WILL FAN AND MEDAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NEED HELP! The area of the base of a prism is 21 cm2. The perimeter of the base is 20 cm. The height of the prism is 8 cm. What is the surface area of the prism?

OpenStudy (igreen):

A = 2b + ph

OpenStudy (igreen):

Where 'b' is the area of the base, 'p' is the perimeter of the base, and 'h' is the height.

OpenStudy (igreen):

Plug in what we know: A = 2(21) + (20)(8) Simplify

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so A = 42 + 160

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yes!

OpenStudy (igreen):

Now add 42 + 60 to get your final answer.

OpenStudy (igreen):

160*
