12.2 – Surface Area of Prisms And
Cylinders
Polyhedron with two parallel, congruent bases
Named after its base
Prism:
Surface area:
Sum of the area of each face of
solid
Lateral area:
Area of each lateral face
Right Prism:
Each lateral edge is
perpendicular to both bases
Oblique Prism:
Each lateral edge is NOT
perpendicular to both bases
Cylinder:
Prism with circular bases
Net:
Two-dimensional representation of a solid
