Tessellations/SA and Volume Review

Front

What shape makes up the tessellation in the image?

Back

Hexagons are commonly used in tessellations due to their ability to fit together without gaps.

Front

In the equation: Ph + 2B, why are you multiplying by 2?

Back

It is multiplying B by 2 because there are two bases in a three-dimensional shape.

Front

Find the surface area of the square pyramid.

Back

The surface area of the square pyramid is 429 sq. cm.

Front

Which of these images represents a tessellation?

Back

A tessellation is a pattern made of one or more shapes that fit together without any gaps.

Front

What is the surface area if you were to wrap this square pyramid?

Back

The surface area to wrap the square pyramid is 33 sq. meters.

Front

Define tessellation.

Back

Tessellation is the covering of a plane with a pattern of one or more geometric shapes, called tiles, with no overlaps and no gaps.

Front

What is the formula for the surface area of a square pyramid?

Back

The formula is SA = B + 1/2 * P * l, where B is the area of the base, P is the perimeter of the base, and l is the slant height.

Front

What is the volume formula for a square pyramid?

Back

The volume formula is V = (1/3) * B * h, where B is the area of the base and h is the height.

Front

What are the properties of hexagons in tessellations?

Back

Hexagons have six sides and angles that allow them to fit together perfectly without gaps.

Front

Explain the significance of the number 2 in the surface area formula for prisms.

Back

The number 2 accounts for the two bases of the prism, which are congruent.
