__**7.1**__ **__Surface Area and Volume__**
For a rectangular prism: S is surface area, l is length, w is width, and h is height S = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
 * Objectives:**
 * 1) Explore ratios of surface are to volume.
 * 2) Develop the concepts of maximizing volume and minimizing surface area.
 * Surface Area and Volume Formulas**

V is volume and l is length, w is width, and h is height V = lwh

For a cube S is surface area, s is side S = 6s^2

V is volume, s is side V = s^3

__7.2 Surface Area and Volume of Prisms__
Define and use a formula for finding the surface area of a right prism. Define and se a formula for finding the volume of a right prism. Use Cavalieri's Principle to develop a formula for the volume of a right or oblique prism.
 * Objectives:**


 * Definitions:**
 * Altitude:** A segment that has endpoints in the planes containing the bases and is perpendicular to both planes.
 * Height:** The lenght of the altitude.

The surface area, S of a right prism with lateral area L base area B, perimiter p and height h is : S=L+2B prp S=hp+2B
 * Surface Area of a right prism:**

If two solids have the same heights and cross sections formed by all planes of both solids have the same area, that means they also have the same area.
 * What is Cavalieri's Principle?**

Given that one gallon ~ .134 cubic feet, how many gallons of water will the aquarium hold?
 * Example:** An aquarium in the shape of a right rectangular prism has dimensionsof 110 x50 x 7 feet.

Volume Of A Prism: the volume, V and height h and base area B of a prism is
 * V=Bh**
