Learning Target: I can find the surface area of cones and spheres

Warm Up: Which of the following has the greater surface area? By how much?

A: A cylinder with radius 3 inches and B: A square-based pyramid with a base


height 10 inches. length of 20 cm and a slant height of 25 cm.

Okay, so right now we can find the surface area of…

Prisms - rectangular, triangular, and cylinders

Pyramids - regular tetrahedrons, square-based pyramids, and rectangular-based pyramids

Today: Last two shapes! Cones and spheres.

Example 1 - Find the surface area of the following shapes to the nearest square unit.
