The equation is in vertex form a(x-p)^2 + q, ergo giving us the highest point of the parabola, so q (in this case 45 is the highest point in meters, where p multiplied by (-1) is the time taken to reach that height
The lateral area of the prism equals to height * perimeter of the base. So the lateral area is 160 cm2. And the surface area of the prism equals to the area of the base*2+the lateral area= 202 cm2.
