Surface area and Volume

the surface area and volume of a prism and pyramids are different but also the same... the prism sa=2(l*w)+2(l*h)+2(w*h) and the volume is height times area of the base. pyramids is sa=Lateral area*base area. and the volume is 1/3*Bh.   cylinders and cones have the same resemblance of the ones above. cylinder sa is 2*3.14*r^2+2*3.14*r*h and the volume is 3.14*r^2*h. the cones are sa is L+B and volume is 1/3*3.14*r^2*h.
