Surface Area of Triangular Prisms WORKSHEET
Suitable for Grades: 6th Grade, IM 3
CCSS: 6.G.A.4
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.
Surface Area of Triangular Prisms WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
This worksheet helps students develop the skills needed to calculate the surface area of triangular prisms accurately.
In Section A, learners work with nets to identify and label each face, calculate its area, and then combine these to find the total surface area. Some problems include ready-drawn nets, while others require students to draw and label them, helping to build spatial reasoning and geometric understanding.
In Section B, students calculate the surface area directly from given dimensions without drawing the net, encouraging the use of efficient methods. The section then progresses to more challenging problems, including error spotting, finding a missing length from a given surface area, and equating the surface area of a triangular prism to that of a cube.
