PLATONIC SOLIDS They are 5 shapes named after the Greek philosopher Plato. They have the same congruent regular polygon as each face. Each shape will fit perfectly inside a sphere. Every point will touch the sphere! It is speculated that these 5 shapes are the fundamental building blocks of the physical universe.
Plato believed that these 5 shapes where the "atoms" of nature and assigned them to the essential elements of nature:
Fire- Tetrahedron Earth- cube Air- octahedron
Universe- Icosahedron Water- Dodecahedron

Chapter 12 - Solids
Polyhedron: a solid that is bounded by polygons, called faces, that enclose a single region of space.
Face: is the side of a solid. (a 2- dimensional shape)
Edge: is a line segment formed by the intersection of 2 faces.
Vertex: a point where 3 or more edges meet.

Net of a Prism
Net: is the 2-dimensional representation of the faces. (imagine that you unfold the polyhedra.)
Surface Area: is the sum of the area of the polyhedra's faces.
** The Surface Area is equal to the Area of the polyhedra's net **
Lateral Area: is the sum of the areas of its lateral faces.

12.1 Lateral Area, Surface Area and Volume of Prisms
Prism: a polyhedron w/ 2 congruent faces (bases) that lie in parallel planes. Lateral Faces: are parallelograms formed by connecting the corresponding vertices of the bases. Lateral Edges: segments connecting the vertices and is the intersection of two faces. Lateral Area: The sum of the lateral faces.
Total Surface Area: The sum of the Lateral Area and the areas of two Bases.
Prisms are classified by their bases!!

Right Prism
Each lateral edge is perpendicular to both bases. L.A. = ph
Formula: S.A. of a right prism
S.A. = L.A. + 2B
a= apothem B= area of base P= perimeter of the base h= height

Find the surface area of the right hexagonal prism.
Steps: 1. Find the Lateral Area: - Find the perimeter of the Base - Multiply by the height of the prism Base: 2. Find the area of 1 Base 3. Plug into the formula: TSA = 2B + LA
