Surface Area of Prisms

Front

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

Back

The lateral surface area (LSA) of a prism is calculated using the formula: LSA = Perimeter of the base × Height.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

How do you calculate the area of a triangular base?

Back

Front

What is the total surface area of a prism?

Back

The total surface area (TSA) of a prism is the sum of the lateral surface area and the areas of the two bases: TSA = LSA + 2B.

Front

What is the height of a prism?

Back

The height of a prism is the perpendicular distance between the two bases.

Front

What is the perimeter of a base?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

For a rectangular prism, the lateral surface area can be calculated using the formula: LSA = 2 × Height × (Length + Width).

Front

What is the relationship between the base area and the total surface area of a prism?

Back

The base area contributes to the total surface area, as it is included in the formula: TSA = LSA + 2B.

Front

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

Back

The total surface area of a cylinder is given by the formula: TSA = 2πr(h + r), where r is the radius and h is the height.

Front

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

Back

Lateral surface area refers to the area of the sides of the prism, while total surface area includes the lateral area plus the area of the bases.
