The lateral surface area of the prism. Hello! In this publication we will analyze a group of problems in stereometry. Let's consider a combination of bodies - a prism and a cylinder. At the moment, this article completes the entire series of articles related to the consideration of types of tasks in stereometry.
If new ones appear in the task bank, then, of course, there will be additions to the blog in the future. But what is already there is quite enough for you to learn how to solve all the problems with a short answer as part of the exam. There will be enough material for years to come (the mathematics program is static).
The presented tasks involve calculating the area of a prism. I note that below we consider a straight prism (and, accordingly, a straight cylinder).
Without knowing any formulas, we understand that the lateral surface of a prism is all its lateral faces. A straight prism has rectangular side faces.
The area of the lateral surface of such a prism is equal to the sum of the areas of all its lateral faces (that is, rectangles). If we are talking about a regular prism into which a cylinder is inscribed, then it is clear that all the faces of this prism are EQUAL rectangles.
Formally, the lateral surface area of a regular prism can be reflected as follows:
27064. A regular quadrangular prism is circumscribed about a cylinder whose base radius and height are equal to 1. Find the lateral surface area of the prism.
The lateral surface of this prism consists of four rectangles of equal area. The height of the face is 1, the edge of the base of the prism is 2 (these are two radii of the cylinder), therefore the area of the side face is equal to:
Side surface area:
73023. Find the lateral surface area of a regular triangular prism circumscribed about a cylinder whose base radius is √0.12 and height is 3.
The area of the lateral surface of a given prism is equal to the sum of the areas of the three lateral faces (rectangles). To find the area of the side face, you need to know its height and the length of the base edge. The height is three. Let's find the length of the base edge. Consider the projection (top view):
We have a regular triangle into which a circle with radius √0.12 is inscribed. From the right triangle AOC we can find AC. And then AD (AD=2AC). By definition of tangent:
This means AD = 2AC = 1.2. Thus, the lateral surface area is equal to:
27066. Find the lateral surface area of a regular hexagonal prism circumscribed about a cylinder whose base radius is √75 and height is 1.
The required area is equal to the sum of the areas of all side faces. A regular hexagonal prism has lateral faces that are equal rectangles.
To find the area of a face, you need to know its height and the length of the base edge. The height is known, it is equal to 1.
Let's find the length of the base edge. Consider the projection (top view):
We have a regular hexagon into which a circle of radius √75 is inscribed.
Consider the right triangle ABO. We know the leg OB (this is the radius of the cylinder). We can also determine the angle AOB, it is equal to 300 (triangle AOC is equilateral, OB is a bisector).
Let's use the definition of tangent in a right triangle:
AC = 2AB, since OB is the median, that is, it divides AC in half, which means AC = 10.
Thus, the area of the side face is 1∙10=10 and the area of the side surface is:
76485. Find the lateral surface area of a regular triangular prism inscribed in a cylinder whose base radius is 8√3 and height is 6.
The area of the lateral surface of the specified prism of three equal-sized faces (rectangles). To find the area, you need to know the length of the edge of the base of the prism (we know the height). If we consider the projection (top view), we have a regular triangle inscribed in a circle. The side of this triangle is expressed in terms of radius as:
Details of this relationship. So it will be equal
Then the area of the side face is: 24∙6=144. And the required area:
245354. A regular quadrangular prism is circumscribed about a cylinder whose base radius is 2. The lateral surface area of the prism is 48. Find the height of the cylinder.
General information about straight prism
The lateral surface of a prism (more precisely, the lateral surface area) is called sum areas of the side faces. The total surface of the prism is equal to the sum of the lateral surface and the areas of the bases.
Theorem 19.1. The lateral surface of a straight prism is equal to the product of the perimeter of the base and the height of the prism, i.e., the length of the side edge.
Proof. The lateral faces of a straight prism are rectangles. The bases of these rectangles are the sides of the polygon lying at the base of the prism, and the heights are equal to the length of the side edges. It follows that the lateral surface of the prism is equal to
S = a 1 l + a 2 l + ... + a n l = pl,
where a 1 and n are the lengths of the base edges, p is the perimeter of the base of the prism, and I is the length of the side edges. The theorem has been proven.
Practical task
Problem (22) . In an inclined prism it is carried out section, perpendicular to the side ribs and intersecting all the side ribs. Find the lateral surface of the prism if the perimeter of the section is equal to p and the side edges are equal to l.
Solution. The plane of the drawn section divides the prism into two parts (Fig. 411). Let us subject one of them to parallel translation, combining the bases of the prism. In this case, we obtain a straight prism, the base of which is the cross-section of the original prism, and the side edges are equal to l. This prism has the same lateral surface as the original one. Thus, the lateral surface of the original prism is equal to pl.
Summary of the covered topic
Now let’s try to summarize the topic we covered about prisms and remember what properties a prism has.
Prism properties
Firstly, a prism has all its bases as equal polygons;
Secondly, in a prism all its lateral faces are parallelograms;
Thirdly, in such a multifaceted figure as a prism, all lateral edges are equal;
Also, it should be remembered that polyhedra such as prisms can be straight or inclined.
Which prism is called a straight prism?
