The Elephant Hawk-moth is a medium-sized hawk-moth, on the wing from May to July and active at dusk. It is commonly found in parks and gardens, as well as woodland edges, rough grassland and sand dunes.
3. Given the volume, length and width find the height, surface area, and diagonal of a rectangular prism. 1  V, l and w are known; find h, S and d. 2  h = V / lw. 3  S = 2(lw + lh + wh). 4  d = â(l 2 + w 2 + h 2).
The cross section has the same size and shape as the base, as can be seen in the following diagrams. The surface area of a solid is the total area of all its external faces. To calculate the surface area of a prism we need to: Step 1: Determine the shape of each face. Step 2: Calculate the area of each face. Step 3: Add up all the areas to get the total surface area. We can also use the formula. Surface area of prism = 2 Ã area of base + perimeter of base Ã height. Worksheet to calculate the surface area and volume of a rectangular prism. Example: Calculate the surface area of the following prism. Solution: There are 2 triangles with the base = 4 cm and height = 3 cm.
