Lateral Area If a prism has a lateral area of L square units, a height of h units,
of a Prism and each base has a perimeter of P units, then L = Ph.
Surface Area If a prism has a surface area of S square units, a lateral area of
L square units, and each base has an area of B square units,
of a Prism
then S = L + 2B or S = Ph + 2B
Example: Find the lateral and surface area of the regular pentagonal prism above if each base has a perimeter of
75 centimeters and the height is 10 centimeters.
L = Ph Lateral area of a prism S = L + 2B
= 75 (10) P = 75, h = 10 = 750 + 2
= 750 Multiply.

Lateral Area If a cylinder has a lateral area of L square units, a height of h units, and a base
of a Cylinder has a radius of r units, then L = 2rh.
Surface Area If a cylinder has a surface area of S square units, a height of h units, and a
of a Cylinder base has a radius of r units, then S = L + 2B or 2rh + 2r2.
Example: Find the lateral and surface area of the cylinder. Round to the nearest tenth.
If d = 12 cm, then r = 6 cm.
L = 2rh Lateral area of a cylinder
= 2(6)(14) r = 6, h = 14
