Polyhedra • Polyhedron – Solid with all flat surfaces that enclose a single region of space. Basically, just a 3 D figure whose sides are polygons. • Face – “side” of the polyhedron.
Prism • Prism – A polyhedron with two congruent parallel faces. • The parallel faces are the bases of the prism. • Faces – The sides OTHER THAN the bases. • Prisms are named by their bases.
Types of Prisms Right prism: A prism whose lateral edges are altitudes Oblique prism: A prism whose lateral edges are not altitudes
Pyramid • Pyramid – A polyhedron that has all its faces (except one) intersecting at a point. • Pyramids are named by their base.
Name each polyhedra 4. 5.
Surface Area • To find surface area of a prism, find the sum of the areas of all the faces of the prism. • Net: A pattern for a three-dimensional solid • Lateral faces: Rectangular faces that are not the bases • Lateral edges: the parallel line segments formed when lateral faces meet
NET I = NET II
