Vocabulary
Volume is the number of cubic units needed to fill a space. V = lwh
Ex:Volume is expressed in cubic units, so the volume of the prism is 5 cm · 2 cm · 3 cm = 30 cm3.

FYI
To find the volume of any prism, you can use the formula V= Bh, where B is the area of the base, and h is the prism’s height.

Vocabulary
The surface area of a three-dimensional figure is the sum of the areas of its surfaces. To help you see all the surfaces of a three-dimensional figure, you can use a net. A net is the pattern made when the surface of a three-dimensional figure is layed out flat showing each face of the figure.

FYI
The surface area of a pyramid equals the sum of the area of the base and the areas of the triangular faces. To find the surface area of a pyramid, think of its net.

FYI
The surface area of a cylinder equals the sum of the area of its bases and the area of its curved surface.
To find the area of the curved surface of a cylinder, multiply its height by the circumference of the base.
