Surface Area

What is the total surface area of the triangular prism shown? 

• 468 in²
• 540 in²
• 576 in²
• 700 in²

What is surface area?

• The measure of the amount of space inside of a solid figure
• The sum of all the areas of all the shapes that cover the object

Find the total surface area of the prism.

• 161 square feet
• 1,700 square feet
• 75 square feet
• 186 square feet

What is lateral surface area?

• The area of all of the sides (including bases or top and bottom).

• The area of only the sides (not including the bases or top and bottom).

• The perimeter of the base.

• The area of the base.

What is total surface area?

• The area of all of the sides (including bases or top and bottom).

• The area of only the sides (not including the bases or top and bottom).

• The perimeter of the base.

• The area of the base.

What is the difference between lateral and total surface area?

• Total surface area solves for perimeter of all the sides where lateral solves for area.

• Total surface area is the sum of the area of all the sides where lateral surface area is the sum of the area of only the sides. (Not including the bases or top and bottom).

• Total surface area can only be used for prisms and lateral surface area can only be used for cylinders and cones.

• None of the above.

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

• S=P x 2 x h x B

• S = P x h + 2 x B

• S = P x h

• S = P + B x 2 / h
