Find the surface area for the given prism
A prism with a base of length 8 cm, width 6 cm, and height 4 cm
Surface area = 2(length x width) + 2(length x height) + 2(width x height)
Surface area = 2(8 cm x 6 cm) + 2(8 cm x 4 cm) + 2(6 cm x 4 cm)
Surface area = 96 cm^2 + 64 cm^2 + 48 cm^2
Surface area = 208 cm^2

To find the surface area of a prism, you need to add up the areas of all its faces. The formula for surface area varies depending on the shape of the bases. Could you please provide me with more information about the shape of the bases of the prism?
To find the surface area of a prism, you need to know the length and width of the base and the height of the prism.
1. Start by finding the area of the two bases of the prism. If the base is a rectangle, multiply the length and width. If the base is a triangle, use the formula 1/2 * base * height to find the area of one triangle and then double it since there are two bases.
2. Next, find the lateral area of the prism. The lateral area is the sum of the areas of all the faces that are not the bases. To find the lateral area, multiply the perimeter of the base by the height of the prism.
3. Finally, add the area of the bases and the lateral area to find the total surface area of the prism.
Please provide the specific dimensions (length, width, and height) of the prism, so I can guide you through the calculation.
