6. Euler
Leonhard Paul Euler (15 April 1707 – 18 September 1783) was a pioneering Swiss mathematician and physicist who spent most of his life in Russia and Germany.
His surname is pronounced OY-lər in English
Euler made important discoveries in fields as diverse as calculus and graph theory. He also introduced much of the modern mathematical terminology and notation, particularly for mathematical analysis, such as the notion of a mathematical function.
Euler is considered to be the preeminent mathematician of the 18th century and one of the greatest of all time. A statement attributed to Pierre-Simon Laplace expresses Euler's influence on mathematics: "Read Euler, read Euler, he is the master [i.e., teacher] of us all."

7. Euler’s Formula
The number of faces (F), vertices (V) and edges (E) of a polyhedron are related by this formula: F+V = E + 2
Looking at the box to the right calculate the number of edges
Faces = 6
Vertices = 8
F + V = E + 2
6 + 8 = E + 2
14 = E + 2
E = 12

8. Platonic Solids
A Platonic solid is a convex polyhedron that is regular, in the sense of a regular polygon.
Specifically, the faces of a Platonic solid are congruent regular polygons, with the same number of faces meeting at each vertex.
They have the unique property that the faces, edges and angles of each solid are all congruent
There are only 5:
Tetrahedron (4 sides)
Hexahedron (6 sides)
Octahedron (8 sides)
Dodecahedron (12 sides)
Icosahedron (20 sides)

9. Surface Areas of Prisms and Cylinders
Prism: a polyhedron with exactly two congruent, parallel faces called bases
The other faces on a prism are called lateral faces
You name a prism by the shape of the bases
Altitude of a prism: the perpendicular segment that joins the planes of the bases
Height of a prism: The length of an altitude

10. Example This is a pentagonal prism Base: Lateral Face Lateral Edge
Altitude
Height h

11. Example Triangular Prism Base: Lateral Face Lateral Edge Altitude
Height h

12. Prisms A prism may either be a right prism, or an oblique prism
The book says we can
Assume
All right
prisms

13. Lateral Area/Surface Area
If you think about it, in a right prism, all lateral faces are rectangles, and all lateral edges are altitudes
The lateral area of a prism is the sum of the area of all the rectangles (lateral faces)
The surface area is the sum of the lateral area, and the area of the top and bottom face

14. Lateral Area
A look at lateral area (the sum of the area of the lateral faces):
If you look at this prism, there are three rectangles:
To calculate the lateral area, we calculate the area of each face –in this case there are three, there could be more
Remember, area is base x height
So we have 8 x x x 16 = 416 8 8 10 16 16 16 8 8 10 16 16 16 8 10 8

15. Lateral Area
Instead of adding three separate areas, we can combine these into one area
Now we have one big rectangle
The base is now = 26, and the height is 16
So the area is now 26 x 16 = 416 –which is the same
What do we call the base now that it’s combined?
This is called the Perimeter
If you think about it, this is the perimeter of the triangle 8 8 10 16 16 16 8 8 10 16
Now we have a new equation:
Lateral area is Perimeter x Height 8 10 8

16. Example What is the Lateral Area of this triangular prism?
Lateral Area = Perimeter x height
= ( ) x 20
= 37 x 20 = 740
Now use 25 for the perimeter and 17 for the height using the calculator… 10 15 12 20

17. Surface Area S = 2aTAN(180/n) A = S/2(Tan(180/n)
To calculate the surface area, calculate the lateral area, and add the area of the top and bottom base
Remember
Area of triangle = ½ x b x h
Area of square = S2
Area of rectangle = b x h
Area of regular polygon = ½ x a x p –where a = apothem, and p = perimeter (Apothem is the distance from one side to the center of the polygon)
THE APOTHEM ON A HEXAGON IS ALWAYS ½ THE SIDE X √3
SO IF YOU HAVE A HEXAGON WITH A SIDE OF 6, THEN THE APOTHEM IS 3 √3
S = 2aTAN(180/n)
A = S/2(Tan(180/n)

18. Area of a Cylinder
Like a prism, this has 2 bases (the top and the bottom)
We know how to find the area of a circle (π x r2)
We just need the Lateral Area
If we take the cylinder and unroll it, it looks like this:
How long is the base of this rectangle?
It is the same as the circumference of the circle, or 2xrx π –or dx π H H H H
dx π

19. Example Find the Surface area of this cylinder S.A. = L.A. + 2B
L.A. = P x H
P = 2 x r x π = 2 x 4 x π = 25.13
P x H = x 23 =
B = π x r2 = π x 16 = 50.27
S.A. = (50.27) =
R = 4 23

20. Surface Area Find the surface area of this rectangular prism
Surface area = Lateral area + 2b (where b = area of the base)
Lateral area = p x h
P = = 34
H = 20
Lateral Area = 34 x 20 = 680
B (area of one base) = 10 x 7 = 70
Surface area = L.A. + 2B
Surface Area = (70) = 820 10 7 20

