Definition
| the total area (TA)of a prism can be found by adding the area of the two bases (BA) of a prism, to the area of all teh lateral faces (LA) of the prism. This is represented by a very general formula TA = LA +BA. which will apply to all prisms, regardless of the base. Takes place of perimeter in 2D polygons |

Definition
| intuitvely the number of non overlapping unit cubes, and parts of unit cubes, which will fit in the interior of a three D geometric figure. Takes place of area in 2D polygons. from Latin volumin--a roll of parchment |

Definition
| formally the volume V of a prism can be found by multiplying the area of a base B of the prism, by the measure of the altitude h of the prism. This is represented by a very general formula, V = B time h. which will apply to all prisms regardless of the base |
