This example demonstrates the calculation of the surface area of a prism. Key mathematical concepts include the area calculation of geometric shapes and the surface area formula in solid geometry. Using GeoGebra commands such as Polygon and Prism, the example constructs a prism and calculates its surface area. Suitable for students in middle school and above learning solid geometry.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Polygon(B, C, D, A) → poly1, b, c, d, a
  2. Prism(poly1, f) → g, I, edgeBI, edgeCJ, edgeDK, edgeAL, edgeIJ, edgeJK, edgeKL, edgeIL, J, K, L, faceBCJI, faceCDKJ, faceADKL, faceABIL, faceIJKL
  3. Distance(L, I) → distanceLI
  4. Distance(A, D) → distanceAD
  5. Distance(J, C) → distanceJC
  6. Midpoint(J, C) →

AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a right prism with two triangular bases and three rectangular sides. First, draw the triangular base, then extend three rectangular sides from the corresponding vertices of the triangle, and finally calculate and display the surface area of the prism.
