how to find the surface area of a prism with formula
The general formula for the total surface area of a right prism is T. S. A. = ph + 2 B where p represents the perimeter of the base, h the height of the prism and B the area of the base. There is no easy way to calculate the surface area of an oblique prism in general.he lateral surface area of a prism is the sum of the areas of its lateral faces. The total surface area of a prism is the sum of the areas of its lateral faces and its two bases. Usually, if right or oblique is not mentioned, you can assume the prism is a right prism.
