Surface area and volume worksheets

Find the volume or surface area of rectangular prisms, triangular prisms and cylinders.

About this worksheet

Each solid is drawn with its measurements. Rectangular prisms give a length, width and height. Triangular prisms have a right triangle for a base, drawn with all three of its sides (3, 4, 5 and similar), and a length. Cylinders give a radius and a height. Students find the volume or the surface area.

For cylinders choose answers in terms of pi (such as 36π) or rounded to the hundredth. Pick one kind of solid or a mix, one question or both. The solved example states the formula it uses.
