Clemens. Sue Unit 1 ~ Square Roots and Surface Area Grade 9 Mathematics Surface Area of Square/Rectangular Prisms To find the surface area of any prism, we need to individually find the area of all surfaces and add them together. In the case of a rectangular prism, all the faces are rectangles so we use the same formula for all six rectangles. Formula for the Area of a Rectangle: base x height Example 1: gar Front/Back: (Because “they are equal) Ara~ Deh 6 cm + (lO em) x (2 em) an = 80 em BoT Feoit= back So ws BO ene~ 2 =O160 em?)

Clemens Unit 1 - Square Roots and Surface Area Grade 9 Mathematics To find the surface area of a composite object, imagine dipping the object in paint. What happens when you separate the blocks below once they have been painted? - You will have an area on each block that is not painted because it was touching the other block. This unpainted part is called the overlap. ‘as To find the surface area, we calculate the area of all the faces covered in paint. The overlap is not painted, so it is not part of the surface area; thus we find the total surface area of each block, add them together and subtract the overlap from the total at the end. Example 1: 1. First calculate the surface area of the larger prism.
