CHAPTER 12 AREAS AND VOLUMES OF SOLIDS 12-1 PRISMS
PRISM Prisms are 3-dimensional solids that have the following characteristics: 1.Bases 2.An altitude 3.Lateral faces 4.Lateral edges
BASES OF A PRISM Every prism has two bases that are congruent polygons lying on parallel planes. **Bases of a prism can be any figure from chapter 11 except for circles: Squares, rectangles, parallelograms, triangles, rhombuses, trapezoids, and regular polygons.
ALTITUDE OF A PRISM An altitude of a prism is a segment that joins the two base planes and is perpendicular to both. The length of the altitude of a prism is also known as the height of the prism (H).
LATERAL FACES A prism has multiple “faces” which include the bases of the prism. The lateral faces of a prism that are not its bases are called lateral faces. The lateral faces of an oblique prism are parallelogram. The lateral faces of a right prism are rectangles.
LATERAL EDGES Lateral edges of a prism occur where adjacent lateral faces meet. How you doin? What’s up?

THEOREM 12-1 The lateral area of a right prism equals the perimeter of a base times the height of the prism. L.A. = p H
LATERAL AREA In short, the lateral area of a right prism is the sum of the areas of the lateral faces. Remember, the lateral faces of a right prism are rectangles. Lateral AREA is measured in square units (units²).
TOTAL AREA Total area of a prism refers to the sum of the areas of all faces and, just like lateral area, is measured in square units. “All faces” of a prism include the lateral faces and bases. Total area of a prism is found by adding the lateral area to the area of both of the bases. T.A. = L.A. + 2B
THEOREM 12-2 The volume of a right prism equals the area of a base times the height of the prism. V = B H
VOLUME Volume is a 3-dimensional measure and is reported in cubic units (units³). The formula for volume includes a capital B which represents the area of the base.
AREA OF A BASE OF A PRISM “B” can be any of the following: 1.s²Square 2.bh Rectangle, parallelogram 3.½ bhTriangle 4.½ d 1 d 2 Rhombus 5.½ h (b 1 + b 2 )Trapezoid 6.½ apRegular polygon
