What is the difference between surface area and volume?

Back

Surface area measures the total area of the surface of a three-dimensional object, while volume measures the amount of space inside it.

Front

What units are used to measure surface area?

Back

Square units (e.g., square meters, square feet).

Front

If the base of a triangular prism is 5 cm and the height is 10 cm, what is the area of the base?

Back

Area = 1/2 x 5 cm x 10 cm = 25 cm².

How do you find the total surface area of a triangular prism with a base area of 30 cm², a height of 12 cm, and a perimeter of 20 cm?

Back

Total Surface Area = (30 cm² x 2) + (20 cm x 12 cm) = 60 cm² + 240 cm² = 300 cm².
