In this lesson, we
The total area of the faces of a

• determined the surface area of a solid by using its net. of the solid.
A right rectangular prism has 3 pairs
Examples of identical rectangular faces. This prism
has the following pairs of rectangular faces.
1. Sketch and label a net of the right rectangular
prism. Calculate the surface area of the prism 8 cm by 12 cm
by using its net.
4 cm
8 cm by 4 cm
8 cm
12 cm
4 cm by 12 cm

8 cm 8 cm 12 cm
This net can be folded into the right rectangular
prism because pairs of rectangles match the pairs
of identical faces of the prism and each rectangle
SA = 2(12)(8) + 2(12)(4) + 2(8)(4)
has a side that matches an edge of the prism.
= 192 + 96 + 64 12 cm
= 352 8 cm
The surface area of the prism is 4 cm
352 square centimeters. 8 cm 8 cm 12 cm

2. Sketch and label a net of the square pyramid. Calculate the surface area of the pyramid by using its net.
10 cm
16 cm
16 cm
Sample:
16 cm
10 cm
Because the triangular faces of the
SA = (16)(16) + 4(_2 )(16)(10)
1 solid are identical, an efficient way
to find the area of all 4 triangles
= 256 + 320 in the net is to multiply the area
of one triangle by 4.
= 576
The surface area of the pyramid is 576 square centimeters.
The sum of the areas of the faces
of the solid is the surface area
of the solid. Find the surface area
by determining the area of the
solid’s two-dimensional net.
