What is the total surface area of a rectangular prism with length 2 cm, width 3 cm, and height 4 cm?

Back

Total Surface Area = 2(lw + lh + wh) = 2(2*3 + 2*4 + 3*4) = 2(6 + 8 + 12) = 52 cm².

What is the difference between surface area and volume?

Back

Surface area measures the total area of the surface of a 3D object, while volume measures the amount of space inside the object.

Front

If a prism has a base area of 12 cm² and a height of 3 cm, what is its volume?

Back

Volume = Base Area × Height = 12 cm² × 3 cm = 36 cm³.
