    Surface Area of 3D Shapes

    Definition

    Surface area is the total area of the surface of a 3D shape.

    Formulae

    • Cube: 6s^2 (where s is the side length)
    • Rectangular Prism: 2(lw + lh + wh) (where l, w, and h are the length, width, and height respectively)
    • Cylinder: 2πr(h + r) (where r is the radius and h is the height)
    • Sphere: 4πr^2 (where r is the radius)
    • Cone: πr(r + l) (where r is the radius and l is the slant height)
    • Pyramid: B + (1/2)pl (where B is the base area, p is the perimeter of the base, and l is the slant height)

    Key Concepts

    • Surface area is measured in square units (e.g. cm^2, m^2)
    • Surface area includes the area of all faces of the 3D shape
    • Surface area is used in real-world applications such as architecture, engineering, and design

    Tips and Tricks

    • Make sure to use the correct formula for each type of 3D shape
    • Convert between units if necessary (e.g. from meters to centimeters)
    • Break down complex shapes into simpler shapes to calculate surface area
