Lateral Area & Surface Area

This program describes how to identify the correct parts of the figures so students will be able to substitute them into formulas. The Pythagorean Theorem is also used in the process of finding lateral and surface areas and students will learn to find both exact and approximate answers for cylinders and cones when using the number pi. Students will Learn how to find the lateral area and the surface area for a variety of 3-D figures such as: Prisms, Cylinders, Cones, Pyramids.
