Surface Area Total and Lateral

Find the surface area of the cube.

• 100 sq in

• 400 sq in

• 600 sq in

Find the lateral surface area of the following shape:

• 144

• 96

• 288

• 480

What is the difference between lateral and total surface area?

• Total surface area solves for perimeter of all the sides where lateral solves for area.

• Total surface area is the sum of the area of all the sides where lateral surface area is the sum of the area of only the sides. (Not including the bases or top and bottom).

• Total surface area can only be used for prisms and lateral surface area can only be used for cylinders and cones.

• None of the above.

Find the surface area of the following triangular pyramid.
Each triangle is congruent, with a base of 7 ft. and a height of 6ft.

• 168 ft²

• 126 ft²

• 84 ft²

• 42 ft²

Find the lateral surface area of the triangular prism. Round to the nearest tenth.