If the side edge of a prism is located perpendicular to the plane of its base, then such a prism is called a straight one.
It would not be superfluous to recall that the lateral faces of a straight prism are rectangles.
What type of prism is called oblique?
But if the side edge of a prism is not located perpendicular to the plane of its base, then we can safely say that it is an inclined prism.
Which prism is called correct?
If a regular polygon lies at the base of a straight prism, then such a prism is regular.
Now let us remember the properties that a regular prism has.
Properties of a regular prism
Firstly, regular polygons always serve as the bases of a regular prism;
Secondly, if we consider the side faces of a regular prism, they are always equal rectangles;
Thirdly, if you compare the sizes of the side ribs, then in a regular prism they are always equal.
Fourthly, a correct prism is always straight;
Fifthly, if in a regular prism the lateral faces have the shape of squares, then such a figure is usually called a semi-regular polygon.
Prism cross section
Now let's look at the cross section of the prism:
Homework
Now let's try to consolidate the topic we've learned by solving problems.
Let's draw an inclined triangular prism, the distance between its edges will be equal to: 3 cm, 4 cm and 5 cm, and the lateral surface of this prism will be equal to 60 cm2. Having these parameters, find the side edge of this prism.
Do you know that geometric figures constantly surround us, not only in geometry lessons, but also in everyday life there are objects that resemble one or another geometric figure.
Every home, school or work has a computer whose system unit is shaped like a straight prism.
If you pick up a simple pencil, you will see that the main part of the pencil is a prism.
Walking along the central street of the city, we see that under our feet lies a tile that has the shape of a hexagonal prism.

Prism is a polyhedron whose two faces (bases) lie in parallel planes, and the edges that do not lie in these faces are parallel to each other.
Faces other than the bases are called lateral.
The sides of the side faces and bases are called prism ribs, the ends of the edges are called the vertices of the prism. Lateral ribs edges that do not belong to the bases are called. The union of lateral faces is called lateral surface of the prism, and the union of all faces is called the full surface of the prism. Prism height called the perpendicular dropped from the point of the upper base to the plane of the lower base or the length of this perpendicular. 
Direct prism called a prism whose side ribs are perpendicular to the planes of the bases. 
Correct called a straight prism (Fig. 3), at the base of which lies a regular polygon.
Designations:
l - side rib;
P - base perimeter;
S o - base area;
H - height;
P^ - perpendicular section perimeter;
S b - lateral surface area;
V - volume;
S p is the area of the total surface of the prism.

*It is assumed that every two successive planes intersect and that the last plane intersects the first
Theorem 1 . Sections of a prismatic surface by planes parallel to each other (but not parallel to its edges) are equal polygons.
Let ABCDE and A"B"C"D"E" be sections of a prismatic surface by two parallel planes. To make sure that these two polygons are equal, it is enough to show that triangles ABC and A"B"C" are equal and have the same direction of rotation and that the same holds for triangles ABD and A"B"D", ABE and A"B"E". But the corresponding sides of these triangles are parallel (for example, AC is parallel to AC) like the line of intersection of a certain plane with two parallel planes; it follows that these sides are equal (for example, AC is equal to A"C"), like opposite sides of a parallelogram, and that the angles formed by these sides are equal and have the same direction.
Definition 2 . A perpendicular section of a prismatic surface is a section of this surface by a plane perpendicular to its edges. Based on the previous theorem, all perpendicular sections of the same prismatic surface will be equal polygons.
Definition 3
. A prism is a polyhedron bounded by a prismatic surface and two planes parallel to each other (but not parallel to the edges of the prismatic surface)
The faces lying in these last planes are called prism bases; faces belonging to the prismatic surface - side faces; edges of the prismatic surface - side ribs of the prism. By virtue of the previous theorem, the base of the prism is equal polygons. All lateral faces of the prism - parallelograms; all side ribs are equal to each other.
Obviously, if the base of the prism ABCDE and one of the edges AA" in size and direction are given, then it is possible to construct a prism by drawing edges BB", CC", ... equal and parallel to edge AA".
Definition 4 . The height of a prism is the distance between the planes of its bases (HH").
Definition 5
. A prism is called straight if its bases are perpendicular sections of the prismatic surface. In this case, the height of the prism is, of course, its side rib; the side edges will be rectangles.
Prisms can be classified according to the number of lateral faces equal to the number of sides of the polygon that serves as its base. Thus, prisms can be triangular, quadrangular, pentagonal, etc.
Theorem 2
. The area of the lateral surface of the prism is equal to the product of the lateral edge and the perimeter of the perpendicular section.
Let ABCDEA"B"C"D"E" be a given prism and abcde its perpendicular section, so that the segments ab, bc, .. are perpendicular to its lateral edges. The face ABA"B" is a parallelogram; its area is equal to the product of the base AA " to a height that coincides with ab; the area of the face ВСВ "С" is equal to the product of the base ВВ" by the height bc, etc. Consequently, the side surface (i.e. the sum of the areas of the side faces) is equal to the product of the side edge, in other words, the total length of the segments AA", ВВ", .., for the amount ab+bc+cd+de+ea.
