Lesson 3

A cross section is the shape


made by cutting straight
across an object.

Rectangular Prism

Hexagonal Prism

Pentagonal Prism Triangular Prism


The side faces of a prism are parallelograms
(4-sided shape with opposite sides parallel)

The bases are


also parallel.
But if the two ends are not
parallel it is not a prism
For example, a cylinder is not a prism, because it has
curved sides.
A B C D
A square prism Prisms are named according
B triangular prism to the shape of their bases
C hexagonal prism or uniform cross-section .

1. Identify the shape of the base or the
uniform cross-section.
2. Find the area of the base or the uniform
cross-section.
3. Multiply the base area or area of uniform
cross-section by the height / length.
Volume = base area x height
Volume = area of cross-section x height / length
