Cube. A prism with six congruent faces.
Opposite faces are parallel.
6 Faces (each face is a square)
12 Edges
8 Vertices (corner points)
The surface area of a cube is the area of the six squares that cover it. (Surface Area = 6 a²)
Volume of a cube = a³ (Volume=side times side times side).
Cube Net
Rectangular Prism. A prism with rectangular bases.
Opposite faces are parallel.
6 Faces (each face is a rectangle)
12 Edges
8 Vertices
The surface area of a rectangular prism is the area of the six rectangles that cover it.
Surface Area = 2wl + 2 hl + 2hw
Volume = l w h (volume=length*width*height)

Volume of a Rectangular Prismd
Triangular Prism. A prism with triangular bases.
Only the bases are parallel.
5 Faces
9 Edges
6 vertices
Surface area of a triangular prism = area of the three rectangles + area of two triangles
A formula that works for all prisms is:
Lateral area = perimeter of the base times the height of the prism

Square Pyramid. A pyramid with a square base.
5 Faces (4 Side Faces are Triangles, the Base is a Square)
8 Edges
5 Vertices
Triangular Pyramid. A pyramid with a triangular base.
4 Faces (3 Side Faces are Triangles, the Base is a Triangle)
6 Edges

Volume: measure of the amount of space inside of a solid figure
Surface Area: The total area of the outside surfaces of an object. (The surface area is the sum of each of the sides)
