Bonus Knowledge
When calculating the total surface area of a prism, you want to make sure you’re considering the areas of all its faces. A rectangular prism, for example, has two faces for each pair of dimensions, and the correct formula should reflect that by including a factor of 2 for each unique face. So, expressing it as
will give you the correct total surface area.
Remember, a common mistake is miscounting the faces or neglecting the pairs of dimensions. If you’re unsure, drawing the prism and labeling the dimensions can help visualize which areas to calculate. This way, you won’t miss any faces and will arrive at the correct total surface area!
