Lesson 10.1 Surface Area of Triangular Prisms

Front

What does B represent in the context of a triangular prism?

Back

B represents the Area of the Base.

Front

What does P represent in the context of a triangular prism?

Back

P represents the Perimeter of the Base.

Front

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

Back

Surface Area = (Base Area x 2) + (Perimeter x Height)

Front

What is the formula for the area of a triangle?

Back

Area = 1/2 * base * height

Front

What is the height of a triangular prism?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between surface area and volume?

Back

Surface area measures the total area of the surface of a 3D object, while volume measures the amount of space inside the object.

Front

If the base of a triangular prism is a right triangle, how do you find its area?

Back

Area = 1/2 * base * height of the triangle.

Front

What units are used to measure surface area?

Back

Surface area is measured in square units (e.g., cm², m²).

Front

What is the perimeter of a triangle?

Back

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of all its sides.

Front

How does increasing the height of a prism affect its surface area?

Back

Increasing the height of a prism increases the surface area, as it adds more area to the lateral faces.
