5. Find the area of a regular pentagon with apothem 4.13 ft and side length 6 ft.
ANSWER
61.95 ft2

5. Example 1
Find the surface area of a rectangular prism with height 2 centimeters, length 5 centimeters, and width 6 centimeters.
SOLUTION
STEP 1
Sketch the prism. Imagine unfolding it to
make a net.

6. Example 1
STEP 2
Find the areas of the rectangles that form the faces of the prism.
STEP 3
Add the areas of all the faces to find the
surface area.
The surface area of the prism is
S = 2(12) + 2(10) + 2(30)
= 104 cm2.

7. Example 2
Find the surface area and lateral area of the right pentagonal prism.
SOLUTION
STEP 1
Find the area of a pentagonal base. Use the formula of a regular polygon from page 793.
Apothem a = √ 62 –3.5252
≈ 4.86
Perimeter P = 5(7.05)
= 35.25
Area of base B = aP
= (0.5)(4.86)(35.25)  85.66

8. Example 2
STEP 2
Use the formula for the surface area of a right prism.
S = 2B + Ph
≈ 2(85.66) + (35.25)(9) ≈
The surface area of the right pentagonal prism is about square feet. The lateral area is Ph ≈ (35.25)(9) ≈ square feet.

2. Find the surface area and lateral area of a right rectangular prism with height 7 inches, length 3 inches, and width 4 inches using (a) a net and (b) the formula for the surface area of a right prism.
ANSWER
a. Left and right faces: 7 · 4 = 28 in.2
Top and bottom faces: 3 · 4 = 12 in.2
Front and back faces: 3 · 7 = 21 in.2
S = 2(28) + 2(12) + 2(21) = 122 in.2
Lateral area = 2(28) + 2(21) = 98 in.2
b. S = 2B + Ph = 2(3 · 4 ) + 14 · 7 = 122 in.2
Lateral area = Ph = 14 · 7 = 98 in.2

11. Example 3
You are wrapping a stack of 20 compact discs using a shrink wrap. Each disc is cylindrical with height 1.2 millimeters and radius 60 millimeters. What is the minimum amount of shrink wrap needed to cover the stack of 20 discs?
COMPACT DISCS

12. Example 3
SOLUTION
The 20 discs are stacked, so the height of the stack will be 20(1.2) = 24 mm. The radius is 60 millimeters. The minimum amount of shrink wrap needed will be equal to the surface area of the stack of discs.
S = 2πr πrh
Surface area of a cylinder.
= 2π(60) π(60)(24)
Substitute known values.
≈ 31,667
Use a calculator.
You will need at least 31,667 square millimeters, or about 317 square centimeters of shrink wrap.

13. Example 4
Find the height of the right cylinder shown, which has a surface area of square meters.
SOLUTION
Substitute known values in the formula for the surface area of a right cylinder and solve for the height h.
S = 2πr2 + 2πrh
Surface area of a cylinder.
= 2π(2.5)2 + 2π(2.5)h
Substitute known values.
= 12.5π + 5πh
Simplify.
– 12.5π = 5πh
Subtract 12.5π from each side.
≈ 5πh
Simplify. Use a calculator.
7.5 ≈ h
Divide each side by 5π.
