The first thing we will do is assume that the prism is square based.
We have then that the edges of the base are:
P = 4L
P = 4 (8)
P = 32 cm
The edges of the top of the prism are:
P = 4L
P = 4 (8)
P = 32 cm
The edges of the prism height are:
P = 4h
P = 4 (11)
P = 44 cm
The total sum will be:
Pt = 32 + 32 + 44
Pt = 108 cm
Answer:
the sum of all edges is:
Pt = 108 cm
