Answer:
The general formula for the total surface area of a right prism is T. S. A. =ph+2B where p represents the perimeter of the base, h the height of the prism and B the area of the base.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the surface area of a prism (or any other geometric solid) we open the solid like a carton box and flatten it out to find all included geometric forms. To find the volume of a prism (it doesn't matter if it is rectangular or triangular) we multiply the area of the base, called the base area B, by the height h.
