9 Areas and Volumes (I)
Ch. 9.2B Total Surface Areas of Prisms
Key Points
1. Total area of all lateral faces of a right prism = perimeter of base height
2. Total surface area of a prism = total area of all lateral faces + base area 2
e.g. Total area of all lateral faces of the right triangular prism
= (3 + 4 + 5) 6 cm2
= 72 cm2
