Cylinders: Surface Area How many sides do these shapes have? What 2D shapes are the sides? Sketch the packaging flat in your books. Lid Base
Circumference of a circle = 𝜋𝑑 How can we calculate the surface area of this can/cylinder? What is the area of the cylinder’s surfaces? What is the net of the cylinder? Area of a circle = 𝜋𝑟2 Circumference of a circle = 𝜋𝑑
