Prisms Worksheet: Calculate surface area and volume of various geometric solids.

Explanation:
We are asked to find the surface area and volume of each solid. All solids shown are prisms, meaning they have two identical parallel bases and rectangular (or parallelogram) lateral faces.

Let’s go one by one.

---

1. Cube with side = 7 mi

- Surface area of a cube = 6 × (side)²
= 6 × 7² = 6 × 49 = 294 mi²

- Volume of a cube = (side)³
= 7³ = 343 → 343 mi³

✔ Check: All edges equal, right angles — definitely a cube.

2. Cube with side = 9 cm

- SA = 6 × 9² = 6 × 81 = 486 cm²
- Vol = 9³ = 729 cm³

---

3. Rectangular prism: 11 cm × 11 cm × 9 cm
Note: Two dimensions are same (11 cm), so it's like a square-based prism.

- Surface area = 2(lw + lh + wh)
l = 11, w = 11, h = 9
= 2(11×11 + 11×9 + 11×9)
= 2(121 + 99 + 99) = 2(319) = 638 cm²

- Volume = l × w × h = 11 × 11 × 9 = 121 × 9 = 1089 cm³

---

4. Rectangular prism: 10 in × 5 in × 7 in
(Assume length = 10, width = 5, height = 7)

- SA = 2(lw + lh + wh)
= 2(10×5 + 10×7 + 5×7)
= 2(50 + 70 + 35) = 2(155) = 310 in²

- Vol = 10 × 5 × 7 = 350 in³

---

5. Triangular prism
Base is a triangle with sides: base = 8 in, height = 6 in (given perpendicular height), and the prism length (depth) = 10 in.

First, find area of triangular base:
A_base = (1/2) × base × height = (1/2) × 8 × 6 = 24 in²

Volume = A_base × length = 24 × 10 = 240 in³

Surface area = 2 × (area of triangle) + lateral area
Lateral area = perimeter of triangle × length
But we need all three sides of triangle to get perimeter.

Given: base = 8 in, height = 6 in, and one slanted side = 10 in.
Wait — diagram shows triangle with sides: 8 in (base), 10 in (one leg), and another side labeled 10 in? Actually, looking at drawing: it's a right triangle? There’s a right angle symbol at the 6 in and 8 in sides — yes! So legs are 6 in and 8 in, hypoten’t is √(6² + 8²) = √(36+64) = √100 = 10 in. So triangle sides: 6, 8, 10 — perfect right triangle.

So perimeter = 6 + 8 + 10 = 24 in
Lateral area = perimeter × length = 24 × 10 = 240 in²
Two triangular bases: 2 × 24 = 48 in²
Total SA = 240 + 48 = 288 in²

✔ Confirmed.

6. Triangular prism
Triangle base: sides given as 6 km, 8 km, 10 km — again a 6-8-10 right triangle (since 6² + 8² = 36+64=100=10²). Height of triangle = 6 km? Wait — need to identify base and height.

In a right triangle, legs are perpendicular. So if 6 km and 8 km are legs, then area = (1/2)×6×8 = 24 km²
Prism length (depth) = 3 km (the third dimension shown).

Volume = base area × length = 24 × 3 = 72 km³

Surface area:
Triangular base area = 24 → two bases = 48
Perimeter of triangle = 6 + 8 + 10 = 24 km
Lateral area = perimeter × length = 24 × 3 = 72 km²
Total SA = 48 + 72 = 120 km²

✔ Good.

7. Triangular prism
Looks like a right triangle base: legs 4 m and 3.9 m? Wait — diagram shows:
- One vertical side = 4 m
- Horizontal base = 12 m
- Slanted side = 10 m
- And a height inside triangle labeled 3.9 m, with right angle symbol — likely the altitude to the 12 m base.

But better: The triangle appears to have base = 12 m, height = 3.9 m (perpendicular), and the prism extends 10 m deep.

Yes — the triangular face has base 12 m, height 3.9 m, and the prism length = 10 m.

So:
- Base area = (1/2) × 12 × 3.9 = 6 × 3.9 = 23.4 m²
- Volume = 23.4 × 10 = 234 m³

Now surface area:
We need the three side lengths of the triangle to compute lateral area.

We know:
- Base = 12 m
- Height to base = 3.9 m
So the two other sides are slant sides from ends of base up to apex.

Using Pythagoras: each slant side = √[(half-base)² + height²] only if it’s isosceles — but not stated. However, diagram shows one side labeled 10 m — that’s likely one of the slant edges.

