Rectangular Prism

rectangular prism volume surface area

Volume of a rectangular prism can be expressed as

V = l b h         (1)

where

V = volume of solid (m3, ft3)

l = length of rectangular prism (m, ft)

b = width of rectangular prism (m, ft)

h = height of rectangular prism (m, ft)

Surface of a rectangular prism can be expressed as

A = 2 (b h + h l + l b)         (1b)

where

A = surface area of solid (m2, ft2)

Cylinder

cylinder volume surface area

Volume of a cylinder can be expressed as

V = π r2 h         (2)

where

r = radius of cylinder (m, ft)

h = height of cylinder (m, ft)

Surface of a cylinder can be expressed as

A = 2 π r h + 2 π r2         (2b)

radius

height

Pyramid

pyramid volume surface area

Volume of a pyramid can be expressed as

V = 1/3 h Ab         (3)

where

Ab = area of base (m2, ft2)

h = perpendicular height of pyramid (m, ft)

Surface of a cylinder can be expressed as

A = ∑ sum of areas of triangles forming sides + Ab         (3b)

where

the surface areas of the triangular faces will have different formulas for different shaped bases

area of base

perpendicular height

Cone

cone volume surface area

Volume of a cone can be expressed as

V = 1/3 π r2 h         (4)

where

r = radius of cone base (m, ft)

h = height of cone (m, ft)

Surface of a cone can be expressed as

A = π r l + π r2         (4b)

where

l = (r2 + h2)1/2 = length of cone side (m, ft)

radius
