HELLO CLASS.
Today in class we learned about Surface Area of a CUBE and RECTANGULAR PRISM.

BEFORE all that, we learned how many lines of symmetry a 3 dimensional cube has.
There are a total of 9 lines of symmetry.
( Sorry if the picture seems a pretty trippy to you. )
Surface Area of a Cube
Cube - Has 6 faces
Congruent faces
Congruent means its the same shape and size.
Surface Area = 6s²
When calculating the surface area you must use the rule:
BEDMAS ( Brackets Exponents Division Multiplication Adding Subtracting )
6S = 6 Sides. A cube has 6 sides/faces.
An example of the variable S would be the number 3.
SA = 6s²
= 6(3)² ** The exponent ² means to square the number ( or multiply the number by itself ) **
= 6 x 9 ** The number we get it 9 because of 3 x 3 **
= 54 cm² or 54 squared centimeters.
Another example for the variable S would be 2.25
SA = 6s²
= 6(2.25)²
= 6 x 5.0625
= 30.375 cm² or 30.375 squared centimeters.
Next is calculating the Surface Area of a Rectangular.
6 faces of which there are 3 pairs of opposite congruent faces.
We didn't get far into calculating the surface area of a rectangular prism. This is how far we've got up to.
