Surface Area Vocabulary

Vocabulary centered around the study of surface area preparatory to study of 2-D and 3-D

AB
prisma polyhedron with two congruent faces that lie in parallel planes, where the other faces are parallelograms.
basescongruent faces that lie in parallel planes
lateral facesparallelograms formed by connecting th ecorreesponding vertices of bases in a prism.
right prisma prism where each lateral edge is perpendicular to both bases.
oblique prismsPrisms that have lateral edges that are not perpendicular to the bases.
surface area of a polyhedronThe sum of the areas of the faces.
lateral area of a polyhedronThe sum of the areas of the lateral faces
netThe two-dimensional representation of all of a prism's faces.
cylinderA solid with congruent circular bases that lie in parallel planes.
right cylinderA cylinder where the segment joining the centers of the bases is perpendicular to the bases.
lateral area of a cylinderThe area of a cylinder's curved surface and equal to the product of the circumference and the height.
surface area of a cylinderEqual to the sum of the lateral area and the areas of the two bases.
Theorem: Surface Area of a Right PrismS = 2B + Ph, where B is the area of a base, P is the perimeter of a base, and h is the height.
Theorem: Surface Area of a Right CylinderS = 2B + Ch, where B is the area of a base, C is the circumference of a base, r is the radius of a base, and h is the height.
pyramidA polyhedron in which the base is a polygon and the lateral faces are triangles with a common vertex.
lateral edgeThe intersection of two lateral faces of a pyramid.
base edgeThe intersection of the base of a pyramid and a lateral face.
altitude or heightThe perpendicular distance between the base and the vertex
regular pyramidThis has a regular polygon for a base and its height meets the base at its center.
slant height of a regular pyramidThe altitude of any lateral face.
circular coneThis has a circular base and a vertex that is not in the same plane as the base.
right coneThe height meets the base at its center
slant height of a right coneThe distance between the vertex and a point on the base edge
lateral surface of a coneall segments that connect the vertex with points on the base edge
Theorem: Surface Area of a Regular PyramidS = B +1/2(Pl), where B is the area of the base, P is the perimeter of the base, and l is the slant height
Theorem: Surface Area of a Right ConeS = (pi)r-squared + (pi)rl, where r is the radius of the base and l is the slant height
