Right Square Prism

  • right square prism 4Right square prism (a three-dimensional figure) has square bases, four faces that are rectangles with equal sides and equal angles.
  • Diagonal is a line from one vertices to another that is non adjacent.
  • 1 base / 12 edges / 5 faces / 8 vertexs / 2 base diagonals / 10 face diagonals / 4 space diagonals

Base Area of a Right Square Prism formula

\( A_b \;=\;   a^2 \) 
Symbol English Metric
\( A_b \) = base area \( in^2 \) \( mm^2 \)
\( a \) = edge \( in \) \( mm \)

Diagonal of a Right Square Prism formula

\( D' \;=\;   \sqrt { 2\cdot a^2 + h^2 } \) 
Symbol English Metric
\( D' \) = space diagonal \( in \) \( mm \)
\( a \) = edge \( in \) \( mm \)
\( h \) = height \( in \) \( mm \)

Edge of a Right Square Prism formulas

\( a  \;=\;   \dfrac{1}{2}  \cdot \sqrt{2 \cdot D'^2 + 2 \cdot h^2} \) 

\( a \;=\;   \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot  \sqrt{4 \cdot h^2 + 2 \cdot A_s} \cdot -h \) 

\( a \;=\;   \sqrt{ \dfrac{V} {h} } \) 

Symbol English Metric
\( a \) = edge \( in \) \( mm \)
\( h \) = height \( in \) \( mm \)
\( D' \) = space diagonal \( in \) \( mm \)
\( A_s \) = surface area \( in^2 \) \( mm^2 \)
\( V \) = volume \( in^3 \) \( mm^3 \)

Height of a Right Square Prism formulas

\( h \;=\;   \dfrac{A_s}{4 \cdot a} - \dfrac{a}{2} \) 

\( h \;=\;   \sqrt{D'^2 + 2 \cdot a^2} \) 

Symbol English Metric
\( h \) = height \( in \) \( mm \)
\( a \) = edge \( in \) \( mm \)
\( D' \) = space diagonal \( in \) \( mm \)
\( A_s \) = surface area \( in^2 \) \( mm^2 \)

Surface Area of a Right Square Prism formula

\( A_s \;=\;    2 \cdot a^2 + 4\;a \cdot h \) 
Symbol English Metric
\( A_s \) = surface area (bottom, top, sides) \( in^2 \) \( mm^2 \)
\( a \) = area \( in^2 \) \( mm^2 \)
\( h \) = height \( in \) \( mm \)

Volume of a Right Square Prism formula

\( V \;=\;   a^2 \cdot h \) 
Symbol English Metric
\( V \) = volume \( in^3 \) \( mm^3 \)
\( a \) = edge \( in \) \( mm \)
\( h \) = height \( in \) \( mm \)
