  1. Surface Area

  2. Surface Area • What does it mean to you? • Does it have anything to do with what is in the inside of the prism.? • Surface area is found by finding the area of all the sides and then adding those answers up. • How will the answer be labeled? • Units2 because it is area!

  3. B C 5 in A 6 4 Rectangular Prism How many faces are on here? 6 Find the area of each of the faces. Do any of the faces have the same area? A = 5 x 4 = 20 x 2 =40 If so, which ones? B = 6 x 5 = 30 x 2 = 60 C = 4 x 6 = 24 x 2 = 48 Opposite faces are the same. 148 in2 Find the SA

  4. Cube Are all the faces the same? YES A How many faces are there? 4m 6 Find the Surface area of one of the faces. 4 x 4 = 16 Take that times the number of faces. X 6 96 m2 SA for a cube.

  5. Triangular Prism How many faces are there? 4 5 5 How many of each shape does it take to make this prism? 10 m 3 2 triangles and 3 rectangles = SA of a triangular prism Find the surface area. Start by finding the area of the triangle. x 2= 12 4 x 3/2 = 6 How many triangles were there? 5 x 10 = 50 = front 4 x 10 = 40 = back 3 x 10 = 30 = bottom 2 Find the area of the 3 rectangles. SA = 132 m2 What is the final SA?

  6. SA • You can find the SA of any prism by using the basic formula for SA which is • 2B + LSA= SA • LSA= lateral Surface area • LSA= perimeter of the base x height of the prism • B = the base of the prism.

  7. Triangular Prisms • Use the same triangular prism we used before. Let’s us the formula this time. 2B + LSA=SA • Find the area of the base, which is a triangle because it is a triangular prism. You will need two of them. • Now, find the perimeter of that same base and multiply it by how many layer of triangles are in the picture. That is the LSA. • Add that to the two bases. Now you should have the same answer as before. • Either way is the correct way.

  8. Cylinders What does it take to make this? 6 10m 2 circles and 1 rectangle= a cylinder 2B + LSA = SA 2 B 3.14 x 9 = 28.26 X 2 = 56.52 + LSA(p x H) 3.14 x 6 =18.84 x 10 = 188.4 SA = 244.92

  9. SURFACE AREA • Why should you learn about surface area? • Is it something that you will ever use in everyday life? • If so, who do you know that uses it? • Have you ever had to use it outside of math?
