Review: Surface Area and Volume of Prisms/Pyramids

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

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

Back

Surface Area = (Base Area × 2) + (Perimeter × Height), where Base Area is the area of the triangular base.

Front

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

Back

Volume = Base Area × Height, where Base Area is the area of the triangular base.

Front

What is the formula for the volume of a pyramid?

Back

Volume = (1/3) × Base Area × Height.

Front

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

Back

Surface Area = Base Area + (1/2 × Perimeter × Slant Height).

Front

How do you calculate the area of a triangle?

Back

Area = (1/2) × base × height.

Front

What is the height of a pyramid?

Back

The height of a pyramid is the perpendicular distance from the base to the apex.

Front

What is the slant height of a pyramid?

Back

The slant height is the distance from the apex of the pyramid to the midpoint of a side of the base.

Front

If a triangular base has a base of 6 cm and a height of 8 cm, what is the area of the triangle?

Back

Area = (1/2) × 6 cm × 8 cm = 24 cm².
