Lesson 12.2: Surface Areas of Prisms and Cylinders

Key Concepts: Surface Areas of Prisms and Cylinders

Lateral Area of a Prism

L = Ph

where P is the perimeter of the base and h is the height.

Surface Area of a Prism

S = Ph + 2B

where B is the area of one base.

Lateral Area of a Cylinder

L = 2πrh

Surface Area of a Cylinder

S = 2πrh + 2πr²
