Learning Competencies
1. Finds the surface area of cubes, prisms, pyramids, cylinders, cones, and
spheres
2. Solves word problems involving measurement of surface area Code:
M6ME-IIIi-93 and M6ME-IIIj-94
Figure 1 shows a cube with its net, figure 2 shows a rectangular prism with its net
and figure 3 shows a square pyramid with its net.
The total surface area of these space figures can be solved by adding the area of all
its faces.
Total surface area of cube
A cube is a rectangular solid with all square faces.
TSA = 6 x side x side or 6 x s2 or 6s2
Let us now solve for the total surface area of other spatial figures such as rectangular
prism, pyramid, cylinder, cone, and sphere.
Total surface area of rectangular prism
The faces of a rectangular prism are all rectangles.
TSA = ( 2 x length x width ) + ( 2 x length x height ) + ( 2 x width x height)
The formulas in solving for the surface area of different spatial figures are the
following:
• Cube = 6 x s2
• Rectangular prism = (2 x l x w) + (2 x l x h) + (2 x w x h)
• Pyramid = area of the base + area of the lateral faces
• Cylinder = (2 x π x r x r) + (2 x π x r x h)
• Cone = (π x r x r) + (π x r x slant height)
Problem Solving
Problem 1
Rebecca bought a rectangular aquarium as her birthday gift to her daughter. The rectangular
aquarium has the following dimension: 90 cm high with a base of 40 cm by 20 cm. How
much gift wrapper is required to wrap the aquarium?
Understand:
c. What is asked? The measurement of the gift wrapper required to wrap the
aquarium.
d. What are the given fact? 90 cm high with a base of 40 cm by 20 cm Plan:
Which formula shall be used to solve the problem?
The shape of the party-hat is cone, so the formula to be used is (2 x l x w) + (2 x l
x h) + (2 x w x h) Solve:
SA = (2 x l x w) + (2 x l x h) + (2 x w x h)
SA = (2 x 40 x 20) + (2 x 40 x 90) + (2 x 20 x 90)
SA = 1 600 + 7 200 + 3 600
SA = 12 400 cm2
Answer: The measurement of the gift wrapper required to wrap the aquarium is 12
400 cm2.
Check: Go back to your computation. Check if the given dimensions are properly
substituted to the formula. Check each step of your computation.
Problem 2
It is Ruth’s 7th birthday. Raquel is in-charge to make the party hats. The party hat is in cone-
shaped with the diameter of 12.2 cm and a slant height of 10.6 cm. What is the surface
area of each party hat?
Understand:
a. What is asked? The surface area of each party hat.
b. What are the given fact? diameter of 12.2 cm and a slant height of 10.6 cm Plan:
Which formula shall be used to solve the problem?
The shape of the aquarium is rectangular prism, so the formula to be used is (π x r x
r) + (π x r x slant height)
The needed information in the formula is the radius of the circle instead of the
diameter. We know that the measurement of 2 radii is equal to the measurement of a
diameter. So the measurement of the radius is 6.1 cm.
The value of pi (π ) is 3.14. Solve:
SA = (π x r x r) + (π x r x slant height)
SA = (3.14 x 6.1 x 6.1) + (3.14 x 6.1 x 10.6)
SA = 116.8394 + 203.0324
SA = 319.8718 cm 2
Answer: The surface area of each party hat is 319.8718 cm 2.
Check: Go back to your computation. Check if the given dimensions are properly substituted
to the formula. Check each step of your computation.