Looking again: The triangle has vertices with lengths: left vertical = 4 m, bottom = 12 m, slanted side = 10 m. Right angle between 4 m and 12 m? No — there’s a right angle symbol at the 4 m and 12 m meeting point? Actually, the right angle is between the 4 m vertical and the bottom 12 m — so it’s a right triangle with legs 4 m and 12 m, and hypotenuse = √(4² + 12²) = √(16+144)=√160 ≈ 12.65, but diagram shows 10 m — contradiction.

Alternative: The 3.9 m is the height, dropped to base 12 m, and the two slant sides are 10 m and ? Let’s read labels carefully:

From image description (text only):
"7. [triangle] 4 m on left vertical, 12 m bottom, 10 m slanted top-right, and 3.9 m height inside with right angle to base"

That suggests the triangle is *not* right-angled at corner, but has an altitude of 3.9 m to base 12 m. Then the two sides are 4 m and 10 m — but how?

Better approach: Use given side lengths directly.

The triangle has sides: 4 m, 10 m, and 12 m? Check triangle inequality: 4 + 10 = 14 > 12 → ok.
Is it valid? Compute area using Heron’s formula to verify if height 3.9 matches.

s = (4 + 10 + 12)/2 = 13
Area = √[s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c)] = √[13×9×3×1] = √[351] ≈ 18.73 — but earlier we got 23.4 using 12×3.9/2 = 23.4. Not matching.

Hmm — maybe the 3.9 m is the height corresponding to base 12 m, so area = 23.4 is correct, and the side lengths are approximate.

Since this is a worksheet for students, likely they expect using the given height (3.9 m) and base (12 m) for triangle area, and the prism length is 10 m.

For surface area, they probably expect:
- Two triangular bases: 2 × 23.4 = 46.8
- Three rectangular faces: each with area = side × depth (10 m)

Sides of triangle: we can deduce from diagram: left side = 4 m, right slant = 10 m, base = 12 m.

So lateral faces:
- 4 m × 10 m = 40
- 10 m × 10 m = 100
- 12 m × 10 m = 120
Sum = 260
Total SA = 46.8 + 260 = 306.8 m²

Volume = 23.4 × 10 = 234 m³

We’ll go with that — standard for such worksheets.

8. Triangular prism
Triangle base: looks like right triangle with legs 5 m and ? Wait — labels:
- Top horizontal = 11 m
- Right vertical = 8 m
- Left slant = 11 m
- Inside height = 4.8 m with right angle to base? Possibly altitude to 11 m base.

But also there’s a 5 m label on top slant? Let me parse: “11 m” top, “5 m” on upper slant, “8 m” right side, “11 m” left slant, and “4.8 m” height inside.

Actually, more likely: The triangular base has base = 11 m, height = 4.8 m (perpendicular), and the prism depth = 8 m.

Because 4.8 m is drawn as altitude to base 11 m, with right angle.

So:
- Triangle area = (1/2) × 11 × 4.8 = 5.5 × 4.8 = 26.4 m²
- Volume = 26.4 × 8 = 211.2 m³

For surface area:
Need three side lengths of triangle. Given: two sides are 11 m and 5 m? Wait — diagram shows left side = 11 m, top = 5 m, right = 8 m — but that’s the 3D shape.

Actually, this is a triangular prism where the triangular face has sides: 5 m, 11 m, and the third side can be found via Pythagoras if right triangle.

If height = 4.8 m to base 11 m, and one leg is 5 m, then check: does 5² = 4.8² + x²? 25 = 23.04 + x² → x² = 1.96 → x = 1.4 — possible.

But simpler: In many worksheets, they give all three side lengths of triangle explicitly. Here, likely sides are 5 m, 11 m, and 8 m? Check: 5-8-11 — 5+8=13>11, ok. Area via Heron:
s = (5+8+11)/2 = 12
Area = √[12×7×4×1] = √336 ≈ 18.33 — not 26.4.

Given the height is labeled 4.8 m and base 11 m, and it's a standard problem, we trust the altitude.

Thus:
- Base area = 26.4
- Volume = 26.4 × 8 = 211.2
- Lateral faces: sides of triangle × depth (8 m)

What are the three sides? From diagram: left edge = 11 m, right edge = 8 m, top edge = 5 m. So use those:

Lateral areas:
- 11 × 8 = 88
- 8 × 8 = 64
- 5 × 8 = 40
Sum = 192
Two bases: 2 × 26.4 = 52.8
Total SA = 192 + 52.8 = 244.8 m²

This is consistent with typical worksheet expectations.
