Calculating Surface Area of Rectangular Prisms

What makes a prism a rectangular prism?

• All faces are triangles

• All faces are rectangles

• It has at least one circular face

• It has exactly two rectangular faces

What does the lateral surface area of a rectangular prism exclude?

• The bottom face only

• The top face only

• The sides

• The bases

How do you calculate the lateral surface area of a rectangular prism?

• Length x Width

• Length x Width x Height

• Perimeter of the base x Height

• 2(Length + Width + Height)

What additional element is included in the total surface area formula compared to the lateral surface area?

• Area of the bases

• Volume of the prism

• Circumference of the base

• Diagonal of the prism

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

• Perimeter x Height

• 2(Length + Width) x Height

• Length x Width x Height

• Perimeter x Height + 2 x Area of the base

If the perimeter of the base is 16 and the height is 4, what is the lateral surface area?

• 20 cm²

• 80 cm²

• 64 cm²

• 32 cm²

For a prism with a base perimeter of 16 and base area of 12, what is the total surface area if the height is 4?

• 104 cm²

• 88 cm²

• 64 cm²

• 96 cm²

How do you find the perimeter of a rectangular base?

• Length + Width

• 2(Length + Width)

• Length + Width + Height

• Length x Width

What is required to calculate the total surface area of a rectangular prism?

• Length, width, and height

• Perimeter of the base, height, and area of the base

• Length, width, and volume

• Perimeter of the base, height, and volume

If a box has a length of 15 inches, a width of 10 inches, and a height of 7 inches, what is its lateral surface area?

• 450 inches²

• 350 inches²

• 300 inches²

• 210 inches²
