Calculating Surface Area of Cylinders and Prisms

What is the first step in finding the lateral surface area of a cylinder?

• Multiply the radius by the height

• Shade the bases and identify the height

• Divide the diameter by 2 to find the radius

• Add the areas of the bases to the lateral surface area

How do you find the total surface area of a cylinder?

• 2(r + h) pi

• pi r squared h

• 2 pi r h + 2 pi r squared

• 2 pi r squared

What formula is used to find the lateral surface area of a rectangular prism?

• Length plus width plus height

• 2 times the area of the base

• Length times width times height

• Perimeter of the base times height

To find the total surface area of a rectangular prism, you need:

• The area of all faces added together

• The perimeter of the base and the height

• The length, width, and height

• The perimeter of the base, the height, and twice the area of the base

What is essential for calculating the surface area of a triangular prism?

• The length of all sides and the height

• The width of the base and the height of the prism

• The perimeter of the base and the height

• The area of the base and the volume

How do you find the total surface area of a triangular prism?

• Perimeter of the base plus the area of the base

• Sum of the areas of all triangular faces

• Base times height divided by 2

• Perimeter of the base times height plus twice the area of the base

What information is needed to solve for the height of a box given its total surface area?

• The weight of the box

• The volume of the box

• The length and width of the base

• The perimeter and the area of the base

If a rectangular prism's base measures 3 by 7 inches and its total surface area is 142 square inches, what is the height?

• 5 inches

• 3 inches

• 10 inches

• 7 inches

For a triangular prism with equilateral triangle bases of 9 cm each, how do you find the height if the lateral surface area is 216 cm squared?

• Divide the lateral surface area by the perimeter

• Multiply the base by the height of the triangle

• Add the areas of the bases to the lateral surface area

• Divide the lateral surface area by 27

What is the height of a triangular prism if its lateral surface area is 216 cm squared and the perimeter of its base is 27 cm?

• 10 cm

• 8 cm

• 12 cm

• 6 cm
