This video tutorial covers the calculation of surface area for 3D figures, focusing on composite figures and missing sections. It begins with an introduction to the learning goals and a review of surface area formulas for rectangular prisms. The tutorial then progresses to more complex calculations involving missing sections and composite shapes, providing step-by-step guidance. The video concludes with a reflection on the learning process and encourages students to explore further questions.

What is the primary learning goal of this lesson on surface area?

• To calculate the surface area of composite figures

• To learn about the history of geometry

• To understand the concept of perimeter

• To calculate the volume of 3D figures

Which of the following is NOT a method to find the surface area of a rectangular prism?

• Using the surface area formula

• Calculating the area of each rectangle on the surface

• Measuring the volume of the prism

• Adding the areas of all the rectangles

What is the significance of using inches squared in surface area calculations?

• It measures the weight

• It measures the space inside a flat 2D part of a 3D shape

• It measures the length

• It measures the volume

When a piece is removed from a rectangular prism, what is the first step in finding the surface area of the remaining shape?

• Add the areas of the removed and remaining pieces

• Calculate the volume of the removed piece

• Find the surface area of the remaining shape

• Ignore the removed piece

What is the surface area of the simpler piece after a section is removed from the rectangular prism?

• 72 square inches

• 90 square inches

• 108 square inches
