Notes Surface Area & Volume of Rectangular Prisms Objectives: ~ Define and use formulas for finding the surface area, lateral area, and volume of a right rectangular prism. ~ Draw and label the net of a right rectangular prism, } Develop the concepts of maximizing volume and minimizing surface area. 37 tr0*= Ct SAT Practice a rack {aw In the figure below what is the value of x? sweet 4iz Qao* 07 A fie Stat = @4 eae (eza) o 48 we f5r=W $: (eae a os DR @ 16 leverywhere.comy Prism: A polyhedron that consists of a polygonal region Vocabulary ‘and its translated image in a parallel plane, with quadrilateral faces connecting the corresponding edges. Bases of a Prism: the formed by the polygonal region and its image Faces of Prism: each flat surface of a prism Lateral Face: the faces of a prism that are not bases nguiar prism pentagonalprism rectangular prism 3/16/2015Vocabulary Right Prism: @ prism in which all of the lateral faces are rectangles. Qbligue Prism: a prism that has at least one non rectangular lateral face Altitude: a segment that has endpoints in the planes containing the Bases of the prism, and that is perpendicular to both planes. Height: the length of an altitude Right Prism Oblique Prism Consider a deck of cards Would any of the following arrangements have a greater volume? > A right prism can have the same volume as an oblique prism Cavaliers Principle: Tf two solids have equal heights and the cross sections formed by ‘every plane parallel to the bases of both solids have two equal areas, then the two solids have equal volumes. 3/16/2015Vocabulary Net: A pattern that can be folded to make an object. “a Why is designing a net a necessary component when manufacturing packaging for a product? When manufacturing packaging for 10 product do you think that if is best to design nets that produce right rectangular prisms? Would ‘another prism design work better? Vocabulary Surface Area: The total area of all of the exposed surfaces of the object. To determine the surfaces add the area of all of the faces of the polyhedron or use the formula specified for each type of figure. 3/16/2015 we
