what is the formula of lateral surface area of prism
Answers
Answer:
The general formula for the lateral surface area of a right prism is L. S. A. =ph where p represents the perimeter of the base and h represents the height of the prism.
Concept:
We recall the concept of prism to answer this question.
In geometry, Prism is a polyhedron with n sided polygon base and all the n faces being parallelograms.
To find:
Lateral surface area of prism
Solution:
Lateral surface area of an object or shape is the area of the lateral surface, i.e., all of the sides of the object excluding its base and top.
Hence, Lateral surface area of right triangular prism =ah+bh+ch
= (a+b+c)h
= perimeter of base×height
of prism
where a ,b ,c are the bases of rectangular faces and h is the height of prism and perimeter of base(triangle) =a+b+c
