3. Prism A polyhedron with two congruent faces, called the bases.
The bases are parallel.
The other faces are parallelograms and are called lateral faces.
The segments joining corresponding vertices of the bases are lateral edges.

7. Altitude of a Prism The perpendicular distance between the bases.
We usually use the letter h for the height – the length of the altitude. h
April 22, 2017

8. Right Prism The lateral edges are perpendicular to the bases.
For clarity, in many cases we do not indicate right prisms – use common sense.

14. Surface Area The sum of the areas of all the faces of a prism.
Area = Area of 2 bases + all lateral faces.

20. Surface Area
The surface area of a right prism can be found using
SA = 2B + Ph
B is the area of each base
P is the perimeter of a base
h is the height

22. Lateral Area
The lateral area of a shape is the area of the lateral faces, but doesn’t include the bases.
SA = 2B + Ph is total surface area.
Ph is the lateral area.
LA = Ph
