Answer» Answer: ♢ Surface area of the prism = 242 cm². SOLUTIONLength of the rectangular prism = 10cm. Breadth of the rectangular prism = 7cm. Height of the rectangular prism = 3cm. The rectangular prism is actually in the shape of a cuboid. TSATotal Surface Area (TSA) of a cuboid = 2(lb + bh + LH) , Where l is the length , b is the breadth and h is the height of the cuboid. Here , l = 10cm. b = 7cm. h = 3cm. ⇒ TSA of the cuboid = 2(10×7 + 7×3 + 10×3) ⇒ TSA of the cuboid = 2(70 + 21 + 30) ⇒ TSA of the cuboid = 2 × 121 ⇒ TSA of the cuboid = 242 cm².
LSALateral surface area (LSA) of a cuboid = 2(l + b) × h , Where l is the length , b is the breadth and h is the height of the cuboid. Here , l = 10cm. b = 7cm. h = 3cm. ⇒ LSA of the cuboid = 2( 10 + 7) × 3 ⇒ LSA of the cuboid = 2 × 17 × 3 ⇒ LSA of the cuboid = 102 cm² |
