In general, it can be said that all polygons can become prisms in 3D and hence their total surface areas can be calculated. There are many different types of prisms that obey the rules and formula mentioned above. The length may be the height, depending on the orientation of the prism.The total surface area of a prism is the sum of twice its base area and the product of the perimeter of the base and the height of the prism. , The volume of a prism is the area of the cross-section multiplied by the length. In the formula the words, area of the cross section are coloured orange. The words, length, length or height are coloured blue. Each cross section of the prism is coloured orange. Written below, a key: orange equals the area of the cross section. Written above, the formula: volume equals area of cross section multiplied by length. The height of the prism has been marked with an arrow and labelled, length or height. The fourth image is an upright, hexagonal prism and has a hexagon for its cross section. The length of the prism has been marked with an arrow and labelled, length. The third image is a hexagonal prism and has a hexagon for its cross section. The second image is a pentagonal prism and has a pentagon for its cross section. The first image is a triangular prism and has an equilateral triangle for its cross section.

A prism with a pentagon-shaped cross-section is a pentagonal prism. A prism with a triangle-shaped cross-section is a triangular prism. The polygon shape of the cross-section may be used to name the prism. That means that the cross-section is the same throughout the length of the prism. There is a red cross next to the cylinder. The triangular and pentagonal cross sections are coloured green. There is a green tick next to the triangular and pentagonal prisms. The fourth image is a cylinder and has a circle for its cross section. The third image is a pentagonal prism and has a pentagon for its cross section. The second image has an equilateral triangle for its cross section. The first image has a right angled triangle for its cross section. The first and second images are triangular prisms. Each image shows a three dimensional shape. Previous image Next image Slide 1 of 9, A series of four images.
