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

Back

Surface Area = 2B + Ph, where B is the area of the base, P is the perimeter of the base, and h is the height of the prism.

What is volume?

Back

Volume is the amount of space an object occupies, measured in cubic units.

Front

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

Back

Volume = length × width × height.

Front

What is surface area?

Back

Surface area is the sum of all the areas of all the shapes that cover the surface of the object.

Front

How do you find the area of a triangle?

Back

Area = 1/2 × base × height.

Front

What is the perimeter of a shape?

Back

Perimeter is the total distance around the outside of a shape.

Front

If the base of a triangular prism is a triangle with a base of 4 inches and a height of 3 inches, what is the area of the base?

Back

Area = 1/2 × 4 × 3 = 6 square inches.

Front

What is the height of a prism?

Back

The height of a prism is the perpendicular distance between the two bases.

Front

What is the difference between surface area and volume?

Back

Surface area measures the total area of the surface, while volume measures the space inside the object.
