WHAT YOULL LEARN Finding the surface area and volume of right prisms Finding the surface area and volume of right cylinders

One way to find the surface area of a space figure is to find the area of its net. You measure surface area in square units. Another way to find the surface area is to use the lateral area and the base areas. Lateral area (L.A.) of a solid is the sum of the areas of the lateral faces.

SURFACE AREA OF A PRISM

(PERIMETER OF THE BASE HEIGHT + TWICE THE AREA OF THE BASE) To determine the volume of a right prism, determine the area of the base and multiply it by the height.

Volume & Surface Area of Solids

Find the surface area and volume of the following. Write your answers correct to two decimal places. Use in your calculator. Solution: Given: B = 5(10) = 50 in.2 P = 30 in h = 6 in.

EXAMPLES :

Surface Area: SA = 2AB + PB h

Volume: V = AB h

SA = 2(50) + 30(6) SA = 280in 2

V = (10)(5)(6) V = 300in 3

b ..

SOLUTION: Given: r = 3 ft h = 4 ft Surface Area: SA = 2AB + PB h Volume: V = AB h

SA = 2! r 2 + 2! rh SA = 2! (32 ) + 2! (3)(4) SA = 18! + 24! SA = 42! SA ! 131.88 ft 2

V = ! r 2h V = ! (32 )4 V = 36! V ! 113.04 ft 3
