Solve the surface area of a prism,
S=2B+Ph,for B
Solve the formula for the indicated variable
Solve the surface area of a prism,
S=2B+Ph,for B
Solve the surface area of a prism,
S=2B+Ph,for B
Solution
The general formula for the lateral surface area of a right prism is L.S.A.=ph where p represents the perimeter of the base and h represents the height of the prism.
The general formula for the total surface area of a right prism is T.S.A.=ph+2B where p represents the perimeter of the base, h the height of the prism and B the area of the base.
B = (S - ph)/2
