Surface Area and Volume of Prisms

Front

What is the formula for the volume of a prism?

Back

The volume of a prism is calculated using the formula: Volume = Base Area × Height.

Front

How do you find the base area of a triangular prism?

Back

To find the base area of a triangular prism, use the formula: Base Area = (1/2) × base × height of the triangle.

Front

What is the total surface area of a prism?

Back

The total surface area of a prism is the sum of the areas of all its faces.

Front

What is a triangular prism?

Back

A triangular prism is a three-dimensional shape with two triangular bases and three rectangular faces.

Front

How do you calculate the surface area of a triangular prism?

Back

Surface Area = (Base Area × 2) + (Perimeter of Base × Height).

Front

What measurements are needed to find the volume of a triangular prism?

Back

You need the base area of the triangle and the height of the prism.

Front

If a triangular prism has a base area of 20 cm² and a height of 10 cm, what is its volume?

Back

Volume = Base Area × Height = 20 cm² × 10 cm = 200 cm³.

Front

What is the difference between volume and surface area?

Back

Volume measures the space inside a 3D object, while surface area measures the total area of its outer surfaces.

Front

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

Back

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

How do you round a number to the nearest whole number?

Back

To round a number, look at the digit to the right of the rounding place. If it's 5 or more, round up; if it's less than 5, round down.
