Surface area of prisms and cylinders
MA29-04
This lesson is coming soon.
In this lesson
Find the surface area of a 3D solid by adding up its triangular and rectangular faces, and find the curved and total surface area of a cylinder, choosing the right one for the question.
What it covers
- Surface area of a simple solid by summing its triangular and rectangular faces
- Curved surface area of a cylinder (given formula)
- Total surface area of a cylinder (given formula)
- Explicit three-way contrast: curved SA vs total SA vs volume of a cylinder, so the right formula is picked for what the question actually asks

For teachers
This GCSE Maths lesson teaches surface area of prisms and cylinders. By the end, students should be able to find the surface area of a 3D solid by adding up its triangular and rectangular faces, and find the curved and total surface area of a cylinder, choosing the right one for the question. It works through two worked examples and the mistakes examiners report.
