Question

find the total surface area of a right prism having a square base with a side off 11 feet and a altitude of 24 feet hint find the lateral of the prism first .then add the bases

Answer 1

1298ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Total surface area of a square prism is expressed as;

TSA = 2B + Ph

B is the base area

P is the perimeter of the base

h is the height of the prism

Base area = Length * Length

Base Area = 11 * 11

Base Area = 121ft^2

Perimeter = 4L

Perimeter = 4(11) = 44ft

h = 24ft

Substitute into the formula;

TSA = 2(121) + 44(24)

TSA = 242 + 1056

TSA = 1298ft^2

Hence the total surface area of the prism is 1298ft^2
