Surface Area of Pyramids WORKSHEET
CCSS: 6.G.A.4, 7.G.B.6
CCSS Description: Represent three-dimensional figures using nets made up of rectangles and triangles, and use the nets to find the surface area of these figures. Apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.
Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving area, volume, and surface area of two- and three-dimensional objects composed of triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, cubes, and right prisms.

Surface Area of Pyramids WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
Our worksheet on calculating the surface area of pyramids features multiple sections with progressively challenging problems.
Students will begin by sketching the nets of three pyramids and using their nets to calculate the surface area.
Section B requires students to calculate the surface area of a further 6 pyramids. This time learners should be careful to find the area of each face without the net as a guide.
In section C, pupils will use the Pythagorean theorem to find the surface area as they are given the height from the base to the apex rather than the slant height.
Lastly, learners are given three problem solving questions to solve in section D.
