In the surface area formula shown (s = 2b + ph), b represents the area of the square base ( p represents the perimeter of the square base (10 in) and h is the height of the prism (5 find the surface area of the prism.

a) 25 in

b) 100 in

c) 250 in

d) 300 in

Given formula for the surface area of a right prism is S=2B+Ph (where B is the area of one of the bases, h is the prism's height and P is the perimeter of the base)

Here, B = 5 square inches (area of the square base)

P = 10 inches (perimeter of the square base)

h = 5 inches (height of prism)

So, putting the values in the formula we get,

S =

= = 60 square inches

Hence, the correct surface area of the prism is 60 sq in. (this is not given in the options)
