Question

Which of the following is the correct formula that can be used to find the surface area of a prism?

P = SB + 2h
S = Ph + 2B
B = Sh + 2P
None of the above

Answer 1

S = Ph + 2B

Explanation:

Looking at the available options given:

a) P = SB + 2h

Option a has to do with the Perimeter of a prism

b) S = Ph + 2B

Option b is the surface area of a prism specifically it represents the surface area of a triangular prism.

c) B = Sh + 2P

This is used to find the Base area of a prism.

Therefore, Option b is the correct option.
