3. How much cardboard in a cardboard box?

4. Do you see the RED face? What are the dimensions of this rectangle? 10 in. 4 in.

5. Do you see another face that is just like the RED face? Where is it located?

6. Yes, it ’ s on the back. 10 in. 4 in. 10 in. 4 in.

7. Now there are 2 rectangles 40 in 2 that each have an area of 40 sq. in.

8. Do you see the BLUE face? What are the dimensions of this rectangle? 4 in. 7 in.

9. Do you see another face that is just like the BLUE face? Where is it located?

10. Yes, it ’ s on the left side. 4 in. 7 in. 4 in.

11. Now there are 2 rectangles that each have an area of 28 sq. in. 28 in 2

12. Do you see the GREEN face? What are the dimensions of this rectangle? 10 in. 7 in.

13. Do you see another face that is just like the GREEN face? Where is it located?

14. Yes, it ’ s on the bottom. 10 in. 7 in. 10 in. 7 in.

15. Now there are 2 rectangles that each have an area of 70 sq. in. 70 in 2

16. Now we just need to add all the areas of the sides together. + + + + 70 in 2 28 in 2 40 in 2 28 in 2 70 in 2

17. A common mistake is to add the dimensions of the prism together, and not the areas of the faces. Make sure to avoid this mistake. + + + + 10 in 2 7 in 2 4 in 2 7 in 2 10 in 2

18. The total Surface Area for this rectangular prism is 40 + 40 + 28 + 28 + 70 + 70 = 276 in 2
