Jenny has found the total surface area and the lateral surface area of a prism, but she can't remember which is which. She got answers of 144 in.? and 304 in.?
How would you distinguish which answer is
lateral surface area and which is total surface area? (1 point)
• The two areas should be the same, so Jenny should recalculate.
The lateral surface area is 144 in.
, and the total surface area is 304 in.
2
. The area that is less is the
lateral surface area.
The lateral surface area is 304 in.? and the total surface area is 144 in.?
. The greater area is the lateral
surface area.
• There is not enough information given to distinguish lateral surface area from total surface area.
The lateral surface area is 144 in.? and the total surface area is 304 in.?
2.
. The area that is less is the
lateral surface area.
