Volume (V) and Surface Area (SA) Formulas
Note:  Surface area formulas may need to be amended if the figure has "open" surfaces,
such as when working with a box without a lid or with a soup can without a top.

Volume is measured in "cubic units".
Surface area is measured in "square units".

All of the information on this page pertains to "right" solids,
where when placed on their bases, the second congruent base will be directly above the first base.

	Right Rectangular Prism
	Right Square Prism (Cube) s = length of side
Right Triangular Prism	Right Prism (all forms) B = area of base; h = prism height (or depth) SA = 2B + ph B = area of base, p = perimeter of base, h = prism height
	Right Pyramid (all forms) B = area of base; h = pyramid height SA = sum of area of all faces. If base is a "regular" polygon, SA = B + ½ ph B = area of base, p = perimeter of base, h = slant height
	Right Circular Cylinder This formula assumes a "closed container" with a top and bottom.
	Sphere
	Right Circular Cone This formula assumes a "closed container", with a bottom.
