Surface Area & Volume of Rectangular Prisms

Front

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

Back

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

Front

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

Back

Volume = l × w × h, where l = length, w = width, h = height.

Front

How do you calculate the surface area of a cube?

Back

Surface Area = 6s², where s = side length of the cube.

Front

What is the volume of a cube with a side length of 4 inches?

Back

Volume = s³ = 4³ = 64 cubic inches.

Front

If a rectangular prism has a length of 5 inches, width of 3 inches, and height of 2 inches, what is its volume?

Back

Volume = 5 × 3 × 2 = 30 cubic inches.

Front

What is the total surface area of a cube with a side length of 3 inches?

Back

Surface Area = 6 × 3² = 54 square inches.

Front

If the surface area of a rectangular prism is 88 square inches, what could be its dimensions?

Back

Possible dimensions could be 4 inches (length), 4 inches (width), and 6 inches (height).

Front

What is the volume of a rectangular prism with dimensions 2 inches by 3 inches by 4 inches?

Back

Volume = 2 × 3 × 4 = 24 cubic inches.

Front

How do you find the height of a rectangular prism if you know the volume and the base area?

Back

Height = Volume / Base Area.

Front

What is the surface area of a rectangular prism with a length of 10 inches, width of 5 inches, and height of 2 inches?

Back

Surface Area = 2(10*5 + 10*2 + 5*2) = 2(50 + 20 + 10) = 2(80) = 160 square inches.
