Surface Area and Lateral Area of Prisms

This video tutorial by Mrs. Zia covers lessons 21 and 22 on surface area from module 3. It explains how to find the surface area of three-dimensional objects composed of triangles and quadrilaterals using polyhedron nets. The tutorial details the components of right prisms, including bases and lateral faces, and provides methods to calculate the lateral area of various prisms. It also covers factoring expressions using the distributive property and concludes with strategies for finding the surface area of pyramids.

What is a right prism characterized by?

• It has no bases and lateral faces that are hexagons.

• It has two congruent bases and lateral faces that are rectangles.

• It has two congruent bases and lateral faces that are triangles.

• It has a single base and lateral faces that are circles.

How is the lateral area of a right triangular prism calculated?

• By adding the areas of the triangular bases.

• By subtracting the base area from the total surface area.

• By summing the areas of the rectangular lateral faces.

• By multiplying the perimeter of the base by the height.

What does the expression A + B + C represent in the context of a right triangular prism?

• The total surface area of the prism.

• The volume of the prism.

• The height of the prism.

• The perimeter of the triangular base.

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

• Sum of the base area and four times the area of one lateral triangle.

• Sum of the base area and the volume of the pyramid.

• Twice the base area plus the perimeter.

• Four times the base area plus the height.

How do you find the lateral area of a right rectangular prism?

• By adding the areas of the two bases.

• By subtracting the base area from the total surface area.

• By multiplying the base area by the height.

• By multiplying the perimeter of the base by the height.
