How To Find the surface area for a normal prism

To find the surface area of a prism, use the formula SA=2B+ph, where SA stands for surface area, B stands for the area of the base of the prism, p stands for the perimeter of the base, and h stands for height of the prism.

Step-by-step explanation: To find surface area of the rectangular prism.

The formula to find the surface area of a rectangular prism is A = 2wl + 2lh + 2hw, where w is the width, the l is the length, and the h is the height.

Shapes.

Right rectangular prisms or cuboids are all around us. A few examples are books, boxes, buildings, bricks, boards, doors, containers, cabinets, mobiles, and laptops. Non-examples of a right rectangular prism: This shape is a prism but its top and base do not have right angles in the shape.
