Happy Monday!!
A few notes for review:
- total surface area is the amount of surface on the outside of an object. "What amount of material would it take to cover the object. "
- for TSA of Rectangular Prisms you can find the area of each rectangle(6 of them) and add them up
- for TSA of Triangular Prisms you can find the area of the 3 rectangles and the two triangles and add them up
- radius of a circle is the distance from the center of the circle to the outside of the circle
- diameter of a circle is the distance from one side of the circle through the center to the other side. It's twice the radius.
- circumference is the distance around the outside of the circle.
- pi = 3.14 as an approximation
- for a right cylinder you can find the area of the 2 circles (A = pi X r X r ) * usually written as A= pi r2 and a rectangle. Rectangles have 2 dimensions (length and width) one dimension of the rectangle will be the height of the cylinder. The other will be the circumference of the circle( circumference= pi X diameter) c= pi d. Multiply the 2 dimensions to find the area of the rectangle. Finally add the areas of the 2 circles and the rectangle to find the total surface area!
- There will be a video posted dealing with this concept.
- Use paper, pencil and calculator. Staying organized is key in solving these problems. Draw and label each part of the shape. *Remember diameter is 2 times the radius.
