The correct option is
A Total surface area of a rectangular prism
> Lateral surface area of a rectangular prism
Let,
Length of the rectangular prism
=l
Breadth of the rectangular prism
=b
Height of the rectangular prism
=h
→The lateral surface area of a rectangular prism
= 2( l + b) h
→The total surface area of a rectangular prism
=2(lb)+2(bh)+2(lh)
=2(lb)+2(l+b)h
Total surface area of a rectangular prism
=2lb+ lateral surface area of a rectangular prism
Hence, Total surface area of a rectangular prism
> lateral surface area of a rectangular prism
→The lateral surface area of a rectangular prism is
2(l+b)h.
