Question

What's the surface area formula for a prism with a square base?

Answer 1

I looked online but it's not really workin' out for me e.e

Answer 2

Prism area = 2*area of triangle + 2*area of sides(rectangle) + area of bottom(rectangle)

Answer 3

I don't think it's a pyramid?

Answer 4

S = 2B + PH

B= area of base
P= perimeter of base
H= height

Answer 5

the area of triangle = 1/2* 5 * height

Answer 6

the area of rectangles at sides = 5 * (sqrt(5^2+10^2))

Answer 7

the area of base square will be usual,
and the area of rectangle at side is calculated using pythagoras formula

Answer 8

S = 2(5*5) + (5+5+5+5)(10)
=50 + 200
= 250 cm^2 <---- notice it is ^2 not ^3

Answer 9

Thanks @hoblos!
Is it weird that it's the same as the volume? o.o

Answer 10

since we are dealing with area.. it is always cm^2
and yw :)

Answer 11

Now i am confused .. what was the picture like??

Answer 12

it is like a box..

Answer 13

LOL ... i was thinking prism with a base of square was quite unheard of.
