rectangular prisms and polyhedral solids.
Perimeter
Measure each side
Add all the sides together
13 cm
P = 36 cm
5 cm
Area
Area of rectangles, triangles, and
parallelograms.
Rectangles: A = l x w
Parallelograms: A = b x h
Triangles: A = ½ b x h
Find the area A = l x w
A = 13 x 5
A = 65 sq cm

Surface area
Think back to all our 3D shapes
(polyhedra)
Name a few
faces
When finding the surface area of a
figure, you must measure all faces.
You must know the length and width
of each face.
Once you have found those lengths,
you must then find the area.
Let’s take a look.
Lets use a cube.
A net of a cube
Surface Area
If you add together all of the areas
from the faces of a 3-D shape, then
the total is the surface area. It is the
total amount of space needed to cover
the outer surface of the shape. This is
a property of 3-D shapes, and you
might have noticed it when you've
tried to figure out how much
wrapping paper to use to wrap a
present.
Back to the cube
We must measure
each side before we
can find the surface
area.
Lets say each side
measures 5 cm.
So the area of one
face is???
25 sq cm
What else to do
we need to know?
How many faces are
there?
6 faces total, so…
6 x 25 = 150 sq cm
Formula
Surface Area
Of Rectangles
(base x height + height x width + width x base) x 2
(b x h + h x w + w x b) x 2

Do # 1-5 as group or on own.

Crayon, color pencil boxes, or
kleenex box.
You will measure the length and
Add them
width of each face. (use sq cm)
Label it with a sharpie.
Find the area of each face and write
the area in the center.
Write the sums of each down to find
the surface area of the box.
Write this total on a sticky note.
Compare total with a partner.
3 congruent faces…
Did anyone notice that there are 3
congruent faces?

Use the shape from last week.
Measure each side and find the
surface area. (like the boxes
yesterday)
Get with other students in the room
with your shape.
Present to the class as a group how
you found the surface area and what
it is.
