Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 192 Given :- Base of prism is square Height of prism = 10 cm Volume of prism = 160 cm3 Concept :- Concept of prism is based on cylinder Total surface area of prism = Curved/lateral surface area + (2 × Base area) Volume of prism = Base area × height Curved surface area of prism = Base perimeter × Height Area of square = side2 Perimeter of square = 4 × side Calculation :- ⇒ 160 = Base area × 10 ⇒ Base area = (160/10) ⇒ Base area = 16 cm2 As base of prism is square so, ⇒ 16 = side2 ⇒ Side = √16 = 4 cm ⇒ Perimeter of base = 4 × 4 = 16 cm Now ⇒ Curved surface area = 16 × 10 = 160 cm2 ⇒ Total surface area = 160 + (2 × 16) ⇒ Total surface area = 160 + 32 = 192 cm2 ∴ Total surface area is 192 cm2 |
