Introduction
In this lesson, you will learn about the surface area of pyramids and cones.
Go through the following explore activities:
Think about what shapes make up each solid, Can you figure out how you would find the area of each shape to find the total surface area?
Following successful completion of this lesson, students will be able to...
- Calculate the surface area of prisms and cylinders.
- Apply geometric methods to solve design problems.
Enduring Understandings
- Surface area is the total area of the surface of three-dimensional objects and does not include the interior space.
The above objectives correspond with the Alabama Course of Study: Geometry standards: 37.
