PRISM

By I Md Ariyana
1. Recognizing a Prism

A prism name according to

the n-gon its based or top
side

Prism is a solid figure

bouded by two congruent
and parallel face, and
other rectangular faces
are perpendicular to triangular rectangular pentagonal

both faces prism prism prism

2. Part of Prism
a) 7 faces
-2 pentagonal
-5 rectangular

b) 15 edges
AB, BC, CD, DE, AE, ....

c) 10 vertexs
A, B, C, D, E, F, ...

d) 20 Plane diagonals
AC, AD, CE, BE, BD, AG, BF,
...

e) 10 space diagonals
AH, AI, BI, BJ, CJ, ...
f. 5 diagonal faces
ACHF, BDIG, CEIH, ....
3. The Net of a Prism
4. Surface Area of a Prism
Lateral Surface Area (L.S.A) of a
Prism
L.S.A = ph

Total Surface Area (T.S.A) of a Prism

T.S.A = 2B + ph

Where
p = perimeter of the base
h = height of the prism
B = the area of the base
Example
Find the total surface area of an isosceles
trapezoidal prism with parallel edges of the base 6
cm and 12 cm, the legs of the base 5 cm each, the
altitude of the base 4 cm and height of the prism
10 cm. Remember the
trapezoid area
formula
A = ½ h (b1 + b2)
Answer
The perimeter of the base is the sum of the lengths of
the sides.

p=6+5+12+5=28 cm

B=12(4)(6+12)=36 cm2

T.S.A.=ph+2B
=28(10)+2(36)
=280+72
=352 cm2
5. Volume of a Prism

Volume (V) of a Prism

V = Bh

Where
h = height of the prism
B = the area of the base
Example
Find the volume of the prism shown!

Remember the
rectangular area
formula
A = lw
Answer
B = lw
= 9×7
= 63 cm2 .

The height of the prism is 13 cm.

V=Bh .
=(63)(13)
= 819 cm3
Exercise
1. Square prism has a base edge a = 7 cm long
and a lateral edge h = 18 cm long. Determine
its volume and surface area
2. Find the volume and surface area of a
triangular prism with a right-angled triangle
base, if length of the prism base legs are 7 cm
and 4 cm and height of a prism is 24 cm.
