Question

Find the surface area of the right prism:

A rectangular base 2 ft by 6 ft, height 5 ft

Answer 1

area= bh
if i take 2*6 = 12(5) = 60 ft^3

Is this right?

Answer 2

SA = LA + 2B is the formula

Answer 3

LA=lateral area?

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

The surface area of a prism = 2 × area of base + perimeter of base × H

Answer 6

92 ft^2 is my answer

12 ft^2 is my base area
16 is my perimeter * height (5) = 80
80 + 12 = 92 ft^2

Answer 7

good :)

Answer 8

See if your answer matches please

Answer 9

really?

Answer 10

you got what you need yet?

Answer 11

so amistre is here...m leaving now:P

Answer 21

yes thank you

Answer 22

amistre u r great in maths... no doubt :)

Answer 23

i got me moments;) thanx

Answer 24

@dina..ok

Answer 25

Surface Area: rectangular base 2 ft by 6 ft, height 5 ft

Sa = 2tops + 2lefts + 2fronts ....

Sa = 2(6*2) + 2(6*5) + 2(5*2)

Sa = 24 +60 +20

Sa = 60 + 44 = 104, right?

Answer 26

eeks... did you see what I did?

Answer 27

no..... was it embarassing ?

Answer 28

formula is same as u applied

Answer 29

there might be some error in computations

Answer 30

I found the base area... then the perimeter * by height then added my base area to the lateral area

Answer 31

got 92

Answer 32

.... that aint gonna work out tho

Answer 33

where did I got wrong and how did you apply 2(height)? Just wondering.. :)

Answer 34

surface area of a box is just adding up all the faces...

each face consists of 2 parts to compute area

Answer 35

6.5 5.2 or 6.2

Answer 36

righteous

Answer 37

there are 2 faces that match for each set.....

Answer 38

2(6.2) + 2(6.5) + 2(5.2) is the total of all faces

Answer 39

and that would be 104 ft squared not cubed right?

Answer 40

squared is right

Answer 41

can you look the problem over with the pentagonal prism... check my answer...please

Answer 42

oh thats neat

Answer 43

i dunno ..... im kinda busy doing nothing ... and thats gonna take all day to finish lol

Answer 44

lol
