Q. (0) Key IdeaSurface Area of a PrismThe surface area S of any prism is the sum 0 lateral faces.S= areas of bases + area:
Find Base Area: First, we need to find the area of the two bases of the prism. Let's say the area of one base is A.
Calculate Lateral Faces: Next, we calculate the area of the lateral faces. If the perimeter of the base is P and the height of the prism is h, then the area of the lateral faces is P×h.
Calculate Total Surface Area: Now, we add the areas of the two bases to the area of the lateral faces to get the total surface area. So, S=2×A+P×h.
Plug in Numbers: Let's plug in the numbers. But wait, we don't have the actual numbers for A, P, or h. We can't solve this without the specific measurements of the prism.
