Exploring Surface Area and Volume of Prisms

What defines a prism?

• A solid with two congruent, parallel faces called bases.

• A shape with only one base.

• A 2D shape with multiple sides.

• A solid with all faces being the same shape.

What shapes can serve as bases for prisms?

• Triangles, rectangles, squares, pentagons, hexagons.

• Circles only.

• Ovals and circles.

• Only squares.

What is the surface area of a shape?

• The perimeter of its base.

• The area of its base only.

• The sum of the areas of all its faces.

• The volume inside the shape.

How is the surface area of a prism calculated?

• By multiplying the length and width.

• By squaring the perimeter of the base.

• By multiplying the base area by the height.

• By adding the areas of all its faces.

What is a net in geometry?

• A 2D representation of a 3D shape.

• A formula for calculating area.

• A tool for measuring volume.

• A type of prism.

What does the volume of a prism represent?

• The surface area of the prism.

• The length of the prism.

• The weight of the prism.

• The capacity or space inside the prism.

What is the formula for the volume of a prism?

• Volume = Base Area x Height

• Volume = Length x Width x Height

• Volume = Base Perimeter x Height

• Volume = (Base Area + Top Area) x Height

How do you find the volume of a rectangular prism?

• Multiply the area of the base by the height.

• Add the areas of all the faces.

• Multiply the length by the width.

• Divide the area of the base by the height.

If a rectangular prism has a base area of 24 cm² and a height of 10 cm, what is its volume?

• 240 cm³

• 2400 cm³

• 34 cm³

• 100 cm³

How can you find the missing height of a prism if you know its volume and the area of its base?

• Add the volume to the base area.

• Divide the volume by the base area.

• Multiply the volume by the base area.

• Subtract the base area from the volume.
