The prism shown consists of 6 parallelograms and the surface area of the prism shown in the figure is 48 square inches.
How to calculate the surface area of a figure
The surface area is equal to the sum of all the areas of the sides of the figure.
The figure shown consists of 6 parallelograms. The area for calculating the area of a parallelogram is expressed as:
Area = Base * Height
Surface area = 4(2*4) + (4 * 4)
Surface area = 4(8) + 16
Surface ares = 48 square in
Hence the surface area of the prism is 48 square inches.
