Study and Learn Read the problem. he surface area of a solid figure is the sum of the areas of all its faces. he surface area of a rectangular solid which is also called rectangular prism is the sum of the areas of all the faces. length = 10 cm height = 3 cm width = 5 cm How many faces does the figure have? (6) How many vertices are there? (8) How many edges are there? (12) What can you say about the faces? Are they all the same? (No) o visualize clearly the faces of the rectangular prism, we will unfold the figure. SIDE (E) 10 cm F R O N (A) O P (B) B A C K (C) B O O M (D) 10 cm 3 cm 5 cm 3 cm SIDE (F) 5 cm 3 cm Which pairs of faces are the same in size and shape? (Front and Back; op and Bottom; right side and left side) What plane figures do the faces of rectangular prism represent? (rectangle) How do you get the area of a rectangle? (A = base x height or length x width) o find the surface area of the figure, we need to find the sum of the areas of the 6 faces of the rectangular prism. 2
Face Area of Face (cm 2 ) A 10 x 3 = 30 B 10 x 5 = 50 C 10 x 3 = 30 D 10 x 5 = 50 E 5 x 3 = 15 F 5 x 3 = 15 OAL 190 he surface area of the figure is 190 cm 2. We can also solve the same problem this way: We know that: 1. the bottom and top faces have the same dimensions, 10 cm by 5 cm 2. the left and right faces (sides) have the same dimensions, 5 cm by 3 cm 3. the front and back faces have the same dimensions, 10 cm by 3 cm Using the area formula for a rectangle, A = bh, we have 1. for bottom and top faces A = (10)(5) = 50 cm 2 50 x 2 = 100 cm 2 2. for left and right faces (sides) A = (5)(3) = 15 cm 2 15 x 2 = 30 cm 2 3. for front and back faces A = (10)(3) = 30 cm 2 30 x 2 = 60 cm 2 Adding these areas to find the surface area, we have 100 cm 2 bottom and top 30 cm 2 left and right 60 cm 2 front and back 190 cm 2 surface area 3
Is this the same answer as the one obtained earlier? o solve for the surface area of a rectangular prism, we can use a formula. SA = 2(lw) + 2(wh) + 2(lh) or 2 (lw + wh + lh) Where SA = surface area l = length w = width h = height For the example we did earlier: l = 10 cm; w = 5 cm; h = 3 cm SA = 2(lw) + 2(wh) + 2(lh) = 2(10)(5) + 2(5)(3) + 2(10)(3) = 2(50 cm 2 ) + 2(15 cm 2 ) + 2(30 cm 2 ) = 100 cm 2 + 30 cm 2 + 60 cm 2 = 190 cm 2 SA = 2(lw + wh + lh) = 2[(10)(5) + (5)(3) + (10)(3)] = 2(50 + 15 + 30) = 2(95 cm 2 ) = 190 cm 2 Which method is easiest for you? Do you want to try using that method? Let s answer the exercises under using that method. ry hese A. Find the surface area of the following rectangular prisms.

4) 5) l = 5 w = 7 h = 3 l = 14 w = 12 h = 13 SURFACE BOARD (m 2 ) A G E R S 142 1,012 348 320 724 189 Wrap Up he surface area of a solid figure is the sum of the areas of all its faces. he surface area of a rectangular prism is the sum of the faces of its 6 faces. We have two ways of getting the surface area of a rectangular prism. One is by unfolding the figure and finding the area of each faces then adding all of these. Another is by using the formula, SA = 2(lw) + 2(wh) + 2(lh) or 2(lw + wh + lh). 6
