What is a Rectangular Prism?

Back

A three-dimensional shape with six rectangular faces, where opposite faces are equal in area.

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 a Cube?

Back

A special type of rectangular prism where all six faces are squares and all edges are of equal length.

Front

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

Back

Surface Area = 6s², where s = length of a side.

Front

What is a Triangular Prism?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for the surface area of a Triangular Prism?

Back

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

Front

How do you find the area of a rectangle?

Back

Area = length x width.

Front

How do you find the area of a triangle?

Back

Area = 1/2 x base x height.

Front

What is a Net in geometry?

Back

A two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional shape that can be folded to form the shape.

Front

How do you calculate the total surface area using a net?

Back

Add the areas of all the faces represented in the net.
