Review: Surface Area and Volume of Prisms/Pyramids

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.

Front

What is the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism?

Back

Volume = l × w × h, where l = length, w = width, h = height.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for the volume of a triangular prism?

Back

Volume = Base Area × Height of Prism.

Front

What is the base area of a triangle?

Back

Base Area = (1/2) × base × height.

Front

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

Back

Surface Area = Base Area + (1/2) × Perimeter of Base × Slant Height.

Front

What is the formula for the volume of a pyramid?

Back

Volume = (1/3) × Base Area × Height.

Front

What is the difference between surface area and volume?

Back

Surface area measures the total area of the surface of a 3D object, while volume measures the amount of space inside the object.

Front

How do you find the total surface area of a composite solid?

Back

Find the surface area of each individual shape and add them together.

Front

What is a prism?

Back

A prism is a solid shape with two identical bases and rectangular faces connecting them.
