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
Which answer choice gives the correct surface area of a triangular prism with bases that are 4 cm 2 and sides that are 10 cm2?
To calculate the surface area of a triangular prism, you need to find the area of the two triangular bases and the three rectangular faces. The formula for the surface area of a triangular prism is SA = 2B + PH, where B is the area of the base, P is the perimeter of the base, and H is the height of the prism. Given the bases are 4 cm^2 each and the sides are 10 cm^2, you would first find the perimeter of the base (P = 2s + b) and then calculate the surface area using the formula provided.
