Total and Lateral Surface Area

In the equation Ph + 2B, what does P stand for?

• perimeter
• Perimeter of the base
• base

What does lateral mean when asked to find the lateral surface area?

• Means the bases and no sides.
• Means just  the sides.

If you are asked to find the measurement of a label off of a soup can, what are you being asked to find?

• The total surface area.
• The Lateral surface area.

What formula would you use to find the lateral surface area of cylinder?

Find the lateral surface area of the figure.

• 456 m²
• 1444 m²
• 1245 m²
• 816 m²

Find the lateral surface area of the figure.

• 96 ft²

What is the difference between lateral area and total surface area?

• Total surface area includes 1 base instead of 2 bases like lateral does
• Lateral includes all the faces while total only includes the sides
• Total surface area includes the base(s) and all the faces while lateral does not include the base(s)
• Lateral just includes B, the area of the base while total does not
