How to find the lateral area of the right triangular prism. What is the difference between the lateral area and the surface area of the right triangular prism?

Respuesta :

The lateral surface area of a prism

 =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 base

 lateral surface area of a right prism is  L.S.A.=ph  p represents the perimeter of the base and h represents the height of the prism.

total surface area of a right prism is T.S.A.=ph+2BT.S.A.=ph+2B
