Polyhedra & Surface Area
Polyhedra Polyhedron – Solid with all flat surfaces that enclose a single region of space. Basically, just a 3D figure whose sides are polygons. Face – “side” of the polyhedron.
Prism Prism – A polyhedron with two congruent parallel faces. The parallel faces are the bases of the prism. Faces – The sides OTHER THAN the bases. Prisms are named by their bases.
Right prism: A prism whose lateral edges are altitudes Oblique prism: A prism whose lateral edges are not altitudes Types of Prisms
Pyramid Pyramid – A polyhedron that has all its faces (except one) intersecting at a point. Pyramids are named by their base.
Name each polyhedra 4. 5.
Surface Area To find surface area of a prism, find the sum of the areas of all the faces of the prism. Net: A pattern for a three-dimensional solid Lateral faces: Rectangular faces that are not the bases Lateral edges: the parallel line segments formed when lateral faces meet
