If the base of a triangular prism has a perimeter of 30 cm and the height is 10 cm, what is the lateral area?

Back

Lateral Area = Ph = 30 cm * 10 cm = 300 cm².

What is the total surface area of a triangular prism with a lateral area of 300 cm² and a base area of 50 cm²?

Back

Total Surface Area = Lateral Area + 2B = 300 cm² + 2(50 cm²) = 400 cm².

If a triangular prism has a base area of 40 cm² and a height of 12 cm, what is the total surface area if the perimeter is 24 cm?

Back

Total Surface Area = Ph + 2B = (24 cm * 12 cm) + 2(40 cm²) = 288 cm² + 80 cm² = 368 cm².

Front

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

Back

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