Front

What is the formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism?

Back

SA = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh (where l = length, w = width, h = height)

Front

What is the formula for the surface area of a cylinder?

Back

SA = 2πr² + 2πrh (where r = radius, h = height)

Front

If the radius of a cylinder is 3 in and the height is 5 in, what is the surface area?

Back

Front

What is the difference between lateral surface area and total surface area?

Back

Lateral surface area excludes the area of the bases, while total surface area includes the area of the bases.

How do you calculate the perimeter of the base of a rectangular prism?

Back

P = 2(l + w) (where l = length, w = width)
