Surface Area - Is The Amount of Space That Covers The Outside or Surface of A

Surface area is the amount of space that covers the outside of a 3D object. Common 3D shapes include cubes, rectangular prisms, cylinders, cones, and spheres. The document provides the formulas to calculate the surface area of each shape using measurements of sides, lengths, widths, heights, radii, and diameters. Examples are given to show how to apply the formulas to find the surface area of specific 3D objects.

SURFACE AREA

Surface Area – is the amount of space that covers the outside or surface of a
three-dimensional object.

Surface Areas of some Three-dimensional objects:

3-D object Figure Surface Area (SA)

¿ 6 s2
Cube s where
s = side

¿ 2 lw+2 wh+2 lh

where
Rectangular Prism h
l = length
w
l w = width
h = height
r ¿ 2 π r 2 +2 πrh

Cylinder where
h
r = radius
h = height

¿ π r 2+ πr √ r 2+ h2

Cone where
r = radius
h = height

¿ 4 π r2
Sphere
where
r = radius
Solve for the surface area of the following solids:

1. Square: side = 10 cm
2. Rectangular Prism: length = 4 ft, width = 3 ft, height = 5 ft
3. Cylinder: radius = 7 cm, height = 20 cm
4. Cone: radius = 5 m, height = 4 m
5. Sphere: radius = 12 in.
