Front

What is a rectangular prism?

Back

A three-dimensional shape with six rectangular faces.

Front

What is surface area?

Back

The total area of the outer surface of a three-dimensional object.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is a net of a rectangular prism?

Back

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

Front

If a rectangular prism has a length of 5 cm, width of 3 cm, and height of 4 cm, what is its surface area?

Back

Surface Area = 2(5*3 + 5*4 + 3*4) = 94 cm².

Front

What units are used to measure surface area?

Back

Square units, such as cm², m², or ft².

Front

What does it mean to wrap the outside of a 3D shape?

Back

It refers to calculating the surface area, which is the total area covering the shape.

Front

What is the surface area of a cube with a side length of 6 cm?

Back

Surface Area = 6 * (side length)² = 6 * 6² = 216 cm².

Front

If the surface area of a rectangular prism is 200 cm², what could be its dimensions?

Back

Possible dimensions could be 5 cm x 5 cm x 4 cm.

Front

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

Back

Volume measures the space inside, while surface area measures the area covering the outside.
