- Circumference of a circle
- Area of a circle
- Surface area of a cylinder
- Volume of a cylinder
Formulas:
Circumference of a circle - pi d (pi *d) OR pi 2 r (pi * 2 * r)
Area of a circle - pi r² (pi * r²)
Surface area of a cylinder -
area of circle = (pi * r²) * 2
+
area of square = H * C
=
surface area of a cylinder
Circumference = pi r 2 (pi * 2 * r) (also needed to find surface area of a cylinder)
Volume of a cylinder - area of the base * height

For Finding the Surface Area you just follow the fomula! 2(HxL) + 2(HxW) + 2(LxW)
Fomula:
Net of a Rectangular Prism:
Once you know the formula you can start filling in what you know.
Finding the Volume of a Rectangular is too. You just have to follow the fomula.
Formula:
Now we can answer the fomula! By filling in the information we know!

Surface area of a rectangle prism:
A way to solve this problem:
L= 12
W= 4
H=12
Formula:
surface area(sa) = 2(hxl) + 2(hxw) + 2(lxw)
sa= 2(12x12) + 2(12x4) + 2(12x4)
sa= 2(144) + 2(48) + 2(48)
sa= 288 + 96 + 96
sa= 480 cm sqaured

Erick's BOB
Now the Area of a rectangular Prism is the area of all of the sides of the shape added up.
This is the net. This gives you a very good visual aid in helping you find the surface area of the shape because it shows all of the sides and squares.
Also it just looks neater.
Ok. so, shown on this net we have each side measuring 5cm. Now i did some work that is not shown here, but all i did was get the area of the box by using the formula, LxW. So 5x5 would give me the area of one square.
Now all we need to do is use a simple formula to find the surface Area.
Here's the formula for that!
Surface Area= 2(hxl)+2(hxw)+2(lxw)
Surface Area=2(5x5)+2(5x5)+2(5x5)
Surface Area=2(25)+2(25)+2(25)
Surface Area= 50 + 50 + 50
Surface Area = 150cm2
Now Volume is really simple! All you have to do is Get the measurements of all three sides and multiply them using this formula.
Volume of a Rectangular Prism
LxWxH
5cm2x5cm2x5cm2=125cm3
Please note the cubed!
Another way is Area of base X Height
(25cm2)5cm2=125cm2
Josephine's B.O.B
L=6cm
W=2cm
H=2cm
SA = 2(H * L) + 2(H * W) + 2(L * W)
= 2(2 * 6) + 2(2 * 2) + 2(6 * 2)
= 2 * 12 + 2 * 4 + 2 * 12
= 24 + 8 + 24
= 56cm²

Volume of a rectangular prism:
L=4cm
W=2cm
H=2cm
V = (L* W) * H
= (4 * 2) * 2
= 8 * 2 = 16cm³
OR
= (area of the base) * H
= 8 * 2
= 16cm³

Exequelle's BOB
2(W*H)+ 2(H*L) + 2(L*W)= The surface Area.
H = 1cm2
2(8cm2) + 2(4cm2) + 2 (32cm2) =
(W x L) x H = Volume
Base = 32 Height = 1 32 x 1 = 32cm3

Surface area is all of the areas on all of the sides added up on a solid figure such as ( in our case) a rectangular prism.
This is called a net. ---------------------> Nets are made out of shapes like this cube.
This is how you would change a cube into a net:
Heres how to get the surface area of a rectangular prism:
We know that there are two 6cm squared, two 2cm squared and two 3cm squared.
This is what it looks like: ( don't forget the formula)
2(6cm squared) + 2 (6cm squared) + 2 (3cm squared) Now do some math
36cm squared + 4cm squared + 9cm squared =
49cm squared.
A longer way to do it is like this:
(6x6) + (2x2) + (3x3)
36 + 4 + 9 =
49cm squared.
Volume Of A Rectangular Prism
Lets say that we are trying to find the volume of a rectangular prism.
L = 6
W = 2
H =2
Here's how you solve it.
L x W x H = (6cm squared x 2cm squared) x 2 cm squared =
24 cm squared.
Multiple methods to show this are
Length x width x height ( height also known as depth)
or you could use
Area of base x height

to find the volume and the surface area of
a rectangular prism.
What we did was draw a net of our shape out on gird paper and each cube represents 1 cm and then we labled it. Make sure the formula is writen down. The formula is ....
2 ( 4 x 2 )+ 2 ( 1 x 2 )+ 2 ( 4 x 1 ) =
2 (8 cm2 ) +2 ( 2 cm2 ) + 2 ( 4cm2 ) =
16 cm2 + 4cm2 + 8cm2 = 28 cm2
A secccond way is to just add the lengths together like this... 2cm 2 + 2cm2 + 4 cm2 + 4 cm2 + 8cm2 + 8 cm 2 = 28 cm2
To find the area of a rectangular prism you can use 2 diffrent stratigies or formulas. You can use...
( L x W ) x H = area or you can also use....... Area of the base x height. in this B.O.B we are going to solve it using both. First we drew a net of the rectangular prism.
Fromula : ( L x W ) x H = area
L = 8
W = 4 ( L x W ) x H
H = 1 ( 8 x 4 ) x 1 =
32 x 1 = 32 cm 3
The seccond way to solve this equation is to use the formula >>>>>> Area of the base x height = area of a rectangular prism.
The area of our base is 32 and 32 x our height would be 32 x 1= 32 cm 3. Since we are dealing with a 3 dimensional shape we have to make sure we use cubed witch is 3 instead of 2.
Judy's BOB
1.what is surface area?
surface area is the total area of the outside of a 3-D shape
2. how do you find the surface area?
first take your shape, and draw what it
would look like if it were opened and laid out:
Then measure the sides,
and find the area of each separate square (or rectangle)
.... suppose the sides are all 2cm long.
The formula to find the area of a square is
Length x Width so the area of each square would be 4cm²
Finally, use the formula to find the surface area.
you can either use:
(area = a)
a+a+a+a+a+a= surface area
4cm²+4cm²+4cm²+4cm²+4cm²+4cm²= 24cm²
OR
2 (HxL)+ 2(HxW)+ 2(LxW)
2(2x2)+ 2(2x2)+ 2(2x2)
2(4)+2(4)+2(4)=
8cm+8cm+8cm= 24cm²

THE VOLUME OF A RECTANGULAR PRISM
1. what is volume?
the amount of space an object takes up. in this case, a rectangular prism
2. How do you find the volume?
take a rectangular prism, and measure
it's length, width, and depth (also called height)
Then use the formula to find out the volume. You can use:
length x width x depth
3cm x 5cm x 2 cm
=30cm³
OR
Area of base x depth
(3cm x 5cm) x 2cm
15cm² x 2cm= 30cm³
