To calculate the surface area of a prism, you need to find the area of each face and then add them together.
In the case of the prism shown, there are three rectangular faces and two triangular faces.
The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is: 2lw + 2lh + 2wh, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height of the prism.
Assuming the dimensions of the prism are as follows:
Length = 3 units
Width = 4 units
Height = 5 units
Plugging in these values into the formula, we get:
2(3)(4) + 2(3)(5) + 2(4)(5)
= 24 + 30 + 40
= 94
Therefore, the surface area of the prism shown is 94 square units.
the the net of the prism shown, whats its surface area?
