Surface Area

The sum of the area of all the faces of a polyhedron

Prism A polyhedron with exactly two congruent, parallel faces

called bases. Any other faces are the lateral faces.

Lateral Area: Sum of the areas of the lateral faces (more than 2 of same shape)

Surface Area: Sum of the lateral area and the two bases.

Cylinder Has two congruent parallel bases like a prism, but the

bases are circles. Altitude of a cylinder is the perpendicular segment

that joins the bases. The height (h) of a cylinder is the length of the

altitude.

Lateral Area: The area of the “curved surface”.

Determine the surface area of the pyramid below

Cone Pointed like a pyramid, but its base is a circle. Altitude, of a right cone, is a perpendicular segment

from the vertex to the center of the base. Height (h): the length of the altitude. Slant Height (s ): the distance from the vertex to a

point on the edge of the base.

Lateral area: an ice cream cone

Surface Area: the sum of the lateral area and the base(circle)
