a prisms base has a perimeter of 12cm and a height of 2 cm. the area of the base was 5cm. what is the surface area of the prism.

Explanation:

For any prism, there are two congruent bases opposite one another. In other words, the bases are identical polygons with the same area. Each base is 5 square cm. So far, that accounts for 5+5 = 10 square cm of surface area. Let A = 10 as we'll use it later.

The perimeter is 12 cm and the height is 2 cm. It turns out that the lateral surface area is found by multiplying the two items. This is because the perimeter is made up of the lengths of the sides of the base, which when multiplied by the height, will give the area of each rectangular side panel.

So the lateral surface area is 12*2 = 24 sq cm. Let B = 24.

Overall, the total surface area is A+B = 10+24 = 34 square cm

the median here is 25. your lowest value is 14 and highest value is 48. to find the third quartile, find the medium number in between 25 and 48 which would be 42 i believe.
