The lateral surface of a regular quadrangular prism is 30 cm2, and the total surface is 48 cm2. Find the height of the prism.

Subtracting the lateral surface area from the total surface area gives the area of two bases.

S floor – S side = 2 * Sb = 48 – 30 = 18 cm2.

Then Sbn = 18/2 = 9 cm2.

Since the prism is correct, then at the base of the prism there is a square, then:

Sosn = a ^ 2, where a is the side of the square.

AB ^ 2 = 9.

AB = 3 cm.

Determine the area of the lateral rib. S rib = S side / 4 = 30/4 = 7.5 cm2.

Sedge = AB * AA1.

AB * AA1 = 7.5.

AA1 = 7.5 / 3 = 2.5 cm.

Answer: The height of the prism is 2.5 cm.
