Rectangular PrismsRectangular Prisms• Right rectangular prisms are 3
dimensional rectangles. • We often think of them as closed
boxes or, in construction, examples would be rectangular concrete slabs.
Rectangular PrismsRectangular Prisms• A right prism has bases which meet the
lateral faces at right angles.• A right rectangular prism has bases
which are rectangles and form right angles with the other faces.
Surface AreaSurface Area• Surface area can be thought of as
the amount of wrapping paper, with no overlap, needed to cover a box.
Surface AreaSurface Area• Split into 3 separate
rectangles.– Front/back sides– Top/bottom sides– Right/left sides– Find the areas of each
(LxW) and double.– Sum the areas.

CubeCube• A cube is a right rectangular prism.
All its sides are congruent squares.• All 6 faces have the same area. • So the surface area of a cube =
6 x (area of one face).
Face = (4 x 4) = 16 ft2
Surface area = 6(16) = 96 ft2

Surface AreaSurface Area• The surface area of a rectangular
prism can be found using a formula.
• SA= 2(LW + LH + WH)• This formula is
found on the Math Reference Sheet.

ApplicationApplication• Building wrap is commonly
used in construction on exterior walls.
ApplicationApplication• Exterior
wrapping protects the structure from exterior water and air penetration. In

VolumeVolume• Volume is the measure of the
amount of space occupied by an object.
• Volume can also be thought of as the amount that an object can hold.
VolumeVolume• Volume is the number of cubic
units that a solid can hold.• 1 cubic yard =
27 cubic feet

VolumeVolume• The volume of a rectangular prism
has the formula:• V = L*W*H• This formula is
found on the Math Reference Sheet.
VolumeVolume• Volume is determined by the product
of the 3 dimensions of a rectangular prism: height, length, width.
• Units for volume are “cubic” (cu) units or un3.
• V = (L x W x H)height

• The footing is the most vital part of a foundation.
ApplicationApplication
• The foundation wall transfers weight to the footing.
ApplicationApplication
• The footing transfers the weight of the structure to the ground.
ApplicationApplication
ApplicationApplication• The foundation wall thickness is
determined by the anticipated load of the structure.
wall thickness
ApplicationApplication• The heavier the load of the
structure, the thicker the wall should be.
