Example 1 Identify Solids A

This geometry chapter discusses identifying solids and calculating surface areas and volumes of prisms. Example 1 identifies a hexagonal prism based on its hexagonal bases and faces. Example 2 calculates the surface area of a triangular prism as 24 square meters and its volume as 168 cubic meters. Example 3 calculates the surface area of a rectangular pool as 6,189 square feet and its reduced volume as 9,499 cubic feet when filled to a depth of 4.5 feet instead of the full 5 feet.

Example 1 Identify Solids
Identify each solid. Name the bases, faces, edes, and !ertices.
a. The bases are hexagons. So this is a hexagonal prism.
Bases: hexagon ABCDEF; hexagon UVWX!
