The prism is a three dimensional object. 3-D objects do not just have area. They have something call surface area, which is the amount of around on the surface of the object. 3-D objects also have volume. Volume is the amount of space inside the object.
You can not work out the surface area of volume of just a prism. There are many many prisms out there. Prisms have many shapes and sizes.
You will have to work the surface area of one of the ends and then multiply that with the length.
surface area prism = 2 × area end + total area side = 2 × area end + perimeter end × length of prism The information given to you will allow you to work out the area of one pentagonal end, and the perimeter of the pentagonal end.
I'll concentrate on the region 'below', and as soon as the prism appears, I'll get to work on an answer.
The area of such a prism is Bh/3, where B is the base area, and h is the height (perpendicular to the plane that contains the base area).The area of such a prism is Bh/3, where B is the base area, and h is the height (perpendicular to the plane that contains the base area).The area of such a prism is Bh/3, where B is the base area, and h is the height (perpendicular to the plane that contains the base area).The area of such a prism is Bh/3, where B is the base area, and h is the height (perpendicular to the plane that contains the base area).
Work out the area of each of the 5 nets and then add them together
That depends on the shape of the base. A prism can have any sort of polygon for its base.

Sketch a net of the prism and and work out the area of each individual piece and then add them together

Work out the area of one end, then multiply by the length.
The area of such a prism is Bh/3, where B is the base area, and h is the height (perpendicular to the plane that contains the base area).The area of such a prism is Bh/3, where B is the base area, and h is the height (perpendicular to the plane that contains the base area).The area of such a prism is Bh/3, where B is the base area, and h is the height (perpendicular to the plane that contains the base area).The area of such a prism is Bh/3, where B is the base area, and h is the height (perpendicular to the plane that contains the base area).
Work out the surface area of its 6 faces individually and then add them together
Work out the area of each of the 5 nets and then add them together
volume=area of the cross section x the length
Its volume is its cross-section area times its length.
The lateral area of a prism is the sum of the area of the lateral faces
