Square Prism/Square Cuboid Tutorial

  

Square Prism/Square Cuboid Definition:
     A Square Prism is a right prism with square bases.

Square Prism/Square Cuboid Formula :
Area of Base(A) = s²
Perimeter of Base(P) = 4s
Surface Area of Prism = 2s² + 4sh = 2A + Ph
Volume of Prism = s²h = Ah
where
        s = side, h = height.

Square Prism/Square Cuboid Example :
Case 1: Find the surface area and volume of a square prism with the given side 2 and height 4.

  Step 1: Find the area of the base.
            Area of the base(A) = s² = 2² = 4.

  Step 2: Find the perimeter of the base.
            Perimeter of the base(P) = 4s = 4 * 2 = 8.

  Step 3: Find the surface area of prism.
            Surface Area of Prism = 2A + Ph = (2 * 4) + (8 * 4) = 8 + 32 = 40.

  Step 4: Find the volume of prism.
            Volume of Prism = Ah = 4 * 4 = 16.

The above example will clearly illustrates how to calculate the Volume, Surface Area, Perimeter of a Square Prism/Square Cuboid manually.
