About surface area and volume worksheets

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.
