Surface area rectangular prisms and cubes

Front

What is a rectangular prism?

Back

A 3D shape with 6 rectangular faces, 12 edges, and 8 vertices.

Front

How many faces does a cube have?

Back

6 faces, all of which are squares.

Front

What is surface area?

Back

The total area of all the surfaces of a 3D shape.

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 the formula for the surface area of a cube?

Back

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

Front

What is a net in geometry?

Back

A 2D representation of a 3D shape that can be folded to form the shape.

Front

What is the volume of a rectangular prism?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between surface area and volume?

Back

Surface area measures the total area of the surface, while volume measures the space inside the shape.

Front

How many edges does a cube have?

Back

12 edges.

Front

What is a triangular prism?

Back

A 3D shape with 2 triangular faces and 3 rectangular faces.
