10-4 Surface Area of Prisms and Cylinders
The surface area of the composite figure is the sum of the areas of all surfaces on the exterior of the figure.
Example 3 Continued
S = (rectangular prism surface area) + (triangular prism surface area) – 2(rectangular prism base area)
S = 52 + 36 – 2(8) = 72 cm2

Find the surface area of the composite figure. Round to the nearest tenth.
The surface area of the rectangular prism is
S =Ph + 2B = 26(5) + 2(36) = 202 cm2.
The surface area of the cylinder is
S =Ph + 2B = 2(2)(3) + 2(2)2 = 20 ≈ 62.8 cm2.
The surface area of the composite figure is the sum of the areas of all surfaces on the exterior of the figure.

S = (rectangular surface area) +
(cylinder surface area) – 2(cylinder base area)
S = 202 + 62.8 — 2()(22) = 239.7 cm2

Example 4 Continued
original dimensions: edge length tripled:
Notice than 3456 = 9(384). If the length, width, and height are tripled, the surface area is multiplied by 32, or 9.
S = 6ℓ2
= 6(8)2 = 384 cm2
S = 6ℓ2
= 6(24)2 = 3456 cm2

A piece of ice shaped like a 5 cm by 5 cm by 1 cm rectangular prism has approximately the same volume as the pieces below. Compare the surface areas. Which will melt faster?
The 5 cm by 5 cm by 1 cm prism has a surface area of 70 cm2, which is greater than the 2 cm by 3 cm by4 cm prism and about the same as the half cylinder. It will melt at about the same rate as the half cylinder.
