Surface Area of Prisms and Pyramids

Front

What is the surface area of a prism?

Back

The total area of all the surfaces of the prism.

Front

What is the formula for finding 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 pyramid?

Back

A three-dimensional shape with a polygonal base and triangular faces that meet at a point.

Front

How do you find the surface area of a pyramid?

Back

Surface Area = Base Area + 1/2 * Perimeter of Base * Slant Height.

Front

What is a net in geometry?

Back

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

Front

What is the surface area of a cylinder?

Back

Surface Area = 2πr(h + r), where r = radius and 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 object.

Front

What is the surface area of a cube?

Back

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

Front

Why is surface area important in real life?

Back

It helps in determining materials needed for covering objects, like paint or wrapping paper.

Front

What is the surface area of a triangular prism?

Back

Surface Area = Base Area + Lateral Area.
