Rationale
Rationale
The surface area formulas for a rectangular
prism are SA = 2bh + 2bw + 2hw or SA = LA +
2B. You must know or derive these!
SA = 2bh + 2bw + 2hw
SA = 2(12 8) + 2(12 2)
+ 2(8 2)
SA = 192 + 48 + 32
SA = 272 in2
SA = LA + 2B
SA = Ph + 2B
SA = (2 + 2 + 12 + 12) 8
+ 2(12 2)
SA = 28 8 + 48
SA = 224 + 48
SA = 272 in2

The surface area formula for a triangular prism
is
SA = LA + 2B. You must know If

this!
struggling, you can
SA = Ph + 2( bh)
SA = (2.5 + 2.5 + 1) 6 +
2( 1 2)
SA = 6 6 + 2
SA = 36 + 2
SA = 38 in2
Volume of a Cube
What is the side length of a cube if its volume is
125 cm3?
x cm
Click for
Rationale
Rationale
The volume of a cube formula is the same as
the volume of a rectangular prism. It is V =
bwh. Since all dimensions on a cube are the
same, you can ask yourself, what number
raised to the third power
125?
V = equals
bwh
125 = x3
125 = x x x
125 = 5 5 5
Therefore, x = 5 cm

The block shown is shaped like a cube. One of
the 6 surfaces you view has the area of 9 square
inches. What is the volume of the block?
Area of this face
equals 9 in2
Click for
Rationale
Rationale
Since each side of a cube is the same
length you can find the length by asking
yourself, What number times itself equals 9?
A = bh
9 = x2
9=xx
Therefore, x = 3

The volume of soup can shown is approximately 35.3 cubic
inches. The area of the base of the can is 7.1 square inches.
Rationale
Rationale
The volume of a cylinder formula is V = Bh; B =
