Relevant Vocabulary
RIGHT PRISM: Let E and E’ be two parallel planes. Let B be a triangular or rectangular region or a region that is the union of such regions in the plane E. At each point P of B, consider the segment PP’ perpendicular to E, joining P to a point P’ of the plane E’. The union of all these segments is a solid called a right prism.

There is a region B’ in E’ that is an exact copy of the region B. The regions B and B’ are called the base faces (or just bases) of the prism. The rectangular regions between two corresponding sides of the bases are called lateral faces of the prism. In all, the boundary of a right rectangular prism has 6 faces: 2 base faces and 4 lateral faces. All adjacent faces intersect along segments called edges (base edges and lateral edges).
Engage NY Math 7th Grade Module 3 Lesson 21 Example Answer Key 3
CUBE: A cube is a right rectangular prism all of whose edges are of equal length.
SURFACE: The surface of a prism is the union of all of its faces (the base faces and lateral faces).
NET: A net is a two-dimensional diagram of the surface of a prism.

1. Why are the lateral faces of right prisms always rectangular regions?
Answer:
Because along a base edge, the line segments PP’ are always perpendicular to the edge, forming a rectangular region.

2. What is the name of the right prism whose bases are rectangles?
Answer:
Right rectangular prism

3. How does this definition of right prism include the interior of the prism?
Answer:
The union of all the line segments fills out the interior.

Eureka Math Grade 7 Module 3 Lesson 21 Exercise Answer Key

Opening Exercise: Surface Area of a Right Rectangular Prism
On the provided grid, draw a net representing the surfaces of the right rectangular prism (assume each grid line represents 1 inch). Then, find the surface area of the prism by finding the area of the net.
Engage NY Math Grade 7 Module 3 Lesson 21 Exercise Answer Key 1
Answer:
There are six rectangular faces that make up the net.
The four rectangles in the center form one long rectangle that is 20 in. by 3 in.
Area = lw
Area = 3 in ∙ 20 in
Area = 60 in2

Two rectangles form the wings, both 6 in by 4 in.
Area = lw
Area = 6 in ∙ 4 in
Area = 24 in2
The area of both wings is 2(24 in2 ) = 48 in2.

The total area of the net is
A = 60 in2 + 48 in2 = 108 in2

The net represents all the surfaces of the rectangular prism, so its area is equal to the surface area of the prism. The surface area of
the right rectangular prism is 108 in2.
Engage NY Math Grade 7 Module 3 Lesson 21 Exercise Answer Key 2

Exercise 1.
Marcus thinks that the surface area of the right triangular prism will be half that of the right rectangular prism and wants to use the modified formula SA = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (2lw + 2lh + 2wh). Do you agree or disagree with Marcus? Use nets of the prisms to support your argument.
Engage NY Math Grade 7 Module 3 Lesson 21 Exercise Answer Key 3
Answer:
The surface area of the right rectangular prism is 108 in2, so Marcus believes the surface areas of each right triangular prism is 54 in2.
Engage NY Math Grade 7 Module 3 Lesson 21 Exercise Answer Key 4
The net of the right triangular prism has one less face than the right rectangular prism. Two of the rectangular faces on the right triangular prism (rectangular regions 1 and 2 in the diagram) are the same faces from the right rectangular prism, so they are the same size. The areas of the triangular bases (triangular regions 3 and 4 in the diagram) are half the area of their corresponding rectangular faces of the right rectangular prism. These four faces of the right triangular prism make up half the surface area of the right rectangular prism before considering the fifth face; no, Marcus is incorrect.

The areas of rectangular faces 1 and 2, plus the areas of the triangular regions 3 and 4 is 54 in2. The last rectangular region has an area of 30 in2. The total area of the net is 54 in2 + 30 in2 or 84 in2, which is far more than half the surface area of the right rectangular prism.

Question 4.
A cube has a volume of 64 m3. What is the cube’s surface area?
Answer:
A cube’s length, width, and height must be equal. 64 = 4 ∙ 4 ∙ 4 = 43, so the length, width, and height of the cube are all 4 m.
SA = 6s2
SA = 6(4 m)2
SA = 6(16 m2)
SA = 96 m2

