LEARNING OBJECTIVES
After interacting with this software a
learner will be able to:
Identify & define prism,pyramid.
Differentiate between prism,pyramid
Calculate surface area of prism,pyramid.
Calculate volume of prism,pyramid.
DEFINITION OF POLYHEDRON
A polygon is a two-dimensional shape bounded by straight line segments. A
polygon is said to be regular if the edges are of equal length and meet at
equal angles
A polyhedron is a three-dimensional figure bounded by polygons
For example :
Prism ,Pyramids ,Cubes ,Tetrahedron
Pyramid
Cube
Tetrahedron
POLYHEDRON
In general for every polyhedron
:
Lateral surface area =Perimeter of base * height
Volume =Area of base *height
RIGHT PRISM :
A right prism is a solid formed by plane faces such that
its bases are parallel and congruent polygons, while the
lateral faces are all rectangles.

RIGHT TRIANGULAR PRISM
In right triangular prism base is equilateral triangle& height is the
distance between two bases.
Lateral surface area = Perimeter of base X height
`a = side of base
`h = height of prism
L.S.A. = 3a * h
Base is

PYRAMID
A Pyramid is a solid figure formed by plane faces one of
which called the base, is any rectilinear figure ,& the
rest are triangles having a common vertex at a point
outside the plane of the base.
vertex
Triangular face
Rectilinear base
RIGHT PYRAMID
In right pyramid line segment OG joining vertex to
the centroid of the base ,is perpendicular to the
base ABC.
O
`OG is the height(h) of
the pyramid.
`OM is the slant
height(l),the length of the
line segment joining the
mid-point of any side of
base.
