*Surface Area of Solids

*Surface Area – the total area of the surface of a three-dimensional object

*In order to find the total surface area of an object, you must find the area of all its sides.

*Use your Chapter 12 Formula Sheet as a reference.

*Surface Area of a Rectangular

Prism

* Rectangular Prism - A solid (three-dimensional) object which has six faces that are rectangles. It has the same cross-section along a length, which makes it a prism.
