    Question

    The base of an even solid prism is a triangle whose sides are 6, 8 and 10 cm. The height of the prism is 10 cm. What will be the total surface area, lateral surface area and volume of the prism?

    A.

    384 sq cm, 420 sq cm, 420 cubic cm

    B.

    240 sq cm, 322 sq cm, 340 cubic cm

    C.

    284 sq cm, 220 sq cm, 230 cubic cm

    D.

    288 sq cm, 240 sq cm, 240cubic cm

    Correct option is D

    Given
    Base sides = 6, 8, 10 cm (Right-angled triangle since 6² + 8² = 10²)
    Height (h) = 10 cm

    Formula Used
    Lateral Surface Area (LSA) =Perimeter of base×Height Perimeter\ of\ base \times Height​​
    Total Surface Area (TSA) = LSA + 2 × \times​ Area of base
    Volume = Area of base × \times  Height


    Solution
    Perimeter = 6 + 8 + 10 = 24 cm
    Area of base = 12×6×8=24 cm2\frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 8 = 24 \text{ cm}^2​​
    LSA = 24×10=240 cm224 \times 10 = 240 \text{ cm}^2​​
    TSA = 240 + 2(24) = 288 cm2288 \text{ cm}^2​​
    Volume = 24×1024 \times 10​ = 240 cm3240 \text{ cm}^3​​

    Final Answer
    So the correct answer is (d)
