This example demonstrates the calculation of a prism's surface area. Key mathematical concepts include the geometric properties of prisms and area calculation methods. Using GeoGebra commands such as OrthogonalLine, Point, Polygon, Prism, etc., the surface net of the prism can be constructed, providing a visual understanding of the prism's surface area. Suitable for middle school and above students learning geometry and area calculation.
