Page 2: Understanding Cube Properties and Nets
This page delves into the basic concepts of surface area, focusing specifically on cubes and their properties. It explains how a cube's dimensions are related and introduces the concept of nets.
Definition: Surface area is defined as the total area of all sides of a 3-dimensional shape.
Vocabulary: Net - A two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional shape when "unfolded."
Example: In a cube, all edges are equal , making calculations straightforward.
Highlight: The net of a cube shows all six faces laid flat, each being a square with area a².
Page 3: Surface Area Formulas for Cubes
This page focuses on the specific formula for calculating a cube's surface area and provides a practical example.
Formula: SA = 6s², where s represents the length of one side
Example: For a cube with 12-inch sides, the calculation would be: Area of one face = 12 × 12 = 144 square inches Total surface area = 6 × 144 = 864 square inches
Highlight: The formula 6s² comes from having six equal square faces.
Page 4: Rectangular Prisms and Their Surface Area
This page explains the calculation of surface area for rectangular prisms, including both cuboids and standard rectangular prisms.
Definition: A rectangular prism is a three-dimensional shape with six rectangular faces.
Formula: SA = 2, where l is length, w is width, and h is height
Highlight: The page emphasizes visualizing the shape by "pulling it apart" to better understand surface area calculations.
Page 5: Introduction to Formula Sheets
This page serves as a transition to the comprehensive formula sheets that follow, preparing students for detailed reference materials.
Page 6: Comprehensive Surface Area Formulas for Various Prisms
This page provides detailed formulas for calculating surface areas of different types of prisms, including triangular, rectangular, hexagonal, heptagonal, square, octagonal, pentagonal, and trapezoidal prisms.
Highlight: Each formula is accompanied by specific variables and their definitions.
Example: For a triangular prism: SA = bh + × l, where b is base, h is height, and S₁, S₂, S₃ are base edges.
Page 7: Surface Area Formula Chart
This page presents a comprehensive chart of surface area formulas for various 3D shapes including cubes, cones, cylinders, spheres, prisms, and pyramids.
Highlight: The chart includes both lateral/curved surface area and total surface area formulas.
Vocabulary: Nomenclature section defines key variables: a , l , b , h , r .
Page 1: Introduction to Surface Area
This page introduces the fundamental concept of surface area in mathematics. The title serves as an entry point to the detailed exploration of three-dimensional shapes and their measurements.
Definition: Surface area represents the total area covered by all faces of a three-dimensional object.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

Knowunity is the BEST app I’ve used in a minute. This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

Not only did it help me find the answer but it also showed me alternative ways to solve it. I was horrible in math and science but now I have an a in both subjects. Thanks for the help🤍🤍

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

In school I was really bad at maths but thanks to the app, I am doing better now. I am so grateful that you made the app.

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend

Best app if you're in Highschool or Junior high. I have been using this app for 2 school years and it's the best, it's good if you don't have anyone to help you with school work.😋🩷🎀

THE QUIZES AND FLASHCARDS ARE SO USEFUL AND I LOVE THE SCHOOLGPT. IT ALSO IS LITREALLY LIKE CHATGPT BUT SMARTER!! HELPED ME WITH MY MASCARA PROBLEMS TOO!! AS WELL AS MY REAL SUBJECTS ! DUHHH 😍😁😲🤑💗✨🎀😮

This app is phenomenal down to the correct info and the various topics you can study! I greatly recommend it for people who struggle with procrastination and those who need homework help. It has been perfectly accurate for world 1 history as far as I’ve seen! Geometry too!
