Surface Area and Volume Rectangular Prisms
Vocabulary Three-dimensional figure Rectangular Prism Has length, width, and height Rectangular Prism A three-dimensional figure with two parallel bases that are congruent rectangles.
Vocabulary Volume Surface Area Net The amount of space inside a three-dimensional figure Measured in cubic units Surface Area Covers the surface Ex: how much cardboard you would need to make a cereal box would be surface area Net Two-dimensional patterns of three-dimensional figures
Volume V = lwh l = length w = width h = height V = volume h w l
Surface Area SA = 2lw + 2 lh + 2wh SA = surface area l = length w = width h = height h w l
Surface Area and Volume Cylinders
Volume V = 3.14r2h V = Volume pi = 3.14 r = radius h = height To find the volume of a cylinder, find the area of the circular base and multiply it by the height.
Surface Area SA = 2(3.14)r2 + 2(3.14)rh SA = Surface Area 3.14 = pi r = radius h = height To find the surface area, you find the area of the circular base, multiply it by two, and add the circumference times the height to that number.
