Presentation Transcript
Five cuboids are shown with their nets. Work out the missing lengths.
24 ??2 of card is required for the dotty face of this cuboid. ? = 4 ?? What is the total amount of card needed to make this cuboid?
Show your calculations on your whiteboard. ? = 4 ?? What is the total amount of card needed to make this cuboid?
Surface Area The surface area of a 3D shape is the total area of all of the faces. Area of dotty face = 24 ??2 Area of stripy face = 48 ??2 Area of pink face = 32 ??2 Surface Area = 24 2 + 48 2 + 32 2 = ??? ???
Quick Check Work out the surface area of each of these cuboids. 5 ??
