Intro to Surface Area

What is a Rectangular Prism?

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

• A two-dimensional shape with four equal sides.

• A three-dimensional figure with only triangular faces.

• A solid shape that can be folded into a flat surface.

Why do we calculate surface area?

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

• To find the volume of an object.

• To measure the weight of an object.

• To calculate the temperature of an object.

What is a Cube?

• A two-dimensional shape with four equal sides.

• A three-dimensional figure with six equal square faces.

• A solid object with no edges or vertices.

• A geometric figure with eight triangular faces.

What is the importance of understanding surface area in real life?

• It helps in practical applications like painting, wrapping, and construction.

• It is only relevant in theoretical mathematics.

• It has no real-world applications.

• It is primarily used in cooking and food preparation.

What is a Prism?

• A two-dimensional shape with curved edges.

• A three-dimensional shape with two parallel faces (bases) and rectangular sides.

• A solid figure with only one base and triangular sides.

• A geometric figure that has no edges or vertices.

What is a vertex?

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

• A type of angle formed by two lines.

• A surface on a three-dimensional shape.

• The longest side of a polygon.

What is the surface area of a shape?

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

• The area of the base of the shape only.

• The perimeter of the shape multiplied by its height.

• The area of the largest face of the shape.

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

• Sphere

• Cube

• Cylinder

• Pyramid

What is an example of a question that requires finding surface area?

• Finding out how much wrapping paper is needed to cover a present.

• Calculating the volume of a swimming pool.

• Determining the weight of a package.

• Measuring the length of a table.

What is the difference between a face and an edge?

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

• A face is a line segment, while an edge is a flat surface.

• A face is a point in space, while an edge is a curve.

• A face is a three-dimensional shape, while an edge is a two-dimensional shape.
