Properties of prisms: parallel planes worksheet

Properties of prisms: parallel planes

A prism is a 3D shape with two identical ends and all flat sides. Its cross section is the same all along its length and always the same shape as its ends. The shape of the prism’s ends gives the prism its name (for example, the ends of a hexagonal prism are hexagons). Prisms have parallel planes, which means that they have faces that are parallel to each other (they always stay the same distance apart and will never meet).

Formulas for calculating area and volume of shapes worksheet

Formulas for calculating area and volume of shapes

The quickest way to find the area of a 2D shape is to use a formula. Can you use the right formula to find the areas of these shapes? With 3D shapes we can also find the volume, which
means the quantity of space taken up by the shape. Can you use the right formula to find the volumes of these cuboids?
