Surface Area of Prisms and Pyramids

Front

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

Back

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

Front

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

Back

Surface Area = (Base Area x 2) + (Perimeter of Base x Height), where Base Area is the area of the triangular base.

Front

What is the surface area of a square pyramid?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between surface area and volume?

Back

Surface area measures the total area that the surface of an object occupies, while volume measures the amount of space an object occupies.

Front

How do you find the surface area of a cylinder?

Back

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

Front

What is the surface area of a prism?

Back

The surface area of a prism is the sum of the areas of all its faces.

Front

What is the formula for the area of a rectangle?

Back

Area = length x width.

Front

What is the formula for the area of a triangle?

Back

Area = (1/2) x base x height.

Front

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

Back

Add the areas of the two bases and the areas of the lateral faces.

Front

What is a slant height in the context of pyramids?

Back

Slant height is the distance from the apex of the pyramid to the midpoint of a side of the base.
