In your own words, tell me what I am asking you to do when I ask you to “find the surface area” of any object?
What do you think it would mean to "find the LATERAL surface area" of a prism? How would this be different from TOTAL surface area of a prism?

it means the surface of the prism but does not include the basees. Or in other word you are just finding the surface ares for the sides.Lateral is another word for sides.
When you say "find the surface area", you are saying to find the sum of all the areas of the faces of the figure, finding the area of the surface of the figure. When you say "find the lateral surface area", you are saying to find the area of all the faces of the figure EXCEPT the base of the figure. It would be different from regular surface area because it would be excluding faces, unlike regular surface area.
Surface area is the total area of all the faces of a figure.
lateral surface area is surface area but without the area of the bases is, but surface area is with all the faces.
• In your own words, tell me what I am asking you to do when I ask you to “find the surface area” of any object?
Basically you are asking for us to find the area of the prism’s net. You can also be asking us to find the area of each face of the prism, and then add them all together.

I think that finding the lateral surface area, is to find the surface area of the prism going around laterally, or around long-ways, or not the top and bottom!
(Sorry if this answer is kind of confusing!)
When you find surface area, you are finding all the areas of the pieces of the nets. Then add all the areas together to get the surface area. To find the lateral you find the surface area and subtract the base. It would be decreasing by the total area of the base.
To find the surface area you find all the dimensions of each of the sides. Then, multiply each length and width together. Finally, add up all of the answers to get the Surface area.
The lateral surface is the surface area of a 3D figure, excluding the base. This would change the surface area by a whole side. It would decrease the total surface area by the area of the base alone.
For the first question it means that you need to find the area of each side and then add them up to find the surface area!
Lateral surface areas is the surface area excluding the top and bottom so only the sides! It would affect the total surface area by taking the surface area and subtracting the top and bottom area from that.
When you ask to find the surface area, you are asking to add the unit squares on each side of the rectangle or square. I would think to find the lateral surface area would mean to just find the surface area for the sides. This would be different from finding the whole surface area because you are subtracting the bases or top and bottom from the surface area.

When you say “find the surface area” of any object I think you are telling me to find how many units2 it would take to make that object’s hallow shape. I think that finding the lateral surface area would mean finding the surface area of all the outside faces, except the base. This would be different from the total surface area because it would be the total surface, minus the base.
When you find the surface area it means to find the area of all the sides of the 3-D figure and add them all together.
When you find the lateral surface area of the prism it means to find the surface area of the 3D figure excluding any bases. This would be different from total surface area because total surface area is all the sides and lateral area is not
When asked to find the surface area of an object, I automatically think of finding the total outside area of a shape. Like if you had a rectangle that was 3x7x9, you would just multiply all the sides by 2 then add all of the products together to magically get the total surface area!
Considering what the term “lateral” means, it could be relating to finding the area of a cube (with all equal sides!) then adding that all together. It could be different from total surface area because all of the areas of each side are the same…

