Step-by-step solution for: Volume & Surface Area of Prisms | PDF | Volume | Area
Problem Overview:
The task involves calculating the volume and total surface area (T.S.A.) of various prisms. The formulas provided are:
1. Volume of a Prism:
\[
\text{Volume} = \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height}
\]
2. Total Surface Area of a Prism:
\[
\text{T.S.A.} = (\text{Perimeter of Base} \times \text{Height of Prism}) + 2 \times \text{Base Area}
\]
We will solve each part step by step.

Q1: Calculate the volume and total surface area of each prism.
#### (a) Rectangular Prism
- Dimensions: Length = 6 cm, Width = 4 cm, Height = 3 cm
- Base Area:
\[
\text{Base Area} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} = 6 \times 4 = 24 \, \text{cm}^2
\]
- Volume:
\[
\text{Volume} = \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height} = 24 \times 3 = 72 \, \text{cm}^3
\]
- Perimeter of Base:
\[
\text{Perimeter} = 2 \times (\text{Length} + \text{Width}) = 2 \times (6 + 4) = 20 \, \text{cm}
\]
- Total Surface Area:
\[
\text{T.S.A.} = (\text{Perimeter of Base} \times \text{Height}) + 2 \times \text{Base Area} = (20 \times 3) + 2 \times 24 = 60 + 48 = 108 \, \text{cm}^2
\]
Answer for (a):
\[
\boxed{72 \, \text{cm}^3, 108 \, \text{cm}^2}
\]
#### (b) Triangular Prism
- Base: Right triangle with legs 5 cm and 6 cm
- Height of Prism: 20 cm
- Base Area:
\[
\text{Base Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Base} \times \text{Height} = \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times 6 = 15 \, \text{cm}^2
\]
- Volume:
\[
\text{Volume} = \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height} = 15 \times 20 = 300 \, \text{cm}^3
\]
- Perimeter of Base:
The hypotenuse of the right triangle is calculated using the Pythagorean theorem:
\[
\text{Hypotenuse} = \sqrt{5^2 + 6^2} = \sqrt{25 + 36} = \sqrt{61} \, \text{cm}
\]
\[
\text{Perimeter} = 5 + 6 + \sqrt{61} = 11 + \sqrt{61} \, \text{cm}
\]
- Total Surface Area:
\[
\text{T.S.A.} = (\text{Perimeter of Base} \times \text{Height}) + 2 \times \text{Base Area} = (11 + \sqrt{61}) \times 20 + 2 \times 15
\]
\[
\text{T.S.A.} = 220 + 20\sqrt{61} + 30 = 250 + 20\sqrt{61} \, \text{cm}^2
