Surface Surface areaarea
The prism has 3 rectangular and 2 triangular faces.
This is one way of drawing the net.
This is a triangular prism.To find the surface area we need to be able to visualise the faces.
This is one way of drawing the net.
This is a triangular prism.To find the surface area we need to be able to visualise the faces.
The surface area is the sum of the areas of 3 rectangles and 2 triangles.
The cylinder has 2 flat surfaces and 1 curved surface.

e.g.
Tip: No square, it’s a length !
To find the surface area of a cylinder we need some circle facts.
Reminders:
rArea = r2
Tip: Area, so a square!
Circumference = d
When we are calculating the values, unless we are asked for an estimate, we
use the button on the calculator.
We must work to at least one more decimal place or significant figure than we need in the
final answer.
( Reminder: d = 2r )

SUMMARY
The surface area of a solid cylinder is made up of:• 2 circles
• 1 curved surface that unwraps to a rectangle.
The area of each circle is r2.
The length of the rectangle is d.
The surface area of a triangular prism is made up of:• 3
rectangles• 2 triangles
EXERCISE
1.(a) Draw and label, with names and lengths, the triangle and 3 rectangles that make the different faces of the prism shown below. ( The drawings need not be to scale. )(b) How many faces has the prism?(c) Find the surface area of the prism.
