Why: To investigate a variety of different types of surface area applications, including real-life scenarios for surface area. NAME: ScenarioAnswer 1)A jewelry box needs to be painted on all sides. If it is 8 in long, 3 in wide, and 3 in tall, how many square inches needs to be covered? 2)A cylindrical box needs to be wrapped with the exact amount of paper needed to cover all of it, including the top and bottom. If the radius is 2.5 in, and the height is 4.5 in, what is its total surface area? 3)One of the pyramids in Egypt needs to be treated with a special preservation chemical (floor included). The base of the pyramid is a square with a side length of 50 ft, and the pyramid has a slanted height of 60 ft. tall, how much of the chemical will be needed?

2. 4) A modern art sculpture that is cone-shaped needs to be painted (bottom face included). If the diameter of the base is 8 ft, and the slanted height is 10 ft, how much paint will be needed? What happens when the problem does not include the entire surface area?? Sometimes a word problem will ask us for the surface area of a 3-D figure, but will NOT include the top face, bottom face, etc. ScenarioAnswer 1)A wooden box will be painted, however, the bottom face will not be painted. If it is 6 ft long, 4 ft wide, and 5 ft tall, how much surface area will be painted? 2)A rectangle-based pyramid sculpture will cleaned. Since it is permanently affixed to the floor, the bottom face can not be reached. If the rectangle base is 7 ft long, 5 ft wide, and the slanted height is 12.5 ft, how many sq. ft of the pyramid will need to be cleaned? 3)An ice cream cone will be coated with chocolate on its outside surface only. If the cone has a radius of 2 in and a slanted height of 3.5 in, how many square in of chocolate will be needed?
