- To determine the perimeter of the base, consider that the length is 5 in and the width is the same as the width of the top face of the prism, that is, 2 in. Then, the perimeters is:
P = 2l + 2w
w = 2 in
l = 5 in
P = 2(5 in) + 2(2 in)
P = 10 in + 4 in
P = 14 in
- The height of the doorstop is 1.2 in
- The area of the base is:
A = wl
A = (2 in)(5 in)
A = 10 in²
