SOLID GEOMETRY CUBE

A. Prism, Cylinder and Cube

- a solid w/ constant cross section and
parallel end area w/c is named after its base
Formulas:
1.) Volume(V) = bh
b → base area
h → height or length
2.) Lateral Surface Area
“area of the surface along the length”
S = PB x h
PB → Perimeter of Base Area Formulas:
S → Lateral Surface Area D = √3𝑠
V = s3
Right Circular “ Cylinder “ TA = 6s2
D → Diagonal
TA → Total Area
S → side length
