Question

Find the surface area of a prism with a square base that is 5 cm by 5 cm and is 10 cm tall. show all work.

Answer 1

Have you sketched this prism? If not, I recommend you do. Mark the dimensions of the square base, and indicate the height of each triangle that makes up the lateral sides.

Answer 2

This is what I got:

multiplying the sum of the sides by the height of the prism.

(5 * 4) * 10

20 * 10 = 200

200 cm^2

Answer 6

Surface area = 2LW + 2(L+W)H

A = 2(5 x 5) + 2(5+5)x10

= 50 + 2(10)10
=50 + 200 = 250 square cm
hope that helps
