Surface Area of Prisms

Front

What is the surface area of a prism?

Back

The total area of all the surfaces (faces) of a prism.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is a prism?

Back

A solid shape with two identical ends and flat sides.

Front

How many faces does a rectangular prism have?

Back

6 faces.

Front

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

Back

Surface Area = base area + lateral area.

Front

What is lateral area in the context of prisms?

Back

The area of the sides of the prism, excluding the top and bottom.

Front

If a prism has a base area of 50 cm² and a height of 10 cm, what is the volume?

Back

Volume = base area × height = 50 cm² × 10 cm = 500 cm³.

Front

What is the difference between surface area and volume?

Back

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

Front

How do you find the surface area of a cylinder?

Back

Surface Area = 2πr(h + r), where r = radius and h = height.

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

Back

Surface Area = 6s² = 6(4 cm)² = 96 cm².
