Surface Area Example 1: 31/10/24
Find the surface area of this prism.
Area of the top
Top = 12 x 8 = 96cm2
Area of the bottom
Same as the top = 96cm2 5cm
Area of the Right
Right = 12 x 5 = 60cm2
Area of the Left
Same as the right = 12cm
60cm2 8cm
Area of the front
Front = 5 x 8 = 40cm2
Total Surface Area
Area of the back 96 + 96 + 60 + 60 + 40 + 40
Same as the front = = 392cm2

Surface Area Example 2: 31/10/24
Find the surface area of this prism.
Area of the Front
Triangle
Top = ½ x 4 x 3 = 6cm2
Area of the Back Triangle 4cm
Same as the front = 6cm2
5cm
Area of the Sloping Side
Slope = 5 x 7 = 35cm2
Area of the Side 7cm
3cm
Side = 4 x 7 = 28cm2
Area of the bottom
Bottom = 3 x 7 = 21cm2
Total Surface Area
6 + 6 + 35 + 28 + 21
= 96cm2
