Section 12-1Prisms
Prism• a 3-dimensional figure with
two congruent, parallel faces•The congruent, parallel faces are called the bases.•The bases lie in parallel planes.
Base
Base
Altitude of a prism• a segment joining the two
base planes; it is perpendicular to both planes
• The length of the altitude is the height of the prism!
altitude
• the faces that are not its bases•In the shape of parallelograms
Lateral faces of a prism
• the parallel segments where adjacent lateral faces intersect
Lateral Edges
Types of prisms1. Right Prism:
– have rectangles for the lateral faces
– Lateral edges are altitudes
2. Oblique prism: – Lateral edges are NOT altitudes
Example of a Right Prism:
Example of an Oblique Prism:
Height
A prism is named by the shape of its
base.
Some Examples of Right Prisms:
Rectangular Prism:
Base
Base
If the edges have equal length then the rectangular
prism is called a cube.
Triangular Prism:
: Pentagonal Prism
Base
Base
Base
Base
Hexagonal Prism:
And the list goes on…..
Base
Base
Lateral area•The sum of the areas of the lateral faces
Theorem 12-1• The lateral area of a right
prism equals the perimeter of a base times the height of the prism.
L.A. = Ph
Total Area• The sum of the areas of all its
faces
T.A. = L.A. + B2
Total AreaLateral Area # of Bases
Area of a Base
volume• The number of cubic units enclosed by a three dimensional object.
Therefore volume is measured in cubic units.
Theorem 12-2• The volume of a right prism equals the area of a base times the height of the prism.
