Most sheets change with every click. Any other skill prints from its row below. Examples and teaching notes

  • Area of composite figures Split the figure into rectangles and triangles, then add their areas. For a cutout, subtract the missing area.
  • Area of parallelograms Area is base times height, and the height is the dashed line standing square on the base, not the slanted side.
  • Area of triangles A triangle is half its box: multiply base times height, then cut the answer in half.
  • Surface area using nets A net is a solid unfolded flat. Surface area is the area of every face added up, so find each face on the net and add.
  • Volume of rectangular prisms Volume is length times width times height. Count the cubes in one layer, then stack the layers.
  • Surface area with nets Use each net to find the requested area or length. Show your work and include units.
  • Volume of composite figures Find each volume. Show your work and include cubic units.
