality, see the directions below this applet. [/color][/b][br]

1) Open up GeoGebra's 3D app on your device. [br][br]2) Press on the 3 horizontal bars (upper left). Select OPEN. [br][br]3) [b]To virtually explore a triangular prism, [/b]type[b] j6xVky5C[/b] [br] in the search bar. (Code = case sensitive). Select what appears. [br][br]IMPORTANT! [br][br]4) Use the [b]prismheight, triangleheight, and oneside[/b] sliders to alter the prism height, triangle height, and [br] purple side (respectively). [br][br] The [b]b[/b] slider controls the horizontal side (edge) of the triangle. Note b = 6 to start. [br][br] [b]TO CREATE A TRIANGLE THAT HAS BLUE ANGLE OBTUSE, find the line that says "v = false". [br][/b] Then edit this line so it says [b]v = true[/b]. [br] To go back to having this blue angle be right or acute, simply make this line [b]v = true. [br][br][/b] [b]To show the TSA, LA, and V[/b] values, simply make the values of [b]m_2, n_2, & o_2 true[/b], respectively. [br]
