I did 2 times base of prism plus perimeter of the bas times height
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Oh did you do 21 x 2 + 21 +8
OpenStudy (anonymous):
20 for the perimeter
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes exept the last part I did 21 x 8
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay you have to 21 x 21 because it's squared

OpenStudy (anonymous):
you did it?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so what would the formula be
OpenStudy (anonymous):
20 x 8, you don't need the base for surface area, that's what i was taught
OpenStudy (anonymous):
