ProfessorThe 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.

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 find the surface area of a right prism?
2*area of a base + length*perimeter of base.
What are the 2 nets of trangular prism?
The two nets of a regular right triangular prism are surface area and volume.
How do you find the surface of a triangular prism?
The lateral area [L] of a right prism with base perimeter [P] and height [h] is L=Ph.
What is the surface area of a prism called?
It is simply called its surface area.
