Answer: D.Surface area
Step-by-step explanation:
- Slant height is the distance along the lateral surface of a sold figure.
- Base area is the area of the base of the solid figure.
- Lateral surface area is the area of faces of a solid which does not include the area of the base or bases.
- The total area of the exterior surface which is know as surface area of a solid figure is the sum of the lateral surface area and the base area of that figure.
i.e. [tex]\text{Surface Area=Lateral Area + Base Area}[/tex]
Therefore, term which best describes the total area of the exterior surface of a solid figure is "Surface area" .
