This document provides the formula to calculate the total surface area of a square prism. A square prism is a 3D shape with two square bases and four rectangular lateral faces. The area of each lateral face is calculated as length x height. The total surface area is equal to the area of the two square bases plus the sum of the areas of the four lateral faces.

4. What is a square prism?
A square prism is a three
dimensional figure with two square
bases and four rectangular lateral
faces.

6. Area of the lateral rectangular
faces=ah+ah+ah+ah=4ah,
where ‘h’ is the height of the square prism.

7. Total surface area of the square
prism=
(a*a)+(a*a)+4ah.
