11.4 Surface Area of Prisms and Cylinders

Front

What does 'P' stand for in the surface area formulas?

Back

Perimeter of the Base

Front

What is the height (h) in the context of surface area calculations?

Back

The height (h) is the distance between the two bases of the prism or cylinder.

Front

If the perimeter (P) of the base is 20, what does this represent?

Back

The total length around the base of the prism or cylinder.

Front

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

Back

SA = Ph + 2B

Front

What does 'B' represent in the surface area formula?

Back

B represents the area of the base of the prism or cylinder.

Front

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

Back

SA = 2πrh + 2πr²

Front

How do you calculate the area of a rectangle?

Back

Area = length × width.

Front

What is the relationship between the surface area and volume of a prism?

Back

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

Front

If the base of a prism is a triangle with a perimeter of 36, what is the significance of this value?

Back

It is used to calculate the surface area of the prism.

Front

What is the formula for the volume of a prism?

Back

V = Bh, where B is the area of the base and h is the height.
