Question from Iliyas, a student: State the area of prism with logical proof? |
Iliyas,
Look a the definition of a prism in the glossary on Math Central.
Prism: A geometric solid with two bases that are congruent, parallel polygons and all other faces are parallelograms.
Thus the surface area of a prism is twice the area of the polygon that forms the base plus the areas of the parallelograms that form the remaining faces.
