Surface Area

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the surface area of various 3D shapes, including prisms, cylinders, pyramids, cones, and spheres. It covers the formulas for each shape, emphasizing the importance of understanding the base area, perimeter, and height or slant height. The concept of nets is introduced to help visualize the surface areas. Examples are provided to demonstrate the application of these formulas.
