Hey guys, its Mikko! Today we learned about the surface area of prisms. We also did a little bit of solving  proportion. Here is the key terms about surface area.

Key Terms

Cone: A cone is a three-dimensional geometric shape that tapers smoothly from a flat base (usually circular) to a point called the apex or vertex.

Cylinder: A cylinder is one of the most basic curvilinear geometric shapes, the surface formed by the points at a fixed distance from a given line segment, the axis of the cylinder.

Dimension: A dimension is a space or object is informally defined as the minimum number of coordinates needed to specify any point within it.

Prism: A prism is a transparent optical element with flat, polished surfaces that refract light. At least two of the flat surfaces must have an angle between them.

Pyramid: A pyramid is a structure whose shape is roughly that of a pyramid in the geometric sense; that is, its outer surfaces are triangular and converge to a single point at the top.

Sphere: A sphere is a perfectly round geometrical and circular object in three-dimensional space that resembles the shape of a completely round ball. 

Surface Area: A surface area is the total area of the faces and curved surface of a solid figure.

Volume Capacity: Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by some closed boundary and Capacity is a one way of measuring a set's size.

Lateral Surface Area: Lateral surface of a solid is the face or surface of the solid on its sides. 

Formulas:

Surface Area: Cm 2, Ft 2, Km 2

Volume: Cm 3, Ft 3, Km 3
