Front

What does 'P' stand for in the surface area formulas?

Back

Perimeter of the Base

Front

Which formula can be used to find the surface area of a prism?

Back

SA = Ph + 2B

Front

How do you calculate the surface area of a cylinder?

Back

SA = 2πrh + 2πr²

Front

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

Back

SA = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh

Front

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

Back

SA = 2π(3)(5) + 2π(3)² = 54π in²

Front

What is the relationship between surface area and volume in prisms?

Back

Surface area measures the total area of the surface, while volume measures the space inside the prism.

Front

How do you find the base area (B) of a rectangular prism?

Back

B = length × width

Front

What is the surface area of a cube with a side length of 4 in.?

Back

SA = 6s² = 6(4)² = 96 in²

Front

What is the significance of the height (h) in the surface area formulas?

Back

Height is used to calculate the lateral area of prisms and cylinders.

Front

How do you calculate the lateral surface area (LSA) of a prism?

Back

LSA = Perimeter of the base (P) × Height (h)
