00:00:00,144 --> 00:00:02,449
- What I want to do in this
video is get some practice

2
00:00:02,449 --> 00:00:04,228
finding surface areas of figures

3
00:00:04,228 --> 00:00:07,605
by opening them up into
what's called nets.

4
00:00:07,605 --> 00:00:09,369
And one way to think
about it is if you had

5
00:00:09,369 --> 00:00:12,247
a figure like this, and if
it was made out of cardboard,

6
00:00:12,247 --> 00:00:13,762
and if you were to cut it,

7
00:00:13,762 --> 00:00:17,047
if you were to cut it right
where I'm drawing this red,

8
00:00:17,047 --> 00:00:20,666
and also right over here
and right over there,

9
00:00:20,666 --> 00:00:22,825
and right over there and also in the back

10
00:00:22,825 --> 00:00:24,175
where you can't see just now,

11
00:00:24,175 --> 00:00:26,247
it would open up into something like this.

12
00:00:26,247 --> 00:00:27,719
So if you were to open it up,

13
00:00:27,719 --> 00:00:30,265
it would open up into something like this.

14
00:00:30,265 --> 00:00:32,145
And when you open it up, it's much easier

15
00:00:32,145 --> 00:00:34,307
to figure out the surface area.

16
00:00:34,307 --> 00:00:36,567
So the surface area of this figure,

17
00:00:36,567 --> 00:00:38,554
when we open that up,
we can just figure out

18
00:00:38,554 --> 00:00:40,713
the surface area of each of these regions.

19
00:00:40,713 --> 00:00:41,900
So let's think about it.

20
00:00:41,900 --> 00:00:43,970
So what's first of all the surface area,

21
00:00:43,970 --> 00:00:48,178
what's the surface area
of this, right over here?

22
00:00:48,178 --> 00:00:51,448
Well in the net, that
corresponds to this area,

23
00:00:51,448 --> 00:00:56,435
it's a triangle, it has a base
of 12 and height of eight.

24
00:00:56,435 --> 00:00:59,898
So this area right over
here is going to be one half

25
00:00:59,898 --> 00:01:03,020
times the base, so times 12,

26
00:01:03,020 --> 00:01:05,801
times the height, times eight.

27
00:01:05,801 --> 00:01:08,195
So this is the same
thing as six times eight,

28
00:01:08,195 --> 00:01:12,066
which is equal to 48 whatever
units, or square units.

29
00:01:12,066 --> 00:01:13,959
This is going to be units of area.

30
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:15,572
So that's going to be 48 square units,

31
00:01:15,572 --> 00:01:17,548
and up here is the exact same thing.

32
00:01:17,548 --> 00:01:19,228
That's the exact same thing.

33
00:01:19,228 --> 00:01:20,260
You can't see it in this figure,

34
00:01:20,260 --> 00:01:21,499
but if it was transparent,

35
00:01:21,499 --> 00:01:24,360
if it was transparent,
it would be this backside

36
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,452
right over here, but
that's also going to be 48.

37
00:01:27,452 --> 00:01:29,492
48 square units.

38
00:01:29,492 --> 00:01:32,148
Now we can think about the areas of

39
00:01:32,148 --> 00:01:35,214
I guess you can consider
them to be the side panels.

40
00:01:35,214 --> 00:01:37,668
So that's a side panel right over there.

41
00:01:37,668 --> 00:01:41,376
It's 14 high and 10 wide,
this is the other side panel.

42
00:01:41,376 --> 00:01:45,614
It's also this length over here
is the same as this length.

43
00:01:45,614 --> 00:01:47,578
It's also 14 high and 10 wide.

44
00:01:47,578 --> 00:01:51,250
So this side panel is
this one right over here.

45
00:01:51,250 --> 00:01:53,214
And then you have one on the other side.

46
00:01:53,214 --> 00:01:54,925
And so the area of each of these

47
00:01:54,925 --> 00:01:58,735
14 times 10, they are 140 square units.

48
00:01:58,735 --> 00:02:02,243
This one is also 140 square units.

49
00:02:02,243 --> 00:02:04,491
And then finally we
just have to figure out

50
00:02:04,491 --> 00:02:06,910
the area of I guess you can say the base

51
00:02:06,910 --> 00:02:10,552
of the figure, so this whole
region right over here,

52
00:02:10,552 --> 00:02:14,256
which is this area, which is
that area right over there.

53
00:02:14,256 --> 00:02:16,743
And that's going to be 12 by 14.

54
00:02:16,743 --> 00:02:21,743
So this area is 12 times 14,
which is equal to let's see.

55
00:02:21,965 --> 00:02:24,540
12 times 12 is 144

56
00:02:24,540 --> 00:02:28,830
plus another 24, so it's 168.

57
00:02:28,830 --> 00:02:32,845
So the total area is
going to be, let's see.

58
00:02:32,845 --> 00:02:36,046
If you add this one and
that one, you get 96.

59
00:02:36,046 --> 00:02:37,984
96 square units.

60
00:02:37,984 --> 00:02:40,527
The two magenta, I guess
you can say, side panels,

61
00:02:40,527 --> 00:02:45,079
140 plus 140, that's 280. 280.

62
00:02:45,079 --> 00:02:48,019
And then you have this
base that comes in at 168.

63
00:02:48,019 --> 00:02:50,360
We want it to be that same color.

64
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,690
168. One, 68.

65
00:02:54,690 --> 00:02:56,792
Add them all together, and
we get the surface area

66
00:02:56,792 --> 00:02:58,004
for the entire figure.

67
00:02:58,004 --> 00:03:01,587
And it was super valuable
to open it up into this net

68
00:03:01,587 --> 00:03:03,216
because we can make sure
we got all the sides.

69
00:03:03,216 --> 00:03:05,272
We didn't have to kinda
rotate it in our brains.

70
00:03:05,272 --> 00:03:07,197
Although you could do that as well.

71
00:03:07,197 --> 00:03:09,775
So, with six plus zero plus eight is 14.

72
00:03:09,775 --> 00:03:14,337
Regroup the one ten to the tens
place, there's now one ten.

73
00:03:14,337 --> 00:03:18,251
So one plus nine is ten, plus eight is 18,

74
00:03:18,251 --> 00:03:22,970
plus six is 24, and then you have

75
00:03:22,970 --> 00:03:25,369
two plus two plus one is five.

76
00:03:25,369 --> 00:03:29,107
So the surface area of this figure is 544.

77
00:03:29,107 --> 00:03:31,260
544 square units.
