Surface Area & Volume Geometry/Trig 2 Fall 2007
Rectangular Prism A three dimensional object with two rectangular bases and four rectangular lateral faces. Base (B) Base (B) R i g h t L e f t Front Back
Surface Area the sum of the areas of all of the faces (bases and lateral faces) of a solid. Lateral Area the sum of the areas of the lateral faces of a prism
How do we find Surface Area? Example 1 Find the area of each face: Front: ____________ Back: ____________ Top: _____________ Bottom: __________ Left Side: ________ Right Side: _______ Surface: ___________ 376cm2 6cm 80cm2 80cm2 60cm2 60cm2 48cm2 48cm2 8cm 10cm
How do we find Lateral Area? Example 1 Find the area of each face: Front: ____________ Back: ____________ Top: _____________ Bottom: __________ Left Side: ________ Right Side: _______ Lateral Area: ___________ 6cm 80cm2 80cm2 60cm2 60cm2 48cm2 48cm2 8cm 10cm 256cm2
Formula for Lateral Area: Lateral Area = Perimeter of Base x Height L.A. = ph Formula for Surface Area: Surface Area = Lateral Area + 2(Area of the Base) T.A. = L.A. + 2B
Example 2 Find the Lateral Area and the Surface Area 6m 6m 20m L.A. = Perimeter of Base x Height p = 20 + 20 + 6 + 6 = 52m L.A. = 52 x 6 = 312m2 L.A. = ph h = 6m T.A. = L.A. + 2(Area of the Base) T.A. = L.A. + 2B L.A. = 312m2 B = 20 x 6 = 120m2 T.A. = 312 + 2(120) = 552m2
Example 3 Find the Lateral Area and the Surface Area 9in 9in 9in L.A. = Perimeter of Base x Height p = 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 = 36in L.A. = 36 x 9 = 324in2 L.A. = ph h = 9in T.A. = L.A. + 2(Area of the Base) L.A. = 324in2 B = 9 x 9 = 81in2 T.A. = 324 + 2(81) = 486in2 T.A. = L.A. + 2B
Volume - the amount of space that an object occupies The units for Volume are always cubed. Examples: in3, m3, cm3. Formula for Volume of a Rectangular Prism: V = Area of the base x height V = Bh
V = Area of the base x height V = Bh Example 1 6cm B = 6 x 10 = 60cm2 h = 8cm 8cm 10cm V = 60 x 8 = 480cm3
V = Area of the base x height V = Bh Example 2 6m 6m B = 6 x 20 = 120m2 h = 6m 20m V = 120 x 6 = 720m3
V = Area of the base x height V = Bh Example 3 9in B = 9 x 9 = 81in2 h = 9in 9in 9in V = 81 x 9 = 729in3
Example 4 Find the Lateral Area, Surface Area, and Volume of the rectangular prism. p = 7 + 7 + 13 + 13 = 40in h = 5in B = 7 x 13 = 91in2 7in 5in 13in L.A. = ph T.A. = L.A. + 2B V = Bh L.A. = 40 x 5 T.A. = 200 + 2(91) T.A. = 382in2 V = 91 x 5 V = 455in3 L.A. = 200in2
We use the same formulas for lateral area, surface area and volume when dealing with other right prisms. L.A. = ph T.A. = L.A. + 2B V = Bh Trapezoidal Prism Triangular Prism Hexagonal Prism
Example 1 12m L.A. = ph = (27)(12) L.A. = ph = 324m2 4m 8m 7m 12m T.A. = L.A. + 2B = 324m2 + 2(24) T.A. = 372m2 V = Bh = (24)(12) V = 288m3 Area of the Base (B) = (12)(4) = 24m2 Perimeter of Base (p) = 12 + 8 + 7 = 27m Height (h) = 12m
Example 2 10m 10m 6m 16m 14m V = Bh = (48)(14) V = 672m3 L.A. = ph = (36)(14) L.A. = 504m2 T.A. = L.A. + 2B = 504 + 2(48) T.A. = 600m2
30m Example 3 B = h(b1 + b2) B = 10(8 + 30) B = 190m2 10m 40m 18m 14m 8m V = Bh = (190)(40) V = 7600m3 L.A. = ph = (70)(40) L.A. = 2800m2 T.A. = L.A. + 2B = 2800 + 2(190) T.A. = 3180m2

Cylinders Cylinders are very similar to the right prisms that we have been examining. The only difference is that instead of polygons (rectangle, triangle, trapezoid, hexagon) as bases, a cylinder has circular bases. The formulas to calculate lateral area, Surface area, and volume will be nearly the same as prisms.
The formula for Volume remains the same. (V = Bh). Because in this case the base is a circle, we must use the formula for finding area of a circle. Recall that area of a circle is calculated by using A = r2 The Lateral Area and Surface Area are calculated in a similar manner. However we must replace perimeter of base with circumference of base. C = 2 r
Therefore, to calculate Surface Area and Volume of a cylinder you must find three key pieces of information: 1. Area of the Base r2 2. Circumference of the Base 2 r 3. Height of the object - given
Example 1 Find the Lateral Area, Surface Area, and Volume of the Cylinder. Radius Area of Base = Circumference = Height = Volume = L.A. = T.A. = 80 + 2(16 ) 4in 10in 16 in2 8 in 4in 10in (16 )(10) 160 in3 = = (8 )(10) 80 in2 = 112 in2

Therefore, to calculate Surface Area and Volume of a Cone you must find four key pieces of information: 1. Area of the Base r2 2. Circumference of the Base 2 r 3. Height of the object h 4. Slant Height - l
