Answer: P=5.2 h=3 B=2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find P, you add everything except for 3 because P starts for perimeter of the bases and 3 is the height of the prism. So P would equal 5.2. Then to get h, it’s just 3 because that’s the height of the prism. Now for B, you just multiply 1x2 because that’s the area of the base and you only need one. If you’re looking for total surface area, the answer is 19.6 becasue the formula is Pxh+2B meaning perimeter x height plus 2 x B. But for lateral, the answer is 15.6 because it’s just Pxh (perimeter x height) hope this helps lol sorry it’s so long.