Question 5.
The height of a right rectangular prism is 4 \(\frac{1}{2}\) ft. The length and width of the prism’s base are 2 ft. and 1 \(\frac{1}{2}\) ft. Use the formula SA = LA + 2B to find the surface area of the right rectangular prism.
Answer:
SA = LA + 2B
LA = P ∙ h
LA = (2 ft. + 2 ft. + 1 \(\frac{1}{2}\) ft. + 1 \(\frac{1}{2}\) ft.) ∙ 4 \(\frac{1}{2}\) ft.
LA = (2 ft + 2 ft. + 3 ft.) ∙ 4 \(\frac{1}{2}\) ft.
LA = 7 ft. ∙ 4 \(\frac{1}{2}\) ft.
LA = 28 ft2 + 3 \(\frac{1}{2}\) ft2
LA = 31 \(\frac{1}{2}\) ft2

B = lw
B = 2 ft. ∙ 1 \(\frac{1}{2}\) ft.
B = 3 ft2

SA = LA + 2b
SA = 31 \(\frac{1}{2}\) ft2 + 2(3 ft2)
SA = 31 \(\frac{1}{2}\) ft2 + 6 ft2
SA = 37 \(\frac{1}{2}\) ft2
The surface area of the right rectangular prism is 37 \(\frac{1}{2}\) ft2.

Question 6.
The surface area of a right rectangular prism is 68 \(\frac{2}{3}\) in2. The dimensions of its base are 3 in and 7 in Use the formula SA = LA + 2B and LA = Ph to find the unknown height h of the prism.
Answer:
SA = LA + 2B
SA = P ∙ h + 2B
68 \(\frac{2}{3}\) in2 = 20 in. ∙ (h) + 2(21 in2)
68 \(\frac{2}{3}\) in2 = 20 in. ∙ (h) + 42 in2
68 \(\frac{2}{3}\) in2 – 42 in2 = 20 in. ∙ (h) + 42 in2 – 42 in2
26 \(\frac{2}{3}\) in2 = 20 in. ∙ (h) + 0 in2
26 \(\frac{2}{3}\) in2 ∙ \(\frac{1}{20 \mathrm{in.}}\) = 20 in ∙ \(\frac{1}{20 \mathrm{in.}}\) ∙ (h)
\(\frac{80}{3}\) in2 ∙ \(\frac{1}{20 \mathrm{in.}}\) = 1 ∙ h
\(\frac{4}{3}\) in. = h
h = \(\frac{4}{3}\) in. or 1 \(\frac{1}{3}\) in.
The height of the prism is 1 \(\frac{1}{3}\) in.

Question 7.
A given right triangular prism has an equilateral triangular base. The height of that equilateral triangle is approximately 7.1 cm. The distance between the bases is 9 cm. The surface area of the prism is 319 \(\frac{1}{2}\) cm2. Find the approximate lengths of the sides of the base.
Answer:
SA = LA + 2B
LA = P ∙ h
LA = 3(x cm) ∙ 9 cm
LA = 27x cm2

Let x represent the number of centimeters in each side of the equilateral triangle.
B = \(\frac{1}{2}\) lw
B = \(\frac{1}{2}\) ∙ (x cm) ∙ 7.1 cm
B = 3.55x cm2

319 \(\frac{1}{2}\) cm2 = LA + 2B
319 \(\frac{1}{2}\) cm2 = 27x cm2 + 2(3.55x cm2)
319 \(\frac{1}{2}\) cm2 = 27x cm2 + 7.1x cm2
319 \(\frac{1}{2}\) cm2 = 34.1x cm2
319 \(\frac{1}{2}\) cm2 = 34 \(\frac{1}{10}\) x cm2
\(\frac{639}{2}\) cm2 = \(\frac{341}{10}\) x cm2
\(\frac{639}{2}\) cm2 ∙ \(\frac{10}{341 \mathrm{~cm}}\) = \(\frac{341}{10}\) x cm2 ∙ \(\frac{10}{341 \mathrm{~cm}}\)
\(\frac{3195}{341}\) cm = x
x = \(\frac{3195}{341}\) cm
x ≈ 9.4 cm
The lengths of the sides of the equilateral triangles are approximately 9.4 cm each.

Each base consists of a 3 cm by 7 cm rectangle and right triangle with a base of 3 cm and a height of 4 cm. Therefore, the area of each base:
B = Ar + At
B = lw + \(\frac{1}{2}\) bh
B = (7 cm ∙ 3 cm) + (\(\frac{1}{2}\) ∙ 3 cm ∙ 4 cm)
B = 21 cm2 + 6 cm2
B = 27 cm2

SA = LA + 2B
SA = 156 cm2 + 2(27 cm2 )
SA = 156 cm2 + 54 cm2
SA = 210 cm2
The surface of the right trapezoidal prism is 210 cm2.
