Lateral and Total Surface Area

Definition

100

This is the continuous line forming the boundary of a closed geometric figure.

Perimeter

200

This is the vertical distance from the top to the base of the object.

Height

300

This is the result of multiplying the Perimeter and the Height in Surface Area.

Lateral Area

400

This is the result of adding the Lateral Area plus the Area of the 2 Bases.
