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 difference between lateral and total surface area?

• Total surface area involves the bases

• Lateral surface area involves the bases

• There is no difference 

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

• Total surface area includes 1 base instead of 2 bases like lateral does

• Lateral includes all the faces while total only includes the bases

• Total surface area includes the base(s) and all the faces while lateral does not include the base(s)

• Lateral just includes B, the area of the base while total does not
