Question

Find the surface area of the parallelogram-based prism. Note: the prism has two parallelogram bases and four rectangular sides.

Answer 1

1548 unit^2

Explanation:

The area each of the 2 bases

= width * height

= 17 * 12

= 204 unit^2

2 have area 408 unit^2

Area of the lateral rectangles = 2 * 13 * 19 = 494 unit^2

Area of the top and bottom rectangles = 2 * 17 * 19 = 646 unit^2

Total surface area = 408 + 494 + 646

= 1548 unit^2.
