To find the SA of any prism, find the area of each face. (*Note: Depending on the shape of the face, there might be different formulas.
Area of Square=length x length
Area of Triangle=base x height divided by 2
Area of Trapezoid=A1+A2 (divide the trapezoid into two triangles and find the area of each triangle, then add them) )
After you find the areas of all the faces of the prism, add all the areas to get the SA.

What is the smallest possible surface area of a right prism with a volume of 200 cm3?
Assuming you mean a rectangular prism, you get the smallest surface area if the prism is a cube. You can calculate the required length of side to get that volume; then, based on that, the corresponding surface area.
How do you you find the surface area of a equilateral triangular prism?
you calculate the area of one side, then multiply it by three.
How do you calculate a quadrangular prism?
Please be specific: Are you referring to surface area, volume? the length of one side?
How can you use a net to find the surface area of a prism?
Calculate the area of each net individually and then add them all up together
What is the surface area of a prism called?
It is simply called its surface area.
How do you calculate the surface area of an equalaterial trinuglar based prism?
To calculate the surface area of the equilateral triangular-based prism, you need to calculate the area of the equilateral triangle and all the other sides of the prism. The total area of all the phases will give the total surface are of an equilateral triangular based prism.
How do you calculate the area of a rectangular prism?
Surface area = 2ab + 2bc + 2ac
How do you calculate the total surface area of prism?
Find the area of each face separately and then add them together for the total surface area.
How do you calculate the surface area of a rectangular prism?
Formula: S = 2B + L

How do you calculate the surface area of a square prism?
You can think of a square prism as a die, having six sides. So you need the length of one side, 's'. That side's [surface] area is s2 With six sides, the cube's surface area is simply: 6s2
How do you calculate a quadrangular prism?
Please be specific: Are you referring to surface area, volume? the length of one side?
What is the difference of the surface area of a cylinder and a rectangular prism?
The surface area of a cylinder prism has round shape and the surface of a rectangular prism has a square shape.
How can you use a net to find the surface area of a prism?
Calculate the area of each net individually and then add them all up together
What is the surface area of a prism?
The surface area of a prism is the two bases and all the sides A = 2 *area of base + Perimeter of base * Height of prism.
How do you calculate the Surface area of a prism?
The surface area of a prism is the sum of the areas of each of its sides, plus the two bases. As the number of sides, and their shapes are indeterminate, there is no specific formula. The general formula is (2 x base area) + (perimeter x length)
