What is the total area of a prism with 6' 4' 8'

OpenStudy (steve816):

Hey there! Are you looking for surface area or volume?

OpenStudy (jamesreed30):

Volume @steve816

OpenStudy (3mar):

steve816 is the genius here. He will help you!

OpenStudy (steve816):

Thank you @3mar :D

OpenStudy (3mar):

Don't forget to give him a medal or two if you can as he got sad if he did not have any!

OpenStudy (steve816):

Alright, sure thing!

OpenStudy (3mar):

"Volume = base x height" By the way, he asked about the total surface area!!!!!!!!!

OpenStudy (steve816):

Volume = length x width x height. Therefore, it would be \[6*4*8\]

OpenStudy (steve816):

He said volume, look at a few posts up.

OpenStudy (3mar):

""""""""""""""What is the total area of a prism with 6' 4' 8'""""""""""""

OpenStudy (steve816):

No, look at the posts below the question.

OpenStudy (jamesreed30):

I messed up @3mar

OpenStudy (jamesreed30):

So just multiply 8 4 and 6? @steve816

OpenStudy (3mar):

me or him? @Jamesreed30, choose in order not to be confused!

OpenStudy (jamesreed30):

Whichever one can help lol I guess you @3mar

OpenStudy (3mar):

Thanks. Sorry for late. For the volume of any prism = area of the base × height of the prism For the lateral area of a prism = perimeter of the base × height of the prism For the total area of a prism = lateral area + [ 2 × base area] * we assume the prism is a regular right prism.

OpenStudy (3mar):

Thank you for the medal!

OpenStudy (3mar):

I hope I helped you.

OpenStudy (jamesreed30):

Sorry I was busy @3mar so what is the answer?

OpenStudy (jamesreed30):

So it's either 8,12 or 16

OpenStudy (3mar):

Not at all! Now you talk about the area of the volume?

OpenStudy (steve816):

He was talking about the volume the entire time 3mar... you understand?

OpenStudy (jamesreed30):

So was I right either 8,12 or 16 one of those would be the answers @steve816
