HI
WHAT IS THE EQUATION FOR SURFACE AREA OF A TRAPEZOIDAL PRISM.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

If you mean an upright prism with a trapezoid at the base, then

   1. Its lateral surface area is the product of the perimeter of the trapezoid by the height of the prism.

   2. The surface area of each base is the area of the trapezoid.

   3. The full surface area is the lateral surface area plus the doubled area of its base.
