Prisms and Cylinders Concepts

What is the lateral area of a solid?

• The height of the solid

• The total volume of the solid

• The area of the surface excluding the bases

• The area of the base

How do you find the perimeter of a base in a prism?

• Multiply the length by the width

• Add up all the sides of the base

• Divide the area by the height

• Subtract the height from the width

What is the formula for the volume of a prism?

• Perimeter times height

• Area of the base divided by height

• Base plus height

• Area of the base times height

Why do we leave calculations in terms of pi when dealing with cylinders?

• To avoid rounding errors

• To make the calculations easier

• To simplify the formulas

• To use fewer numbers