22. Surface Area of A Pyramid
Pyramid: A polyhedron in which one face (the BASE) can be any polygon and the other faces (LATERAL FACES) are triangles that meet at a common vertex –called the VERTEX of the pyramid
Pyramids are named after the shape of the base
The altitude of a pyramid is the perpendicular segment from the base to the vertex –the height is the measurement of this altitude
A regular pyramid has a base that is a regular polygon AND the faces are congruent Isosceles triangles
The Slant Height is the length of an altitude of a lateral face

23. Label the Parts
Base
Altitude
Height
Slant Height
Vertex h h

24. Lateral Area
Lateral Area of a pyramid is the sum of the areas of the congruent lateral faces
Each lateral face is a triangle, where the base of the triangle is the length of the side of the base
The height of the triangle is the slant height l
Therefore the area of one face is ½ x l x s
In this pyramid, there are 4 sides, so it would be 4(1/2 x l x s)
NOTE 4 x s is the perimeter, so now we can rewrite this (for ALL pyramids) as Lateral Area = ½ x P x l
Where P = perimeter, and l = slant height s l

25. Lateral Area and Surface Area
Lateral area of a pyramid = L.A. = ½ x P x l
Surface area of a pyramid = L.A. + B (where B = area of the base)

26. Example
Find the surface area of a square pyramid with base edges of 5 meters and a slant height of 3 meters
L.A. = ½ x p x l
L.A. = ½ x (4 x 5) x 3
= ½ x 20 x 3 = 30 m2
S.A. = L.A. + B
B (area of base) = 5 x 5 = 25 m2
Surface Area = = 55 m2

27. Cones
A cone has a vertex like a pyramid, but the base is a circle, not a polygon
The height of cone is the perpendicular distance from the base to the vertex (same as a pyramid)
The slant height is the distance from the vertex to any point on the edge of the base

28. Cones
In a pyramid, the lateral area was ½ the perimeter times slant height l
A cone is much the same: the lateral area is ½ x 2πr x l  This reduces to π x r x l
The surface area is the Lateral Area  L.A. + B (area of base) –and the area of the base is
πr2

29. Example
Find the surface area of a cone with a slant height of 25 cm, and a radius of 15 cm in terms of π
L.A. = π x r x l
L.A. = π x 15 x 25= 375π
S.A. = L.A. + B (area of base)
S.A. = 375 π + 152π
S.A. = 375π + 225π = 600π

31. Spheres
A sphere (really a ball) is the set of all points which are equally distant from a center.
A radius is the same as in a circle, it starts at a point on the edge, and ends at the center point
A diameter is also the same –it is a segment that ends on both sides of the sphere, and goes through the middle

32. Sphere
Volume: 4/3πr3
Imagine cutting through a sphere with a plane. If you took each half and looked at it, it would create a circle
If you cut through the sphere exactly at the center, the circle you create would be called the GREAT CIRCLE
This Great Circle is the circumference of the sphere –it is the largest –or longest- distance around the sphere
A Great Circle creates two hemispheres (hemi means half)
S.A. –The surface area of a sphere is calculated as 4πr2

33. Example
Find the surface area of a sphere with a diameter of 8m. Leave in terms of π
Surface Area = 4πr2
= 4 π42
= 64 π m2

35. Volume of Prisms and Cylinders
We know that volume in its most simple terms is length x width x height
We can refine this somewhat and say that for prisms, volume is the area of the base x the height
V = Bh
Here, the area of the base is
6 x 4 = 24. Then multiply times
the height (12) = 288 12 4 6

36. Example Find the volume of this triangular prism
Here, we must find the area of the base triangle
A = ½(bxh) = ½(8x8) = ½(64) = 32
Multiply x height
= 32 x 24 = 768 24 8 8

37. Volume of a Cylinder
We use the same equation for the volume of a cylinder
V = Bh –(where B = the area of the base) x height
In this example, the area of the base is
A = πr2= πx9 = 9π
V = 9π x 8 = 72π or 226.2 3 8

38. Example 17 cm 12 cm 16 cm Find the volume of this composite figure
Break this down into two figures, a rectangle and a cylinder
What is the diameter of the circle on top?
12 cm
What is the radius of the circle on top?
6 cm
Therefore, what is the height of the rectangle?
17 cm – 6 cm = 11 cm
The volume of the rectangle is B x h = 16 x 12 x 17 = 3264
The volume of the cylinder is B x h
B = πr2 = π x 62 = 36π
Volume = 36π x 16 =
17 cm
12 cm
16 cm
But we only need ½ the cylinder, so we have 1/2x(1809.6) = 904.8
Now add 3264 = cm3

39. Example Find the volume of this composite figure
There is a cube, which is 8 x 8 x 8 = 512
And a rectangular prism which is
8 x 16 x 8 = 1024
Total = = 1536 8 8 8 8 16

41. Volume of Pyramids and Cones
The volume of a pyramid is 1/3 x B x h (note, this is NOT slant height, but regular height)
Find the volume of this pyramid
V = 1/3 x (6 x 8) x 25
V = 400 25 8 6

42. Volume of a Cone
The volume of a cone is the same as the volume of a sphere
V = 1/3 x B x h
In this example,
V = 1/3 x (π) x 62 x 14
V = 527.8
H = 14
R = 6
