What about the surface area of cylinders? If you ever want to gift-wrap some toilet paper (after the apocalypse, when rainforests are gone and paper is more expensive than diamonds), you'll need to know this one. We didn't even need chicken noodle soup beat the trapezoidal prism flu. Don't forget there are two bases in the mix.
Plug it in, plug it in.įinally, we can find our surface area. The base of the rectangle is 5 and the base of the triangle is 3. If we find the area of both and add them, we'll get the area of the base. The trapezoid is just a rectangle and a triangle together. We know our height, so we can find the lateral area. Now we can find P, which is just the perimeter of the trapezoid. Thankfully, we know the other two sides and the Pythagorean Theorem. We're missing one crucial side of P: the hypotenuse of the right triangle. Some say it's right before Q, but those might just be rumors. We know that the area of a rectangle is bh and in this case, our b is really a P (the perimeter of the trapezoidal base). We'll start with the lateral area, which is basically a big rectangle. We can find the surface area with all the formulas we know. Sounds more like a disease than a shape ("I have the trapezoidal prism flu!"). We'll go through it and you'll see what we mean.hopefully. The ways to calculate L and B for cylinders and prisms are as different as night and later that night. Since the bases are congruent, they're identical.
VOLUME OF A TRAPEZOIDAL PRISM PLUS
The surface area SA equals the lateral area L plus the area of the two bases. Lateral area is part of surface area, but it doesn't tell the whole story. We've calculated the lateral area for both prisms and cylinders.
