Question

what is the surface area of the entire prism?

face | area
a | 2 square units
b | 8 square units
c | 4 square units
opposite a | 2 square units
opposite b | 8 square units
opposite c | 4 square units

the surface area of the entire prism is

square units.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify all face areas

We have three pairs of faces: A and Opposite A (each 2), B and Opposite B (each 8), C and Opposite C (each 4).

Step2: Sum all face areas

Calculate the total by adding each pair: \( (2 + 2) + (8 + 8) + (4 + 4) \)

Step3: Perform the addition

\( 4 + 16 + 8 = 28 \)

Answer:

28
