In this section, we will:
1. Calculate surface areas and volumes of right prisms
and cylinders.
2. Study the effect on the surface areas and volumes
when multiplying any of the dimensions by a factor .

3. Calculate volumes and surface areas of right prisms,


right cones, right pyramids, spheres and
combinations of these figures.

Terminology
1. A polyhedron is a three dimensional figure with four or more flat
surfaces.
2. A Platonic solid is a regular polyhedron made up of congruent faces.
3. Congruent shapes are identical shapes (exactly the same shape and
same size).
4. A right prism is a polyhedron that has a pair of congruent bases which
are parallel to each other and the bases are also perpendicular to the
lateral/side faces.
5. A cylinder is a prism with circular bases.
6. A pyramid is a polyhedron with a polygon as a base.
The side faces are triangles that meet at the apex.
7. A cone has a circular base and an apex.
6. Apex is the highest point of a solid (only cones and pyramids have an apex).
7. Perpendicular height refers to the perpendicular distance between the top
face or the apex of the solid and the base.
8. Slant height of cone is the distance from the apex to any point on the
circumference of the base.
9. Slant height of pyramid is the distance from the apex along a lateral face
to the midpoint of an edge of the base.
10.Volume is a measure of how much space a solid occupies.
11. Total surface area (TSA) refers to the area covered by the surface of the
figure. It is the sum of the areas of all the faces of a figure.
12.Frustum (of cone and pyramid) is the bottom portion of a cone or pyramid
which remains after its upper part has been cut off by a plane parallel to its
base.
