Vocabulary lateral face lateral edge right prism oblique prism
altitude surface area lateral surface
5
Prisms and cylinders have 2 congruent parallel bases.
A lateral face is not a base. The edges of the base are called base edges. A lateral edge is not an edge of a base. The lateral faces of a right prism are all rectangles. An oblique prism has at least one nonrectangular lateral face.
6
An altitude of a prism or cylinder is a perpendicular segment joining the planes of the bases. The height of a three-dimensional figure is the length of an altitude. Surface area is the total area of all faces and curved surfaces of a three-dimensional figure. The lateral area of a prism is the sum of the areas of the lateral faces.
7
The net of a right prism can be drawn so that the lateral faces form a rectangle with the same height as the prism. The base of the rectangle is equal to the perimeter of the base of the prism.
8
The surface area of a right rectangular prism with length ℓ, width w, and height h can be written as
S = 2ℓw + 2wh + 2ℓh.
9
The surface area formula is only true for right prisms
The surface area formula is only true for right prisms. To find the surface area of an oblique prism, add the areas of the faces. Caution!

Example 3: Finding Surface Areas of Composite Three-Dimensional Figures
Find the surface area of the composite figure.
14
Example 3 Continued The surface area of the rectangular prism is . A right triangular prism is added to the rectangular prism. The surface area of the triangular prism is . Two copies of the rectangular prism base are removed. The area of the base is B = 2(4) = 8 cm2.
15
Example 3 Continued The surface area of the composite figure is the sum of the areas of all surfaces on the exterior of the figure. S = (rectangular prism surface area) + (triangular prism surface area) – 2(rectangular prism base area) S = – 2(8) = 72 cm2
16
Example 4: Exploring Effects of Changing Dimensions
The edge length of the cube is tripled. Describe the effect on the surface area.
17
Example 4 Continued original dimensions: edge length tripled: S = 6ℓ2
24 cm original dimensions: edge length tripled: S = 6ℓ2 S = 6ℓ2 = 6(8)2 = 384 cm2 = 6(24)2 = 3456 cm2 Notice than 3456 = 9(384). If the length, width, and height are tripled, the surface area is multiplied by 32, or 9.

Lesson Quiz: Part II 4. A cube has edge length 12 cm. If the edge length of the cube is doubled, what happens to the surface area? 5. Find the surface area of the composite figure. The surface area is multiplied by 4. S = 3752 m2

Objectives Learn and apply the formula for the volume of a prism.
20
Vocabulary volume
21
The volume of a three-dimensional figure is the number of nonoverlapping unit cubes of a given size that will exactly fill the interior. Cavalieri’s principle says that if two three-dimensional figures have the same height and have the same cross-sectional area at every level, they have the same volume. A right prism and an oblique prism with the same base and height have the same volume.

Example 1A: Finding Volumes of Prisms
Find the volume of the prism. Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary. V = ℓwh Volume of a right rectangular prism = (13)(3)(5) = 195 cm3 Substitute 13 for ℓ, 3 for w, and 5 for h.
