Creating Objects from Nets

A net is a diagram that can be folded to enclose a 3-D object or polyhedron. A net shows all the faces of an object. The faces are all polygons. Two faces meet at an edge. Three or more edges meet at a vertex.

Polyhedron is named for its bases. Prisms have two congruent bases. The other faces are rectangles that are congruent to the bases. Ex)

Pyramids have a polygon base. The other faces are triangles. Ex)

Other polyhedrons include:

You should be familiar with the nets of these 3D shapes.

4.3 Surface area of a Right Rectangular Prism The surface area of a right rectangular prism is the sum of the areas of all its faces. It helps to draw a net of the prism. The net of a rectangular prism consists of six rectangles. These rectangles are not all different. There will be three pairs of congruent rectangles. (Front & Back, Two sides, Top & Bottom) Ex) Calculate the surface area of the following rectangular prism:

C C

B A

12 cm

5 cm C 4 cm

A 4 12 48 cm 2 B 5 12 60 cm 2 C 4 5 20 cm 2

Surface Area = 2 48 + 2 60 + 2 20 = 96 + 120 + 40 = 256 cm2 Discuss how this question would change if the prism was a box with no lid, a room with only walls painted, etc.

4.4 Surface area of a Triangular Prism Triangular Prism Five faces: 3 rectangles and 2 triangles The two triangles are congruent. base height The area of a triangle is . The base and height of a triangle meet at right 2 angles. The rectangles can be all the same, two of them can be the same or all different. It depends on the triangle.

4.5 Volume of a Right Rectangular Prism Volume is the amount of space filled by a three dimensional object. The volume of a prism will depend on the area of the base and its height. To find the volume of any prism you multiply the area of its base by its height:

Since the base of any rectangular prism is a rectangle, to find its volume you multiply the length, width and height together. Volume is always measured in cubic units.

Vprism Areabase height prism Bh

The base of a triangular prism is a triangle. Therefore the volume is the area of the triangle multiplied by the height of the prism. The base and height of the triangle will always meet at right angles.
