Objective: The student will find surface area of cubes and rectangular prisms.
Vocabulary • Total Surface Area is the sum of the areas of all faces and bases of a three dimensional figure. • Lateral Surface Area is the sum of the areas of all the faces of a three dimensional figure, NOT including bases.
Variables S: Surface Area P: Perimeter of the base B: Area of the base h: height s: side
Formula for Cube The totalsurface area S of a cube is six times the side ssquared. S = 6s²
Formula for Rectangular Prism The total surface area S of a prism is twice the area of the base B, plus the lateral area: the perimeter of the base P times the height h. S = 2B + Ph
Formula for Rectangular Prism The lateralsurface area S of a prism is the perimeter of the base P times the height h. S = Ph
