Unit 1: Area and Surface Area Review

Front

What is the formula for calculating the area of a rectangle?

Back

Area = length × width.

Front

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

Back

Surface Area = 2(length × width + length × height + width × height).

Front

What is the difference between area and surface area?

Back

Area measures the space within a 2D shape, while surface area measures the total area of the surfaces of a 3D object.

Front

What is the volume of a rectangular prism?

Back

Volume = length × width × height.

Front

How do you compare two exponential numbers, such as 6^3 and 5^4?

Back

Calculate each value: 6^3 = 216 and 5^4 = 625. Since 625 > 216, 5^4 is greater.

Front

What is the unit for measuring area?

Back

Square units (e.g., cm², m²).

Front

What is the unit for measuring volume?

Back

Cubic units (e.g., cm³, m³).

Front

If a prism has a base area of 10 cm² and a height of 5 cm, what is its volume?

Back

Volume = base area × height = 10 cm² × 5 cm = 50 cm³.

Front

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

Back

Surface Area = 6 × (side length)² = 6 × (4 cm)² = 96 cm².

Front

What is the relationship between the area of a square and the length of its side?

Back

Area = (side length)².
