Identify the prisms in order from least to greatest surface areas.
B = 330.5
C = 144.31
A = 82.62

Answer by math_helper(2461) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I get B, C, A also (greatest to least) but my numbers are 360, 132, and 80, respectively.
Here is my calculation for B:
S = 8*13 + 6*13 + h*13 + 2((1/2)6*8)
[ 3 rectangular faces + last term for triangular top and bottom ]
h =
so S = 104 + 78 + 130 + 48
S = 360 sq units.
