If a solid is composed of flat surfaces, such as the cube on the right, the surface area is
simply the sum of the areas of the flat surfaces (called faces). So, for example, if a each
edge of a cube has a length s, the area of one face is s 2 since it is a square. Since by
definition, a cube has six congruent faces, the total surface area is 6s 2.
One way to think of surface area is to think of it as the amount of paper it would take to
cover the object exactly, with none left over.
The surface area of a prism = 2 area of base + perimeter of base

Represent three-dimensional figures using nets made up
of rectangles and triangles, and use the nets to find the
surface area of these figures. Apply these techniques in
the context of solving real-world and mathematical
problems.
