You need just two measurements: the diameter of the base and it's height, but the calculus is more involved than most of the other simple bodies. The surface area of a cone is one of the most complicated and it is where the need for a calculator becomes more apparent. The surface area formula for a cone, given its diameter (or radius) and height is π x (diameter / 2) 2 + π x (diameter / 2) x √ ((diameter / 2) 2 + (height 2)), where (diameter / 2) is the radius of the base (d = 2 x r), so another way to write it is π x radius 2 + π x radius x √ (radius 2 + (height 2)), as seen in the figure below: To find the SA simply multiply 4 times 3.14159 times the radius square. The area of the triangle at the front is 1 2 ×12×530cm2 21 × 12 × 5 30cm2 The back face is the same as the front face so the area of the back is also 30cm2 30cm2. π is, of course, the well-known mathematical constant, about equal to 3.14159. Work out the surface area of the triangular prism Work out the area of each face. Visual on the figure below:Ī sphere's surface area can be calculated just by knowing its diameter, or radius (diameter = 2 x radius). The surface area formula for a sphere is 4 x π x (diameter / 2) 2, where (diameter / 2) is the radius of the sphere (d = 2 x r), so another way to write it is 4 x π x radius 2. side 2 is the surface of one of the sides, and since the cube has 6 equal sides, multiplying by 6 gives us the total cube surface area. This calculation requires only one measurement, due to the symmetricity of the cube. The surface area formula for a cube is 6 x side 2, as seen in the figure below: In this lesson, students will calculate the surface area of triangular prisms. The result from our surface area calculator will always be a square of the same unit: square feet, square inches, square meters, square cm, square mm. Solution: From the image, we can observe that the side lengths of the triangle are a 5 cm, b 6 cm and c 5 cm. In all surface area calculations, make sure that all lengths are measured in the same unit, e.g. Example 1: Find the surface area of the triangular prism with the measurements seen in the image.
