SURFACE AREA
OF
SOLID FIGURES
Problem Let us say you bought a gift for a friend, and you want
to place it in a rectangular box whose dimensions are 8
cm, 6 cm, and 7 cm. If you plan to wrap it using a gift
wrapper, what is the minimum amount of wrapper that
would completely cover the box?
Rectangular Prism
height (h) = 7 cm
width (w) = 6 cm
length (l) = 8 cm
Surface Area
✓ is the total area of all the plane figures that
make up a solid figure.
A=l×w to get the area of each face

Find the surface area of the rectangular prism.
height (h) = 7 cm
width (w) = 6 cm
length (l) = 8 cm
Given: Top and Bottom: length = 8 cm, width = 6 cm

Front and Back: length = 8 cm, width = 7 cm
Right and Left: length = 6 cm, width = 7 cm
Solution:
Faces Dimensions Area

Top 8 cm × 6 cm 48 cm2
Bottom 8 cm × 6 cm 48 cm2
Front 8 cm × 7 cm 56 cm2
Back 8 cm × 7 cm 56 cm2
Left side 6 cm × 7 cm 42 cm2
Right side 6 cm × 7 cm 42 cm2

Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 1 300 cm2.
Formula:
Solution: Given: l = 20 cm

SA = 1 300 cm2
Solution:
Given: l = 12 in
w = 20 in
h = 8 in
SA = 2 lw + 2 lh + 2 wh
SA = 2 (12 in × 20 in) + 2 (12 in × 8 in) + 2 (20 in × 8 in)
