Mathematics Quiz: Surface Area of Prisms

Test your knowledge on the surface area of prisms with the following questions. Choose the correct answer for each question.

Questions

1. What is the formula to calculate the surface area of a rectangular prism?

   • A. ( \text{SA} = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh )
   • B. ( \text{SA} = lw + lh + wh )
   • C. ( \text{SA} = 2l + 2w + 2h )
   • D. ( \text{SA} = l + w + h )

2. If the dimensions of a triangular prism are a base length of 5 cm, a base height of 3 cm, and a prism height of 10 cm, what is the surface area?

   • A. 150 cm²
   • B. 120 cm²
   • C. 80 cm²
   • D. 60 cm²

3. What shape is the base of a pentagonal prism?

   • A. Triangle
   • B. Rectangle
   • C. Pentagon
   • D. Hexagon

4. For a cylindrical prism, if the radius is 4 cm and the height is 10 cm, what is the formula used to calculate its lateral surface area?

   • A. ( \text{LA} = 2\pi r^2 )
   • B. ( \text{LA} = 2\pi rh )
   • C. ( \text{LA} = \pi r^2h )
   • D. ( \text{LA} = \pi rh^2 )

5. When calculating the surface area of a prism, why is it important to account for the bases?

   • A. Because they add to the height
   • B. Because they contribute to the overall area
   • C. Because they decrease the volume
   • D. Because they are irrelevant to the calculation
