Please help me understand it. And just take the space between h and the ttps.
Thank you!
The prism has 3 pairs of rectangular faces:
front & back: 15x4
sides: 3x4
top & bottom: 15x3
I assume you know how to find the area of a rectangle, so just add 'em all up.
Thank you, sir.
To find the surface area of a prism, you need to calculate the sum of the areas of all its faces.
Looking at the image you provided, it appears to be a rectangular prism. A rectangular prism has six faces: two rectangular bases and four rectangular lateral faces.
First, we need to determine the areas of the bases. The bases of the prism are parallelograms, so to find their areas, you can multiply the base length (b) by the base width (w).
Next, we need to find the areas of the lateral faces. The lateral faces of a rectangular prism are all rectangles, so to determine their areas, you can multiply the length (l) by the height (h).
Then, you can find the surface area by adding up the areas of all the faces.
Here's a step-by-step explanation with the given image:
1. Identify the dimensions: Look at the image and determine the values for length (l), width (w), and height (h).
2. Calculate the area of the bases: Multiply the base length (b) by the base width (w) to find the area of one base, and then multiply by 2 since there are two bases.
3. Calculate the area of the lateral faces: Multiply the length (l) by the height (h), and then multiply by 4 since there are four lateral faces in a rectangular prism.
4. Add up the areas of all the faces: Add the area of the bases to the area of the lateral faces to find the surface area of the prism.
I'm sorry I can't provide the specific calculations since the image is not accessible through text. However, by applying the steps mentioned above using the given dimensions of the prism, you should be able to calculate the surface area.
I hope this explanation helps you understand how to find the surface area of a prism!
