triangle prism with sides of 4.75 meters and 2.5 meters and a height of 1.5 meters.

Caleb's family is moving. They need a special box to hold a statue. The box they find is a regular triangle prism with sides of 4.75 meters and 2.5 meters and a height of 1.5 meters.

Part A: draw a net of the box. Label the lengths.

Part B: What is the surface ,to the nearest tenth?

I will guess that this means a regular triangular prism, so the triangles on the ends are equilateral triangles, but that the entire shape is not itself actually regular (since this would require that the shape be a pyramid, not a prism).

...with sides of 4.75 meters and 2.5 meters and a height of 1.5 meters.

I'm sorry, but I'm not seeing how these dimensions make sense...? Is there maybe a picture that goes along with this?
