The measurements are all in the can. The review for the math portion of the General Certificate of Secondary Education assessments provides scholars the opportunity to review finding volume and surface area of a cylinder. Pupils work on...

Surface area is the sum of the parts. Given the measurements of different prisms, pupils determine their surface areas. Individuals find the area of each surface and figure out the surface area by finding the sum. The video, part of a...

Wrap up a lesson on surface area with a resource that asks scholars to use the idea of wrapping paper to investigate surface area. They draw representations of rectangular prisms on graph paper to find the areas of the respective...

Surface area or volume? Pupils first review the difference between surface area and volume. They then use a two-dimensional net that helps them develop formulas for the surface area and volume of cylinders.

Paint, wrapping paper, frosting—so many applications of surface area. The video provides an explanation of the surface area formula and how to apply it to regular pyramids. 

Combine the pieces of a three-dimensional solid to find the total surface area. The concept video introduces the formula for finding the surface area of a cylinder. The instructor then applies the formula to various examples, each...

Use these calculator tools to find the surface area, in your choice of units, of a sphere, cone, cube, cylinder, rectangular prism, capsule, ball cap, conical frustum, ellipsoid, or square pyramid. Includes a reference section listing...

Whether you wrap it or fill it, you're using geometric concepts. Classmates use an interactive approach to learn how to find volume and surface area of cylinders and prisms in the second lesson in a five-part series. The online lesson...

The lateral surface area of a cone. Hmmm, what does that mean? Oh, it means the part you see if the cone was sitting on a flat surface, so it does not include the base. But if you want to include the base then it would be finding the...
