  1. Popcorn Prisms Surface Area & Volume

  2. To do the next two lessons, you need to know... • That a prism is a 3-dimensional shape with 2 identical parallel bases. • The formulas for SA (surface area) and for V (volume) of a rectangular prism and a cylinder.

  3. Let’s start in the beginning… Before you can do surface area or volume, you have to know the following formulas. Rectangle A = lw Circle A = πr² C = πd

  4. Let’s start with a rectangular prism. Surface area can be done using the formula SA = 2 lw + 2 lw + 2 lwOR Either method will give you the same answer. you can find the area for each surface and add them up. Volume of a rectangular prism is V = lwh

  5. Example: 7 cm 4 cm 8 cm Surface Area Front/back 2(8)(4) = 64 cm² Left/right 2(4)(7) = 56 cm² Top/bottom 2(8)(7) = 112 cm² Add them up! SA = 232 cm² Volume V = lwh V = 8(4)(7) V = 224 cm³

  6. CIRCLES You must know the difference between RADIUS and DIAMETER. Center of the circle r d

  7. SURFACEAREAof a CYLINDER. Imagine that you can open up a cylinder like so You can see that the surface is made up of two circles and a rectangle. The length of the rectangle is the same as the circumference of the circle!

  8. EXAMPLE: Round to the nearest TENTH. Top or bottom circle A = πr² A = π(3.1)² A = π(9.61) A = 30.2 cm² Rectangle C = length C = π d C = π(6.2) C = 19.5 cm Now the area A = lw A = 19.5(12) A = 234 cm² Now add: 30.2 + 30.2 + 234 = SA = 294.4 in²

  9. There is also a formula to find surface area of a cylinder. Some people find this way easier: SA = 2πrh + 2πr² SA = 2π(3.1)(12) + 2π(3.1)² SA = 2π (37.2) + 2π(9.61) SA = π(74.4) + π(19.2) SA = 233.7 + 60.4 SA = 294.1 in² The answers are REALLY close, but not exactly the same. That’s because we rounded in the problem.

  10. Find the radius and height of the cylinder. The formula tells you what to do!!!! Remember the order of operations. You multiply before you add. 2πrh + 2πr² means multiply 2(π)(r)(h) + 2(π)(r)(r)

  11. Volume of a Cylinder We used this drawing for our surface area example. Now we will find the volume. V = (πr²)(h) V = (π)(3.1²)(12) V = (π)(3.1)(3.1)(12) V = 396.3 in³ optional step!
