fill in the blanks using the word bank provided Lateral surface area is finding the area of the sides of a three-dimensional geometric figure.Total surface area is finding the area of all the sides of a three-dimensional geometric figure including the bases.The shape of the base of a cylinder is a circle.The shape of the base of a rectangular prism is a rectangle.The shape of the base of a triangular prism is a triangle.Big B represents the area of the base.When given the diameter, I must divide by 2 to calculate the radius.The height of the prism is the distance between the two bases. Circular Bases Triangular Bases Rectangular Bases Match the shape to its name: Triangular Prism cone cylinder rectangular prism surface area matching match the terms below with the correct formula or key word area of a triangle area of a rectangle Total Surface Area - Cylinder Lateral Surface Area - Cylinder Lateral Surface Area - Prism Total Surface Area - Prism P Perimeter of the Base B Area of the Base Multiple Choice Questions Use your strategies to calculate the surface area in the problems below. A triangular prism and its dimensions are shown in the diagram below. What is the lateral surface area of this triangular prism in square centimeters? 192 128 152 144 Mr. Diaz wants to paint his storage shed.
