Section 9.4 Volume and Surface Area
What You Will Learn Volume Surface Area
Volume Volume is the measure of the capacity of a three-dimensional figure. It is the amount of material you can put inside a three-dimensional figure. Surface area is sum of the areas of the surfaces of a three-dimensional figure. It refers to the total area that is on the outside surface of the figure.
Volume Solid geometry is the study of threedimensional solid figures, also called space figures. Volumes of threedimensional figures are measured in cubic units such as cubic feet or cubic meters. Surface areas of threedimensional figures are measured in square units such as square feet or square meters.

Polyhedra A polyhedron is a closed surface formed by the union of polygonal regions.
Euler’s Polyhedron Formula Number of vertices number of edges number of faces – + = 2
Platonic Solid A platonic solid, also known as a regular polyhedron, is a polyhedron whose faces are all regular polygons of the same size and shape. There are exactly five platonic solids. Tetrahedron: 4 faces, 4 vertices, 6 edges Dodecahedron: 12 faces, 20 vertices, 30 edges Icosahedron: 20 faces, 12 vertices, 30 edges Cube: 6 faces, 8 vertices, 12 edges Octahedron: 8 faces, 6 vertices, 12 edges
Prism A prism is a special type of polyhedron whose bases are congruent polygons and whose sides are parallelograms. These parallelogram regions are called the lateral faces of the prism. If all the lateral faces are rectangles, the prism is said to be a right prism.
Prism The prisms illustrated are all right prisms. When we use the word prism in this book, we are referring to a right prism.
Volume of a Prism V = Bh, where B is the area of the base and h is the height.