To find the surface area of a prism you would draw the net of the figure first. Then you would multiply the faces and bases. Then add the total up.
The difference between a lateral surface area and total surface area of the lateral surface area does not include the bases and the total surface area however includes the bases and all the faces.
1. There are multiple ways to find the surface area. The easiest way for me to find the surface area is to draw out a net for the 3D figure and calculate how many total squares there are.
2. When you’re finding the Lateral surface area, you are finding the surface area, but excluding the bases. The difference between the total surface area, and the lateral surface area is when you find the total surface area, you include the bases. However, when you find the lateral surface area, you don’t include the bases.
When you find the surface area of any object, you find the area of the outside if the box. The find the Lateral surface of a prism is to not count the base or the top. You only count the sides. The difference of the two is would be big. For example, If the sides all together they equaled 10 and the base, and the top equaled 15. The surface area would be 25, and the Lateral area would be 10.
When you say “find the surface area” of any object it means you find the outside of the box area. When you say "find the lateral surface area" of a prism you mean to find the surface area of the sides but not the top or bottom. The lateral surface area would be less than the normal surface area.
To find surface area first you have to find the dimensions of the net. You multiply them and the answers you get are added together to find the surface area. The surface area is the area of all the faces on the rectangular prism or cubic box.
To find the lateral surface area would be finding the surface are but putting aside the bases on the 3-D figure. It would change it because you are not multiplying and adding the bases.
1. To find the surface area of any object you have to find the area of all the faces in the shape. Then you have to add all of the faces together and then you have the surface area.
2. To find the lateral surface area you would do the same thing in finding surface area but you don’t add the bases. So in the end the lateral surface area would be less than the actual surface area.
When you ask us to find the surface area it means to find the area of all the faces of the figure. When you ask us to find the lateral surface area it means to, just find the area of the sides. That excludes the base and tops so both bases. It would be different from surface area because Surface area you are finding the area of all the sides. But lateral surface area it’s all the sides except both base
To find the surface area of an object you find the dimensions of the figure. Then you need to multiply each dimension by each other and multiply the products by two. After you have all of the three products add them together to get the surface area. Ex: 5x3(2), 5x2(2), and 3x2(2).... 30+20+12= 62 units squared
The lateral area is the surface area of a 3D figure, but excluding the area of any bases. This would be different from the surface area because the surface area would decrease by the area of the bases.
You are asking what is the area of each face of the shape is not the area of the whole shape. Lateral surface area is finding the sum of all the surface areas of the shape not including the bottom surface area.
The surface area of an object is the area of the faces added together of the net of an object. Lateral surface area is different because it doesn’t include the base and the top’s area in the surface area.
When you're asking us to find the suface area you are asking us for the are of all the sides including the bases
And when you are asking us for the lateral suface area you are asking us to find the area of just the four sides
When I am asked to find the surface are of an object, it means I am finding basically the area of the objects net. I usually would find the area of each side of the figure and add the totals all up to get the surface area. So finding surface area means finding the area of the objects surface.
The lateral area of a figure means finding the area of figures sides. This means basically taking the top of the object off along with the bottom just leaving the sides. This would be different from total surface are because the total surface area is finding the area of the whole objects sides, lateral area is just the sides.
To find the surface area of an object you find the dimensions of the figure. Then you need to multiply each dimension by each other and multiply the products by two. After you have all of the three products add them together to get the surface area. Ex: 5x3(2), 5x2(2), and 3x2(2).... 30+20+12= 62 units squared
The lateral area is the surface area of a 3D figure, but excluding the area of any bases. This would be different from the surface area because the surface area would decrease by the area of the bases.
When ask to find the total surface of an object it means to find the area required to cover a 3-dimensional shape. I think to find the lateral area means to find the surface area of a 3D figure without including the area of any bases. This would be different from total surface area because the total surface area includes all of the faces. The lateral area doesn’t include all faces.
You will first have to find the dimensions of the box. Once you find the dimensions of the box you need to find how many pieces of each dimension you have. Typically you have 2 pieces of each dimension. So let’s say they are 1x3x2 you would do
1x8(2) …. 1x8= 8(2)= 16
8x2(2) …. 8x2=16 16(2)= 32.
1x2(2)…. 1x2=2 2(2)= 4
so the surface area is 52units sq.
The definition of Lateral is not including top and bottom bases, it’s only the sides and the sides that are facing the opposite. It would have at least twice as less surface area.
When asked to find the surface area of an object, I automatically think of finding the total outside area of a shape. Like if you had a rectangle that was 3x7x9, you would just multiply all the sides by 2 then add all of the products together to magically get the total surface area!
Considering what the term “lateral” means, it could be relating to finding the area of a cube (with all equal sides!) then adding that all together. It could be different from total surface area because all of the areas of each side are the same…
When you ask us to "find the surface area" you mean for us to find all the areas of each face on the prism and add them all up. You will then get your total surface area. To find the total surface are you could get the objects net and find the area of each tile and add them all up in the end. When you are asking to "find the lateral surface area," you are asking us to find the surface area but exclude the bases. So the total surface area would be different to the lateral surface area because you are subtracting the area of the bases.
When you tell us to find the surface area of any object you are telling us to find the area of all the faces of the object and then add them all together.
I think lateral surface area is finding the surface area of the object without the base and the top. This would be different because total snswer sould be less becasue you took out to the base and top.
Finding the lateral surface area means finding the surface area without the bases. The difference between the total area and the lateral surface area is the base. There are different ways to find surface area. You can find the dimensions and see the how many faces there are that contain the dimensions. Example: 4x2x2, 6x4x2, 2x2x2 then you add the total of the multiplication problems to find the total surface area.
