Surface Area of Prism


The surface area of a prism refers to the amount of total space occupy by the flat
faces of the prism. Finding the surface area of prism means calculating the total space
occupied by all the faces of that respective type of prism or the sum of the areas of faces
(or surfaces) in a 3D plane.
Formula = bh+ (s1 + s2 + s3) H
Problem solving
1.A triangular end has a base of 3 cm and height of 4 cm. The length of each side is 6 cm
and the height of the prism (length of the rectangle) is 8 cm. What is the surface area of
this triangular prism.
Given: base-3 cm
Height- 4 cm
Length of each side- 6 cm
Height of the prism – 8 cm
Required: What is the surface area of the triangular prism?
Equation: SA=bh+ (s1 + s2 + s3) H
Solution: SA=3(4) + (3+6+6)(8)
=12 +15 (8)
=12 + 120
=132 cm2
Answer: The surface area of the gift Max bought of his moms is 132 square centimeters.
2. A triangular prism has a triangular end with a base of 5 inches and a height of 4 inches.
The length of each side is 8 inches and the width of each side is 6 inches. What is the
surface area of the prism?
Given: base-5 inches
Height- 4 inches
Length – 8 inches
Width of each side- 6 inches
Required: What is the surface area of the prism?
Equation: SA=bh+ (s1 + s2 + s3) H
Solution: SA=5(4) + ( 5+6+6) 8
=20 + 17 (8)
= 20 + 136
=156 in2
Answer: The surface area of the triangular prism is 156 square inches.
3. A triangular prims has a triangular end with a base of 8 feet and a height of 6 feet. The
length of each side is 10 feet and the width of each side is 6 feet. What is the surface area
of the prism?
Given: base- 8 feet
height- 6 feet
length of each side- 10 feet
width – 6 feet
Required: What is the surface area of the prism?
Equation: SA=bh+ (s1 + s2 + s3) H
Solution: SA= 8(6) + (8 +6+6) (10)
=48+20 (10)
=48 + 200
=248 ft2
Answer: the surface area of the triangular prism is 248 square feet.
4. A triangular prism has a triangular end with a base of 12 inches and a height of 9
inches. The length of each side is 14 inches and the width of each side is 9 inches. What
is the surface area of the prism?
Given: base-12 inches
height- 9 inches
length- 14 inches
width- 9 inches
Equation: What is the surface area of the prism?
Solution: SA=12(9) + (9 + 9 + 9) ( 14)
=108 + 27 (14)
= 486 in2
Answer: The surface area of the triangular prism is 486 square inches.
5. A triangular prism has a triangular end with a base of 4 inches and a height of 3
inches. The length of each side is 5 inches and the width of each side is 3 inches. What is
the surface area of the prism?
Given: base- 4 inches
height- 3 inches
length- 5 inches
width- 3 inches
Required: What is the surface area of the prism?
Equation: SA=bh+ (s1 + s2 + s3) H
Solution: SA= 4 (3) + (4 +3 + 3) (5)
= 12 + 10 (5)
=12 + 50
= 62 inch2
Answer: The surface area of the prism is 62 square inches.
Surface Area of Cylinder
The surface area of a cylinder can be defined as the total space covered by the flat
surfaces of the bases of the cylinder and its curved surface.
Formula: S.A. = πr2 + 2πrh
