What would be the formula for the lateral area of a right prism where p is the perimeter of the base and h is the height of the prism?
LA=ph
What is the formula for the lateral area of a right prism where p is the perimeter of the base and h is the height of the prism?
It is p*h square units.
What is the surface area of a right prism?
The surface area of a right prism is the sum of the areas of all its faces. The formula for calculating the surface area of a right prism is 2 × (base area) + (lateral area), where the base area is the area of the base shape and the lateral area is the sum of the areas of the remaining faces. The lateral area can also be calculated by multiplying the perimeter of the base shape by the height of the prism.
Given a right prism with height h and a base with perimeter p what would be the formula for the lateral area?
LA = ph
When was the surface area formula developed for the triagular prism?
A prism is a polyhedron with two parallel bases bounded by congruent polygons and with lateral faces bounded by parallelograms that connect the corresponding sides of the bases. The height of a prism is any perpendicular line drawn from a point on one base to the other base. If the the bases' shape of a prism is a triangle, we call it a triangular prism (it has 3 faces). The surface area is the sum of the bases' area and the faces' area (lateral area).
