Finding the surface area of a prism can be a little tricky, but a net can make the problem a little easier. Make your job easier and see how to use a net to find the surface area of a prism.
Nets can come in real handy, especially when you're fishing. Nets can be even more useful when you're trying to find the surface area of a three-dimensional solid! Follow along to see how a net can help you find the surface area of a cylinder!
A net is a two-dimensional pattern of a three-dimensional solid. Did you know that there is some strategy involved in using a net to identify the three-dimensional solid it represents? In this tutorial, you'll see how to do just that! Check it out!

The term prism is a cool name for a special kind of three-dimensional solid. This tutorial defines the term prism and shows you how to name a prism using the shape of its bases. Check it out!
You've probably seen pictures of Egyptian pyramids, or maybe you've even seen them in person! Those pyramids mostly have either triangular or rectangular bases, but did you know that there are other types of pyramids? In this tutorial, you'll see what a three-dimensional solid needs to be called a pyramid. You'll also see how to name these pyramids, so take a look!
Understanding solids is a building block for finding their lateral area, surface area, and volume. In this tutorial, you'll see examples of solids and learn their different parts. Take a look!
Ever wonder what a box would look like if you unfolded and flatted it? That new picture would be called a net! This tutorial introduces you to nets, a two-dimensional version of a three-dimensional solid. Check it out!
To find the lateral and surface areas of a prism, it’s important to know their formulas. In this tutorial, you’ll learn about each of these formulas and see them used in an example. Check it out!
