Answer 5

Surface area of a cylinder

\[\Large SA = 2*\pi*r*(r + h)\]

Answer 6

For the prism, it depends on what type of prism it is

The most general formula is

\[\Large SA = 2B + p*h\]

B = area of base
p = perimeter of base
h = height of prism

Answer 7

The formula I have for the prism is SA = area of base * height

Answer 8

does that count too?

Answer 9

Answer 10

that formula is the volume of the prism

Answer 11

Volume of prism = (area of base)*(height of prism)
