A rectangular box measuring 4 cm
by 5 cm by 2 cm. How many
square meters of wrapping paper
are needed to cover the four sides

What is asked?
The total square meter of wrapping paper needed to cover the box.
A rectangular box measuring 4 cm
by 5 cm by 2 cm. How many
square meters of wrapping paper
are needed to cover the four sides
of the box?
What are the given?
A rectangular box with the measurement of :
H – 5cm L = 4cm W = 2cm
SURFACE AREA OF A RECTANGULAR PRISM

SA=2(lw) + 2(lh) + 2(wh)

Surface Area = 2(length x width)+2(length x height)+2(width x height)
SA = 2(lw) + 2(lh) + 2 (wh)
SA = 2(4cmx2cm) + 2(4cmx5cm) +2(2cmx5cm)
SA = 2(8cm2) + 2(20cm2) + 2(10cm2)
SA = 16cm2 + 40cm2 + 20cm2
SA = 76cm2
 Solve for the surface area using the illustration below.

What is asked?
The surface
area of the
illustration.
 Solve for the surface area using the illustration below.

What is given?
L – 15 cm
H – 10 cm
W – 7 cm
SA = 2(lw) + 2(lh) + 2 (wh)
SA = 2(15cmx7cm) + 2(15cmx10cm) + 2(7cmx10cm)
SA = 2(105cm2) + 2(150cm2) + 2(70cm2)
SA = 210cm2 + 300cm2 + 140cm2
SA = 650 cm2

A room has a base that measures
3 meters by 4 meters, and it
stands 5 meters tall. Find its
surface area.
• Solve.
oSA = 2(lw) + 2(lh) + 2 (wh)
oSA = 2(4m x 3m) + 2(3m x 5m) + 2(4m x 5m)
oSA = 2(12m2) + 2(15 m2) + 2(20 m2)
oSA = 24 m2+ 30m2+ 40 m2
oSA = 94 m2
