IntroductionTopic dealing with the use of formulae to calculate Perimeters, Areas and Volumes of plain shapes and solid ones (prisms).
Plane:A plane is a flat surface (think tabletop) that extends forever in all directions.It is a two-dimensional figure.Three non-collinear points determine a plane.So far, all of the geometry we’ve done in these lessons took place in a plane.But objects in the real world are three-dimensional, so we will have to leave the plane and talk about objects like spheres, boxes, cones, and cylinders.
Solid: Geometric figure in three dimensionsSurface Area: Total area of all the surfaces of a solid shape or prism.Volume: This is the space occupied by a solid shape or prism.

AREA The perimeter
of a shape is a measure of distance around the outside.
The area of a shape is a measure of the surface/space contained within its perimeter.

Area of a Triangle
rectangle area = 2 + 2 triangle area = ½ rectangle area
base
height
Area of a triangle = ½ base x height
The area of a triangle = ½ the area of the surrounding rectangle/parallelogram

Three Dimensional GeometryThree-dimensional figures, or solids, can be made up of flat or curved surfaces. Each flat surface is called a face. An edge is the segment that is the intersection of two faces. A vertex is the point that is the intersection of three or more faces.

BoxesA box (also called a right parallelepiped) is just what the name box suggests. One is shown to the right.A box has six rectangular faces, twelve edges, and eight vertices.A box has a length, width, and height (or base, height, and depth).These three dimensions are marked in the figure.
LW
H
The volume of a three-dimensional object measures the amount of “space” the object takes up.Volume can be thought of as a capacity and units for volume include cubic centimeters (cm3) cubic yards, and gallons.The surface area of a three-dimensional object is, as the name suggests, the area of its surface.

Volume and Surface Area of a BoxThe volume of a box is found by multiplying its three dimensions together:
LW
H
V L W H
Example
Find the volume and surface area of the box shown.The volume is
The surface area is
The surface area of a box is found by adding the areas of its six rectangular faces. Since we already know how to find the area of a rectangle, no formula is necessary.

Cube A cube is a box with three equal dimensions (length = width = height). Since a cube is a box, the same formulas for volume and surface area hold. If s denotes the length of an edge of a cube, then its volume is s3 and its surface area is 6s2.
A cube is a prism with six square faces. Other prisms and pyramids are named for the shape of their bases.

Prisms
A prism is a three-dimensional solid with two congruent bases that lie in parallel planes, one directly above the other, and with edges connecting the corresponding vertices of the bases.The bases can be any shape and the name of the prism is based on the name of the bases.For example, the prism shown at right is a triangular prism.The volume of a prism is found by multiplying the area of its base by its height.The surface area of a prism is found by adding the areas of all of its polygonal faces including its bases.

Solution
(a)T. S. A. = Area of the 2 triangles + Area of rectangle 1 + Area of rectangle 2
+ Area of rectangle 3 = 2 (½ x 6 x 8) + (6 x 5.5) + (10 x 5.5) + (8 x 5.5)
= (2 x 24) + 33 + 55 + 44 = 48 + 33 + 55 + 44
Therefore T. S. A. = 180cm²
(b) V = Base area x height = 24 x 5.5 V = 132cm³

A triangular prism has a base in form of a right-angled triangle, with sides 6cm, 8cm and 10cm. If the height of the prism is 5.5cm, sketch the prism and calculate, (a) its total surface area, (b) its volume.
Example
CylindersA cylinder is a prism in which the bases are circles.The volume of a cylinder is the area of its base times its height:

Surface Area = 2 x x 3(3 + 8)

Pyramids
A pyramid is a three-dimensional solid with one polygonal base and with line segments connecting the vertices of the base to a single point somewhere above the base.
There are different kinds of pyramids depending on what shape the base is. To the right is a rectangular pyramid.
To find the volume of a pyramid, multiply one-third the area of its base by its height.
To find the surface area of a pyramid, add the areas of all of its faces.
