CHAPTER-3 MOM
CHAPTER-3 MOM
The world around us is obviously three-dimensional (Euclidean space) having height, width,
and depth. Understanding solids is a building block for finding their lateral area, surface area,
and measurements of volumes of various solid figures. These include pyramids, cylinders,
cubes, cones, spheres and prisms.

3.2.1 Prisms
Parts of a Prism
1. Base – is the planes where the two-dimensional shape or polygon begins and ends.
2. Lateral faces – is a surface on the sides of a prism.
3. Lateral edges – is the intersection of lateral faces of a prism.
4. Altitude/Height – is the distance between the bases.
Properties of a Prism
1. The lateral faces of a prism are either rectangles or parallelograms. If each base of
a right prism is a regular polygon of n sides, the prism contains n number of
congruent lateral faces which are rectangles.
2. The sections of a prism made by parallel planes intersecting all the lateral edges
are congruent polygons.
3. The bases of a prism are congruent polygons.
4. Every section made by a plane parallel to the base is congruent to the base.
5. The lateral edges of a prism are parallel and equal.
Types of Prism
𝑳𝑺𝑨 = 𝑷𝒆
Where 𝑳𝑺𝑨 is the lateral surface area, 𝑷 is the perimeter of a right section, and 𝒆 is the
length of a lateral edge.
𝑻𝑺𝑨 = 𝑳𝑺𝑨 + 𝟐𝑩
Where 𝑻𝑺𝑨 is the total surface area, 𝑳𝑺𝑨 is the lateral surface area, and 𝑩 is the area of
one base.
VOLUME OF A PRISM:
𝑽 = 𝑩𝒉
where 𝑽 is the volume of a prism, 𝑩 is the area of the base, and 𝒉 is the height of the
prism.
For oblique Prism:
𝑽 = 𝑩𝒉 = 𝑹𝒆
where 𝑽 is the volume of a prism, 𝑹 is the area of a right section, and 𝒆 is the length of the
lateral edge with the inclination 𝜽 measured with respect to plane 𝑩. Since 𝑩𝒉 = 𝑹𝒆 and 𝒉 =
𝒆 𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝜽, then 𝑹 = 𝑩 𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝜽.
Example 1. Find the lateral area and the total surface area of the right triangular prism.
x
Perimeter of base: Since height of prism:
8 cm 6 cm 𝑃 = 6 𝑐𝑚 + 8 𝑐𝑚 + 10 𝑐𝑚 ℎ = 12 𝑐𝑚
𝑃 = 24 𝑐𝑚
Solution:
Since the total surface area is given by 𝑇𝑆𝐴 = 𝐿𝑆𝐴 + 2𝐵
6 𝑇𝑆𝐴 = 𝐿𝑆𝐴 + 2𝐵
= 𝑃𝑒 + 2𝐿𝑊, since 𝑒 = ℎ and 𝑃 = 2𝐿 + 2𝑊
= (2𝐿 + 2𝑊)ℎ + 2𝐿𝑊
4 = [2(8) + 2(4)](6) + 2(8)(4)
𝑇𝑆𝐴 = 208 𝑠𝑞. 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑠

3.2.2 Cylinders
A cylinder is a solid bounded by a closed cylindrical surface and two parallel planes
cutting all the elements of the surface.
Right Circular Cylinder – is a cylinder whose line segment drawn from the center
of the bottom base to the center of the top base is perpendicular to each of the
bases.
Circular Cylinder – is a right circular cylinder whose bases are circles.
Oblique Circular Cylinder – is a cylinder whose line segment drawn from the
center of the bottom base to the center of the top base is not perpendicular to each
of the bases.
Parts of a Cylinder
1. Base – is a two parallel planes where circle in shape begins and ends.
2. Lateral faces – is a cylindrical surface.
3. Element – is a line segment formed in a cylindrical surface.
4. Radius – refers to the radius of the base.
5. Vertex – is the point where the slant height meet.
6. Axis of a Cone – is the line segment joining the vertex and the center of the base.
7. Altitude/Height – is the perpendicular distance between the bases.
𝑳𝑺𝑨 = 𝟐𝝅𝒓𝒉
where 𝑳𝑺𝑨 is the lateral surface area of the circular cylinder, 𝒓 is the radius of the base,
and 𝒉 is the height of the circular cylinder.
𝑻𝑺𝑨 = 𝑳𝑺𝑨 + 𝟐𝑩
Where 𝑻𝑺𝑨 is the total surface area, 𝑳𝑺𝑨 is the lateral surface area, and 𝑩 is the area of
one base.
𝑻𝑺𝑨 = 𝟐𝝅𝒓𝟐 + 𝟐𝝅𝒓𝒉
= 𝟐𝝅𝒓(𝒓 + 𝒉)
= 𝑪(𝒓 + 𝒉)
where 𝑪 is the circumference of the base, 𝒓 is the radius of the base, and 𝒉 is the height of
the circular cylinder.
VOLUME OF A CYLINDER:
𝑽 = 𝑩𝒉
where 𝑽 is the volume of a circular cylinder, 𝑩 is the area of the base, and 𝒉 is the height
of the cylinder.
𝑽 = 𝑩𝒉 = 𝑹𝒆
where 𝑽 is the volume of a circular cylinder, 𝑹 is the area of a right section, and 𝒆 is the
length of the element with the inclination 𝜽 measured with respect to plane 𝑩. Since 𝑩𝒉 = 𝑹𝒆 and
𝒉 = 𝒆 𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝜽, then 𝑹 = 𝑩 𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝜽.
Example 1. The total surface area of a cylinder is 𝟐𝟓𝟔𝝅 𝒄𝒎𝟐. If 𝑟 = ℎ, find 𝑟 and 𝐿𝐴.
Solution:
𝑟 = 8 𝑐𝑚
Example 2. This cylinder is 8 cm high. The end is a circle with a radius of 3 cm. Find the
volume.
Solution: 3
cm
Since the area of the upper base 𝐵 = 𝜋𝑟 2 .
8 cm
𝐵 = 𝜋𝑟 2
= 𝜋(3 𝑐𝑚)2 3
𝐵 = 9𝜋 𝑐𝑚2 cm
Volume:
𝑉 = 𝐵ℎ
= (9𝜋 𝑐𝑚2 )(8 𝑐𝑚)
𝑉 = 72𝜋 𝑐𝑚3 ≈ 226.19𝑐𝑚2
