What is the total surface area of a prism with a base area of 20 cm² and a height of 5 cm?

Back

Total Surface Area = 20 cm² + (perimeter of base * height). (Assuming perimeter is known, calculate accordingly.)

If a rectangular prism has dimensions 3 cm, 4 cm, and 5 cm, what is its surface area?

Back

Surface Area = 2(3*4 + 3*5 + 4*5) = 2(12 + 15 + 20) = 2(47) = 94 cm².
