Question

Which of the following statements are true about solids shown above

Check all that apply
A prism a has a lateral surface are of 60 cm 2
B prism b has a total surface are of 110 cm 2
C prism b has larger surface area
D prisms A and B have different values for lateral surface area

Answer 1

Ans its b and c

Explanation:

Answer 2

The correct statement about the surface areas is:

Option C: prism b has larger surface area

What is the surface area of the prism?

The formula for surface area of prism is:

S.A = 2(LW + LH + WH)

Where:

L is length

W is width

H is height

Thus:

SA of prism A = 2((3 * 5) + (3 * 5) + (3 * 3))

SA of prism A = 78 cm²

SA of prism B = 2((5 * 5) + (3 * 5) + (5 * 3))

SA of prism B = 150 cm²

Thus, we can say that prism b has larger surface area
