10. The lateral faces of a prism are parallelograms that connect the bases
The lateral faces of a prism are parallelograms that connect the bases. The lateral area of a prism is the sum of the areas of the lateral faces.

12. Additional Example 2: Finding Surface Area of Prisms
Find the surface area of the figure to the nearest tenth.
The figure is a triangular prism.
S = 2B + Ph
= 2( • 8 • 3) + (18)(10) 1 2
= 204 ft2

14. The lateral surface of a cylinder is the curved surface.

15. Additional Example 3: Finding Surface Area of Cylinders
Find the surface area of the cylinder to the nearest tenth. Use 3.14 for p.
S = 2pr2 + 2prh
= 2p(42) + 2p(4)(6)
= 80p in2  in2

16. Check It Out! Example 3
Find the surface area of the cylinder to the nearest tenth. Use 3.14 for p.
15 cm
S = 2pr2 + 2prh
3 cm
= 2p(152) + 2p(15)(3)
= 540p in2  cm2

17. Additional Example 4: Application
A cylindrical soup can is 7.6 cm in diameter and 11.2 cm tall. Estimate the area of the label that covers the side of the can.
The cylinder’s diameter is about 8 cm, and its height is about 11 cm.
Only the lateral surface needs to be covered.
L = 2rh
= 2(4)(11)
Diameter ≈ 8 cm, so r ≈ 4 cm.
= 88 ≈ cm2

18. Check It Out! Example 4
A cylindrical storage tank that is 6 ft in diameter and 12 ft tall needs to be painted. Estimate the area to be painted.
S = 2r2 + 2rh
The diameter is 6 ft, so r = 3 ft.
= 2(32) + 2(3)(12)
= 90 ft2  ft2
