1. What is the Total Surface Area of Right Wedge?

The Total Surface Area of Right Wedge is the total quantity of two dimensional space enclosed on the entire surface of the Right Wedge, including both lateral surfaces and base area.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( TSA \) — Total Surface Area of Right Wedge (m²)
• \( LSA \) — Lateral Surface Area of Right Wedge (m²)
• \( lBase \) — Base Length of Right Wedge (m)
• \( wBase \) — Base Width of Right Wedge (m)

Explanation: The formula calculates the total surface area by adding the lateral surface area to the area of the base rectangular face.

3. Importance of TSA Calculation

Details: Calculating the total surface area is important for determining material requirements, heat transfer calculations, and various engineering applications involving right wedge structures.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter lateral surface area in square meters, base length and base width in meters. All values must be positive numbers greater than zero.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is a Right Wedge?
A: A right wedge is a three-dimensional geometric shape with a rectangular base and two triangular faces meeting at an edge perpendicular to the base.

Q2: How is Lateral Surface Area different from Total Surface Area?
A: Lateral Surface Area includes only the side faces, while Total Surface Area includes all faces including the base.

Q3: What units should I use for the inputs?
A: Use consistent units (preferably meters for length and square meters for area) for accurate results.

Q4: Can this formula be used for irregular wedges?
A: No, this formula is specifically for right wedges where the triangular faces meet at a right angle to the base.

Q5: What if my wedge has additional faces?
A: This calculator is designed for standard right wedges. For more complex shapes, additional calculations would be needed.
