Surface Area of Prisms

​Let's look at a few NETS of 3-D figures...

​Example: Finding the Surface Area of a Right Prism

​Step 1: Find the Apothem

​Step 3: Plug into the formula
SA = aP + Ph

​Step 2: Find the Perimeter of one of the bases.

Surface Area of Cylinders

​Lateral Area = Circumference of the circle X height of cylinder!

​Important Formulas...

Find the Surface Area of the cylinder.

​Step 1: Find the Area of one base of the circle
(A = Πr²)
Multiply by 2 (two bases)

​Step 2: Find the Circumference of the circle
(C = 2Πr)
Multiply by the height

​Step 3: Add the Area of the bases and the Lateral Area
(2B + L) or (2Πr² + 2Πrh)
