Today students continue where we left off before Easter break. We will continue our work with area by finding surface area of prisms and cylinders. We will do this using 2 different methods: drawing a net (unfolding the solid) and using the formula (perimeter times height plus area of bases). You can click here to see a demonstration on how to find surface area. We will be doing a worksheet together in class, doing another worksheet that students will turn in for a grade, and there will be a short homework assignment as well.
Homework:
pages 541-2 6-12, 14-16
Extra Credit:
Post as a comment how you found the answer to #16 from the homework packet.
More Extra Credit:
Cut a pop can so you can make a net out of it and calculate the surface area. Bring the unfolded can and how you figured the area to me on Thursday.
