Term
prism
Definition
 special solid
Term
bases of a prism
Definition
congruent polygons lying in parallel planes
Term
Altitude of a Prism
Definition

a segment joining the two bases and is perpendicular to both.

*lenghth of an altitude is the height (h) of the prism

Term
Lateral Faces
Definition

the faces of a prism that are not it's bases.  All are parallelograms

(the sides)

Term
Right Prism
Definition
a prism in which the lateral faces are rectangles
Term
Oblique prism
Definition
a prism in which the lateral faces are not rectangles
Term
Lateral Area of a Prism
Definition

the sum of the area of the prism's lateral faces

 

The lateral area of a prism equals the perimeter of a base times the height of the prism

(L.A.=ph)

 

Term
Total Area of a Prism
Definition

the sum of all the face areas of the prism

(T.A.= LA+2B)

Term
Volume of a Prism
Definition

the volume of a prism equals the area of a base times the height of the prism

(V=Bh)

Term
Pyramid
Definition
a polyhedron in which one face (the base) can be any polygon and the other faces (the lateral faces) are triangles that meet at the vertext of the pyramid
Term
Altitude of a Pyramid
Definition

the perpendicular segment from the vertex to the plane of the base

*the length of the altitude is the height (h) of a pyramid

Term
Regular Pyramid
Definition
a pyramid whose base is a regualr polygon (congruent angles and sides) and whose lateral faces are congruent isosceles triangles
Term
Slant Height (l)
Definition
the length of the altitude of the lateral faces of the pyramid
Term
Area of ONE Lateral Face of a Pyramid
Definition

1/2bl

(half of base times length)

Term
Area of a Polygon Base
Definition

1/2ap

(half of the apothem times perimeter)

Term
Lateral Area of a Regular Pyramid
Definition

the lateral area of a regualr pyramid is half the product of the perimeter of the base and the slant height (l)

(L.A.=1/2pl)

or (1/2bl)n  or (1/2nb)l 

*nb=p

 

Term
Surface Area of a Pyramid
Definition

the sum of the lateral area and the area of the base

(S.A.=LA+B)

Term
Volume of a Pyramid
Definition

V=1/3 Bh

(1/3 of area of base times height)

Term
Lateral Area of Cylinder
Definition

the circumference of a base times the height of the cylinder

(L.A.=2πrh)

(circumference x height)

Term
Surface Area of a Cylinder
Definition

SA=LA+2B

(lateral area+ base x 2)

Term
Volume of a Cylinder
Definition

V=Bh

-or-

V=πr2h

(area of base x height)

Term
Lateral Area of a Cone
Definition

that lateral area is half the product of the circumfrence of the base and the slant height (l)

LA=1/2 (2πrl)

*LA=πrl

Term
Surface Area of a Cone
Definition

the sum of the lateral area plus the area of the base(πr2)

SA=LA+B

Term
Volume of a Cone
Definition

V=1/3 (Bh)

-or-

V=1/3 (πr2h)
