7.2A Prisms
(a) A solid with a uniform cross-section in
the shape of a polygon is called a prism.

7.2B Total Surface Areas of Prisms
For prisms of any shape,
total surface area = total area of two bases + total area of all lateral faces
where total area of all lateral faces = perimeter of base × height
e.g. Total surface area of the prism on the right
= base + base + all lateral faces

8.1B Rectangular Coordinate Plane
Fig. 1 shows a rectangular coordinate plane. The x-axis
and the y-axis intersect at a point called the origin.
The position of a point can be represented by an ordered
pair (a , b), i.e. the coordinates of that point.
e.g. The coordinates of the origin are (0 , 0),
the coordinates of point P are (2 , 3), and
the coordinates of point Q are (–2 , –1).
1. Write down the x-coordinate of each of the following points.
(a) A(3 , 6) (b) B(–2 , –7)
2. Write down the y-coordinate of each of the following points.

The x-axis and the y-axis divide a rectangular coordinate
plane into 4 quadrants. The signs of coordinates of the
points in each quadrant are indicated in Fig. 2.
e.g. Both the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate of any
point in quadrant I are positive.
In Fig. 1 on the previous page, point P lies in
quadrant I while point Q lies in quadrant III.
Note: Points lying on the x-axis and the y-axis do not belong to any quadrant.

9.1A Figures with Reflectional Symmetry
If a plane figure can be folded along a straight line and the two sides of the figure
coincide completely, the figure is said to have reflectional symmetry. The straight
line is called the axis of symmetry.
e.g. The figure on the right has reflectional symmetry.
It has four axes of symmetry: L1, L2, L3 and L4.

9.1B Figures with Rotational Symmetry
If a plane figure coincides with its original figure n times (where n > 1) in one complete
revolution (i.e. 360°) about a fixed point, then it has n-fold rotational symemetry
(i.e. with order n) and the fixed point is called the centre of rotation.
e.g. The above figure has 2-fold rotational symmetry (or the order of rotational symmetry is 2).
