Surface Area of Prisms and Cylinders

The surface area of a solid is the sum of the areas of its surfaces

A net is the pattern made when the surface of a three-dimensional figure is laid out flat showing each face of the figure

The surface area of a cylinder equals sum of the area of its bases and area of its curved surface

To find the area of the curved surface of a cylinder, multiply its height by the circumference of the base

The circumference of each circular base is 2πr, and the area is πr²

The surface area of a solid is the sum of the areas of its surfaces

A net is the pattern made when the surface of a three-dimensional figure is laid out flat showing each face of the figure

Surface Area of a rectangular prism = 2 (Height x Width + Length x Width + Length x Height)

Surface area of composite figures can be found by dividing them into simpler figures

Surface area of a composite figure = sum of the area of the contributing figures

Area of a rectangle = Length x Width

Area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x Height

Total surface area of a rectangular prism (S1) = 2 lw + 2 lh + 2 wh, where l = Length, w = width, h = height
