Intro to Surface Area

Front

What is a Rectangular Prism?

Back

A three-dimensional figure that has six faces, all of which are rectangles.

Front

What is the surface area of a shape?

Back

The total area of all the surfaces of a three-dimensional object.

Front

What is a vertex?

Back

The point where two or more edges intersect on an object.

Front

What shape has all sides equal and is a three-dimensional figure?

Back

Cube.

Front

What is the formula for the surface area of a Rectangular Prism?

Back

Surface Area = 2(lw + lh + wh), where l = length, w = width, h = height.

Front

What is the difference between a face and an edge?

Back

A face is a flat surface on a three-dimensional shape, while an edge is where two faces meet.

Front

What is an example of a real-world object that is a Rectangular Prism?

Back

A box or a brick.

Front

Why do we calculate surface area?

Back

To determine how much material is needed to cover an object, like wrapping paper for a present.

Front

What is a three-dimensional figure?

Front

What is a Cube?

Back

A three-dimensional figure with six equal square faces.
