Finding Surface Area Math 6
Objectives 1- Represent three-dimensional figures using nets made up of rectangles and triangles, and use the nets to find the surface area of these figures. 2- Apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.
Geometric Shapes Polygons Polyhedra (Polyhedrons) solid figures (3-dimensional) Faces are polygons Edges are line segments • Plane (flat) closed figures. • Sides are line segments.
Solid (3-Dimensional) Geometric Shapes
Cube A net is a two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional figure.
How to Find Surface Area • Find the area of each face. • Add them all together.
Nets of pyramids Nets of pyramids
We can describe nets and their solids by the number of: edges vertices faces. Solids include rectangular and triangular prisms

Guided Practice 1 The figure is a cube. Find the surface area.
Guided Practice 2 The figure is a triangular prism. Find the surface area.
Guided Practice 3 The figure is a pyramid with a square base. Find the surface area.
Guided Practice 4 The figure is a pyramid with a triangular base. Find the surface area.
Conclusion • Surface Area of a solid means the amount of space on the surface. • It is a measure of area, thus the units are square units. • We can find surface area of prisms and pyramids by finding the area of each face and adding. • A net can be helpful to use.
