Question

In the surface area formula shown, B represents the area of the square base, P represents the perimeter of the square base and h is the height of the prism. Find the surface area of the prism.

A) 25 in2
B) 100 in2
C) 250 in2
D) 300 in2

Answer 1

Answer:c 250

Explanation:

Answer 2

`C=250in^2`

Explanation:

The total surface area can be calculated using the formula

`S.A=2(lw+lh+wh)`

From the diagram

`l=5in,w=5in,h=10in`

We plug in these values to get;

`S.A=2[5(5)+5(10)+5(10)]`

`S.A=2[25+50+50]`

`S.A=2(125)`

`S.A=250in^2`
