This is the concept of algebra, given that the formula for the surface area of the prism is modeled by the expression SA=2s²+4sh , the surface area of the prism when s=3 and h=5 will be found by substituting the values in our expression as follows;
SA=2(3)²+4×3×5
SA=2(9)+60
SA=18+60
SA=78 sq. units
The answer is 78 sq. units
