6.3.1.1
Calculate the surface area and volume of prisms and use appropriate units, such as cm2 and cm3. Justify the formulas used. Justification may involve decomposition, nets or other models.
Example Problems
A hexagonal prism has a base area of 18 square units and a volume of 450 cubic units. What is the height of the prism?
A pentagonal prism has a base area of 11 square units and a volume of 330 cubic units. What is the height of the prism?
A pentagonal prism has a base area of 32 square units and a volume of 512 cubic units. What is the height of the prism?
