Calculating Total Surface Area of Rectangular Prisms

What shapes are discussed in the video for learning about surface areas?

• Cubes and spheres

• Rectangular prisms and cylinders

• Triangular prisms and cubes

• Rectangular and triangular prisms

What does 'P' represent in the formula for total surface area of a prism?

• Height of the prism

• Area of the base

• Volume of the prism

• Perimeter of the base

How do you calculate the perimeter of the base in a rectangular prism?

• Subtract the smaller side from the larger side

• Divide the area by the height

• Add all the sides of the base

• Multiply the length by width

What is the formula for the area of a rectangle used in the video?

• A = l - w

• A = l + w

• A = l / w

• A = l * w

In the example, what was the calculated perimeter of the base?

• 24

• 30

• 12

• 18

What was the area of the base in the first example?

• 24

• 36

• 18

• 48

How is the total surface area calculated in the example?

• P * H + 2 * B

• P / H + 2 * B

• P * H - 2 * B

• P + H + 2 * B

What was the total surface area obtained in the first example?

• 138 cm²

• 108 cm²

• 118 cm²

• 128 cm²

In the second example, what was the height of the prism?

• 2 cm
