to determine the total money saved by him.

3. Surface area of a prism can be calculated if the lengths of the three sides are known.
Write a program that takes the sides as input (read it as integer) and prints the surface
area of the prism (Surface Area = 2ab + 2bc + 2ca).

4. A plane travels 395,000 meters in 9000 seconds. Write a program to find the speed
of the plane (Speed = Distance / Time).

5. Write a program to find the sum of the first ‘n’ natural numbers, where the value of n
is provided by the user. Sum of ‘n’ numbers = n*(n+1)/2.
