what is the formula for surface are of a prism cheyennerae

2b+ph? @DaBest21

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2(2x 3x+2x 5x+3x 5x)=62 x^2 \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or (L1*W1+L2*W2+L3*W3)*2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

robotobey dont give direct answers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do i do next?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so do 2x*3x to get one side then 2x*5x and 5x*3x substitute these values into the formula for surface area

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for example lets say the dimensions were 5 7 and 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So 6x+10x+15x? thats what i got. im prolly wrong..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

youd do (5*7+5*8+8*7)*2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if the dimensions were 5 7 and 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so instead plug in 2x, 3x and 5x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

into (l*w+l*h+h*w)*2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which one is length and width?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

with 2x as l, 3x as w, and 5x as h

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 256x(square of 4)+480x(square of 3)+225(squared)
