Why does the formula for finding the surface area of a rectangular prism is helpful?
There must be a typo in this question, "Why does the formula for finding the surface area of arectangular prism is helpful?" What does that even mean?
What is the formula for finding the total surface area of a triangular prism?
Assume that a = apothem length of the triangular prism, b = base length of the triangular prism, and h = height of the triangular prism. The formulas to find the surface area is SA = ab + 3bh.
Explain why the formula for finding the surface area of a rectangular prism is helpful?
It is helpful because when you do the problem you know what to do.
Finding the surface area of a rectangular prism?
If L is the length, H is the height, and W is the width of the rectangular prism, the surface area is: A = 2*L*H + 2*H*W + 2*W*L
How are the shortcuts for finding surface area and volume different?
volume is simply how much something can hold. area is based on the amount of space covering the figure. the short cut for surface area for a prism is lateral area+2base areas this is as simple as it gets for volume for a prism it is lwh
