Surface Area Review

Surface area is the total area that the surface of a three-dimensional object occupies.

To find the surface area of a cube, use the formula: Surface Area = 6 * (side length)^2.

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

Lateral area refers to the area of the sides of a three-dimensional shape, excluding the top and bottom.

Lateral Area = 2πrh, where r = radius and h = height.

A net is a two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional shape that can be folded to form the shape.

The surface area of a sphere is given by the formula: Surface Area = 4πr^2, where r = radius.

Surface Area = (base area + lateral area) = 2 * (1/2 * base * height) + (perimeter of base * height).

Surface area measures the area of the surface of a shape, while volume measures the space inside the shape.

Surface Area = 6 * (4 cm)^2 = 96 cm².
