Rectangular Prism Surface area

Front

What is the Surface Area of a rectangular prism?

Back

The total area of all the surfaces of a rectangular prism, calculated using the formula: Surface Area = 2(lw + lh + wh), where l = length, w = width, h = height.

Front

What unit should be placed on a surface area problem?

Back

Squared (e.g., cm², m²) because surface area measures two-dimensional space.

Front

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

Back

Use the formula: Surface Area = 2(lw + lh + wh).

Front

What is the surface area of a rectangular prism with dimensions 4 cm, 5 cm, and 6 cm?

Back

Surface Area = 2(4*5 + 4*6 + 5*6) = 2(20 + 24 + 30) = 2(74) = 148 cm².

Front

What is a net of a rectangular prism?

Back

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

Front

If a rectangular prism has a length of 10 cm, width of 4 cm, and height of 3 cm, what is its surface area?

Back

Surface Area = 2(10*4 + 10*3 + 4*3) = 2(40 + 30 + 12) = 2(82) = 164 cm².

Front

What is the difference between surface area and volume?

Back

Surface area measures the total area of the surfaces, while volume measures the amount of space inside the prism.

Front

What is the surface area of a cube with a side length of 5 cm?

Back

Surface Area = 6 * (side length)² = 6 * (5)² = 6 * 25 = 150 cm².

Front

How does changing the dimensions of a rectangular prism affect its surface area?

Back

Increasing any dimension (length, width, or height) increases the surface area, while decreasing any dimension decreases the surface area.

Front

What is the formula for the surface area of a square pyramid?

Back

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