Surface Area Rectangular Prisms

Surface Area is the total area that the surface of a three-dimensional object occupies.

The formula is: Surface Area = 2(lw + lh + wh), where l = length, w = width, h = height.

Lateral Surface Area is the area of all the sides of a prism, excluding the top and bottom faces.

Lateral Surface Area = 2h(l + w), where h = height, l = length, w = width.

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

The Surface Area of a Cube is 6a², where a is the length of a side.

Surface Area = 6(10)² = 6(100) = 600 in².

Surface Area measures the total area of the surface, while Volume measures the space inside the prism.

Volume = l × w × h, where l = length, w = width, h = height.

Surface Area = 2(2*3 + 2*4 + 3*4) = 2(6 + 8 + 12) = 2(26) = 52 m².
