Surface Area & Volume








Surface Area: To get the surface area of a 3D shape, like a rectangular prism, you first need to make the prism into a net. Then you find the area of the fronts,backs,sides,bottom, and the top. Then you just add them all together to get your surface area.














Volume:



For volume you just use the formula "LxWxH" or length x width x height.



soo 4 x 4 x 4 = 64cm3 , this means volume = 64 cubic centimeters " 64cm3".
