Surface Area of Rectangular Prisms How much cardboard in a cardboard box?
Do you see the RED face? What are the dimensions of this rectangle? 4 in. 10 in.
Do you see another face that is just like the RED face? Where is it located?
4 in. 4 in. 10 in. 10 in. Yes, it’s on the back.
40 in2 40 in2 Now there are 2 rectangles that each have an area of 40 sq. in.
Do you see the BLUE face? What are the dimensions of this rectangle? 4 in. 7 in.
Do you see another face that is just like the BLUE face? Where is it located?
4 in. 4 in. 7 in. 7 in. Yes, it’s on the left side.
28 in2 28 in2 Now there are 2 rectangles that each have an area of 28 sq. in.
Do you see the GREEN face? What are the dimensions of this rectangle? 7 in. 10 in.
Do you see another face that is just like the GREEN face? Where is it located?
7 in. 7 in. 10 in. 10 in. Yes, it’s on the bottom.
70 in2 70 in2 Now there are 2 rectangles that each have an area of 70 sq. in.
40 in2 40 in2 28 in2 + + 28 in2 + 70 in2 + 70 in2 Now we just need to add all the areas of the sides together.
A common mistake is to add the dimensions of the prism together, and not the areas of the faces. Make sure to avoid this mistake. 4 in2 4 in2 7in2 + + 7in2 + 10 in2 + 10 in2 WRONG!!!!
The total Surface Area for this rectangular prism is 40 + 40 + 28 + 28 + 70+70 = 276 in2
