Front

In the equation: Ph + 2B, why are you multiplying by 2?

Back

It is multiplying B by 2 because there are two bases.

Front

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

Back

Lateral Surface Area = 2πrh, where r = radius and h = height.

Front

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

Back

Total surface area includes the area of the bases, while lateral surface area only includes the area of the sides.

Front

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

Back

Surface Area = bh + (P * h), where b = base area, P = perimeter of the base, h = height.
