Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Surface Area of Prisms and Cylinders
▼
To solve the problem of finding the surface area of each shape in the image, we need to calculate the surface area for prisms and cylinders. Below is a step-by-step explanation for each shape:

---

1. Cylinder


The formula for the surface area of a cylinder is:
\[
\text{Surface Area} = 2\pi r^2 + 2\pi rh
\]
where:
- \( r \) is the radius of the base,
- \( h \) is the height of the cylinder.

#### Given:
- Radius (\( r \)) = 3 cm,
- Height (\( h \)) = 5 cm.

#### Calculation:
\[
\text{Surface Area} = 2\pi (3)^2 + 2\pi (3)(5)
\]
\[
= 2\pi (9) + 2\pi (15)
\]
\[
= 18\pi + 30\pi
\]
\[
= 48\pi \, \text{cm}^2
\]

#### Answer:
\[
\boxed{48\pi}
\]

2. Rectangular Prism


The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is:
\[
\text{Surface Area} = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
\]
where:
- \( l \) is the length,
- \( w \) is the width,
- \( h \) is the height.

#### Given:
- Length (\( l \)) = 6 cm,
- Width (\( w \)) = 4 cm,
- Height (\( h \)) = 3 cm.

#### Calculation:
\[
\text{Surface Area} = 2(6)(4) + 2(6)(3) + 2(4)(3)
\]
\[
= 2(24) + 2(18) + 2(12)
\]
\[
= 48 + 36 + 24
\]
\[
= 108 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

#### Answer:
\[
\boxed{108}
\]

3. Triangular Prism


The formula for the surface area of a triangular prism is:
\[
\text{Surface Area} = \text{Base Area} \times 2 + \text{Perimeter of Base} \times \text{Height of Prism}
\]
For a triangular prism with a right triangle as the base:
- The base area is given by \( \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} \),
- The perimeter of the base is the sum of all sides of the triangle.

#### Given:
- Base of triangle (\( b \)) = 4 cm,
- Height of triangle (\( h_{\text{triangle}} \)) = 3 cm,
- Slant height of triangle (\( s \)) = 5 cm (hypotenuse),
- Height of prism (\( H \)) = 7 cm.

#### Step 1: Calculate the base area.
\[
\text{Base Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 3 = 6 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

#### Step 2: Calculate the perimeter of the base.
\[
\text{Perimeter} = 4 + 3 + 5 = 12 \, \text{cm}
\]

#### Step 3: Calculate the surface area.
\[
\text{Surface Area} = 2 \times \text{Base Area} + \text{Perimeter} \times \text{Height of Prism}
\]
\[
= 2 \times 6 + 12 \times 7
\]
\[
= 12 + 84
\]
\[
= 96 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

#### Answer:
\[
\boxed{96}
\]

4. Rectangular Prism


The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is:
\[
\text{Surface Area} = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
\]

#### Given:
- Length (\( l \)) = 8 cm,
- Width (\( w \)) = 5 cm,
- Height (\( h \)) = 3 cm.

#### Calculation:
\[
\text{Surface Area} = 2(8)(5) + 2(8)(3) + 2(5)(3)
\]
\[
= 2(40) + 2(24) + 2(15)
\]
\[
= 80 + 48 + 30
\]
\[
= 158 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

#### Answer:
\[
\boxed{158}
\]

5. Triangular Prism


The formula for the surface area of a triangular prism is:
\[
\text{Surface Area} = \text{Base Area} \times 2 + \text{Perimeter of Base} \times \text{Height of Prism}
\]

#### Given:
- Base of triangle (\( b \)) = 6 cm,
- Height of triangle (\( h_{\text{triangle}} \)) = 4 cm,
- Slant height of triangle (\( s \)) = 5 cm (hypotenuse),
- Height of prism (\( H \)) = 10 cm.

#### Step 1: Calculate the base area.
\[
\text{Base Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 4 = 12 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

#### Step 2: Calculate the perimeter of the base.
\[
\text{Perimeter} = 6 + 4 + 5 = 15 \, \text{cm}
\]

#### Step 3: Calculate the surface area.
\[
\text{Surface Area} = 2 \times \text{Base Area} + \text{Perimeter} \times \text{Height of Prism}
\]
\[
= 2 \times 12 + 15 \times 10
\]
\[
= 24 + 150
\]
\[
= 174 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

#### Answer:
\[
\boxed{174}
\]

6. Cylinder


The formula for the surface area of a cylinder is:
\[
\text{Surface Area} = 2\pi r^2 + 2\pi rh
\]

#### Given:
- Radius (\( r \)) = 2 cm,
- Height (\( h \)) = 6 cm.

#### Calculation:
\[
\text{Surface Area} = 2\pi (2)^2 + 2\pi (2)(6)
\]
\[
= 2\pi (4) + 2\pi (12)
\]
\[
= 8\pi + 24\pi
\]
\[
= 32\pi \, \text{cm}^2
\]

#### Answer:
\[
\boxed{32\pi}
\]

Final Answers:


1. \( \boxed{48\pi} \)
2. \( \boxed{108} \)
3. \( \boxed{96} \)
4. \( \boxed{158} \)
5. \( \boxed{174} \)
6. \( \boxed{32\pi} \)
