Surface Area of Prisms

Front

What is the total surface area of a prism?

Back

The total surface area of a prism is the sum of the areas of all its faces, including the bases and the lateral faces.

Front

What is the formula for the lateral surface area of a prism?

Back

The formula for the lateral surface area (LSA) of a prism is LSA = Perimeter of the base (P) × Height (h).

Front

What does 'B' represent in the total surface area formula of a prism?

Back

In the total surface area formula of a prism, 'B' represents the area of the base.

Front

What is the formula for the total surface area of a prism?

Back

The formula for the total surface area (TSA) of a prism is TSA = 2B + LSA, where B is the area of the base and LSA is the lateral surface area.

Front

What does 'h' stand for in the lateral surface area formula of a prism?

Back

In the lateral surface area formula of a prism, 'h' stands for the height of the prism.

Front

How do you calculate the area of a rectangular base?

Back

The area of a rectangular base is calculated using the formula: Area = length × width.

Front

How do you calculate the area of a triangular base?

Back

The area of a triangular base is calculated using the formula: Area = (1/2) × base × height.

Front

What is the perimeter of a base?

Back

The perimeter of a base is the total distance around the base shape, calculated by adding the lengths of all its sides.

Front

What is the difference between lateral surface area and total surface area?

Back

Lateral surface area includes only the sides of the prism, while total surface area includes the sides and the areas of the bases.

Front

What is the formula for the area of a circle?

Back

The formula for the area of a circle is A = πr², where r is the radius.
