  • Slant height is the distance along the lateral surface of a sold figure.
  • Base area is the area of the base of the solid figure.
  • Lateral surface area is the area of faces of a solid which does not include the area of the base or bases.
  • The total area of the exterior surface which is know as surface area of a solid figure is the sum of the lateral surface area and the base area of that figure.
