1. Surface Area Formula for PRISMS
Wrapping a present
Painting a box
Cover with material
…..TO COVER THE SURFACE
S=Ph+2B
Add all BASE sides for “P” +
“S” represents the Surface Area you need. + + +
“P” represents the PERIMETER OF ONE BASE. h
The distance between BOTH BASES
“h” represents the DISTANCE BETWEEN BOTH BASES.
“B” represents the BASE AREA. B=bh
A = bh h b

2. Surface Area Formula for PRISMS
