- Find the surface area.
- Find the surface area.
- Fill in the chart using the information from the diagram to find the surface area of the right triangular prism.
- Based on the diagram below, what are the dimensions of the net? Calculate the surface area of the net. Show your work.
- A rectangular box does not have a top on it. If the dimensions are 6 inches long, 2 inches wide, and 5 inches high what is the surface area of the box? Show/explain your work.
- Draw a net of a triangular prism that is 3 cm long, 10 cm wide, and 6 cm high. Label the diagram with the given measurements. If this net makes a box that you were going to paint how much surface area do you need to cover with the paint? Show your work.
- You are wrapping presents to go to a birthday party. You have one box left that measures 11 inches long, 8 inches wide, and 3 inches high. If you have enough wrapping paper to cover 200 inches2, can you wrap the gift?
Answer Key/Rubric
- 208 cm2
- 54 inches2
- Answers as follows:
- Length = 3 units
- Width = 2 units
- Height= 1 units
- SA of rectangular prism = 22 units2
- Surface area of the box without the top is 92 inches2
Student work might include, but is not limited to:
- Adjust the formula to remove the box top:
- Find the surface area of the remaining box
- Nets may vary, but should look similar to:
Student work to find surface area might include, but is not limted to,
- Find the area of one of the rectangles
- Multiply the area of the rectangle by 3, since they are identical:
(30)(3) = 90
90 cm2 for all three rectangles- Find the area of one of the triangles
- Multiply the area of the triangle by 2, since they are identical:
(30)(2) = 60
60 cm2 for both triangles- Add all of the areas together:
90 + 60 = 150 cm2
- No, you cannot wrap the gift.
Student work might include, but is not limited to:
- Surface area of the present is 290 inches2
- 290 inches2 > 200 inches2
- If you have 200 inches2 of wrapping paper you will not have enough paper to cover the entire gift.
