I always thought a prism was a solid triangular shaped piece of glass that made rainbows when the light shined through it. Well, that is a prism, but that is only one example of a prism, as prisms are three-dimensional solids of a...

There are several pieces to this problem. But luckily all the necessary pieces are here. There are five variables and three different formulas to use to get the solutions. The instructor diagrams the triangular prism and labels the...

What are lateral faces? How do you find the area of all the lateral faces? What to do with the perimeter of the base? Then what do you do with those values? You use it to help determine the total lateral area of a rectangle. Yes, more...

There are three formulas that need to be used to solve this problem. The formula for the lateral area of a cylinder, the formula for the circular base of the cylinder, and then the formula for the surface area. It seems like quite a bit,...

By watching this tutorial you can learn about the formula for the surface area of a prism and see it used in an example. [9:35]

A prism is a special kind of three-dimensional solid. This tutorial defines the term prism and shows you how to name one using the shape of its bases. [2:12]
