How to find the surface area of a:
- triangular prism

- and a cylinder
-rectangular prism

















Triangular Prism:
b times h divided by 2


TSA: 36+36+45+50+40
TSA: 207 cm squared

















Rectangular prism:
TSA: 2(T+F+S)
TSA:2(60+50+30)
TSA: 2(140)
TSA: 280 m squared


























Cylinder:

TSA: circle+circle+rectangle

TSA: 50.24+50.24+301.44
TSA= 401.92 mm squared

Volume:
To find the volume of a triangular prism you use the formula Base times Height divided by 2 times the height.
for example 6cm times 3cm dived by 2 times 13cm.you would first times 6cm by 3 cm which is 18cm then divide 18cm by 2 which is 9cm
the you would go 18 times the height which is 13 and you would get the number
234 cm cubed


Volume of a cylinder?
The formula you would use is pie r squared


Volume of a rectangular prism?
Formula length times the width times the height.


















how to find out a volume with a fraction?
you would first find the volume by base times height divided by two times the height.
then when you get your final answer you would convert your fraction into a decimal and multiply your total answer by the decimal to get your final answer.

  1. I am very much impressed by your post and I want to clear some of my doubts regarding the area of rectangle,so I am giving some of my views about it.Hope you will help me - The area of a rectangle is the product of its width and length.
