LOG PROBLEM
1) A square has an area of 64 centimeters squared (cm^2).
a. What is the length of its sides?
b. What is the perimeter of the square?
2) Solve for the WIDTH and the area of this RECTANGLE.
Remember, p = 2(l+w)
p = 50 cm, l = 20 cm, w = ?, a =?

ACTIVITY
1. Measure the perimeter of the rectangles that make up your rectangular prism (box).

2. Measure the area of the rectangles that make up your rectangular prism (box).

3. Add up all the areas of the rectangles to calculate the surface area.

Surface Area Problems

Calculate the surface area of the following cubes. Formula: surface area = side x side x 6
1. side = 2 cm
2. side = 3.8 cm
3. side = 14 cm
4. side = 22.7 cm
5. side = 100 cm
