Round out a lesson on spheres by using different media. Scholars view a video to learn how to find the surface area of a sphere by substituting into the formula. They then use a worksheet to practice the skill.

There are several pieces to this problem. But luckily all the necessary pieces are here. There are five variables and three different formulas to use to get the solutions. The instructor diagrams the triangular prism and labels the...

What do a basketball, a bowling ball, and a ping pong ball all have in common? They are spheres. So how do you measure the surface area of a sphere? Yes, there is a formula and all you have to do is know one measurement of the sphere to...

A regular pyramid has four equal triangular shaped sides and a square base. The lateral area is comprised of the area of the four triangular sides. The surface area is the area of the four triangular sides plus the area of the base....

What are lateral faces? How do you find the area of all the lateral faces? What to do with the perimeter of the base? Then what do you do with those values? You use it to help determine the total lateral area of a rectangle. Yes, more...

There are three formulas that need to be used to solve this problem. The formula for the lateral area of a cylinder, the formula for the circular base of the cylinder, and then the formula for the surface area. It seems like quite a bit,...
