A Net is a closed plane figures that can be folded to make a 3-dimensional
figure such as cubes, prisms and pyramids. Here are the steps in visualizing the
surface area:
Determine the number of faces of the given figure.
Identify the shapes of the faces.
Draw or illustrate the net of the figure.

Follow the steps in Visualizing the
surface area. Fill in the information
needed below.
1. Were you able to follow the
formula given to you in order to get
the correct answer?
2. What is the formula in getting the
area of square, rectangle and of
triangle?
3. Is it easy to solve equation and
expression? Why?
4. Why is it very important to solve
the area of the said figure?
Solid or Space figures are three-
dimensional (3D) objects having flat
surfaces called faces, line where two
faces meet called edge and point where
three edges meet called vertex. Solid
figures with flat surfaces are referred to as
polyhedron. The images you have
grouped in the previous activity are
examples of these objects. Three of the
many solid/space figures include cube,
prisms and pyramids.
 WHAT DID
YOU LEARN?
Direction: Find the surface area of pyramid

The surface area of a pyramid is the

sum of the lateral area and the area of
the
base.
Solution:
STEP1. Find the lateral area.
There are four congruent lateral faces.
10m Let’s find the areas of the triangles
using
L.A = 4(½ x base x height)
L.A = 4(½ x 8 x 10m)
L.A= 4(40)
L.A= 160 m2
8m So, the lateral area is 160 m2
8m
Direction: Find the surface area of pyramid

The surface area of a pyramid is the

sum of the lateral area and the area of
the
base.
Solution:
STEP2. Find the surface area. Use the
8m formula:
S.A = L.A + B
The base is square, so;
B=sxs
= 8m x 8m
B= 64m2
So, the lateral area of the base is 64
m2
Surface Area = L.A + B
= 160 + 64
S.A = 224 m2
Thus, the surface area of the pyramid
is 224 m2

1. Last December, Rea Anne collected 246
stuffed toys. She decided to donate some of
them to the children in BantayPag-asa
Orphanage. She donated 4 boxes with the same
number of stuffed toys inside. Write an
algebraic expression to get the number of
stuffed toys left to her.
