Introductory Message
This Self-Learning Module (SLM) is prepared so that you, our dear learners,
can continue your studies and learn while at home. Activities, questions,
directions, exercises, and discussions are carefully stated for you to understand
each lesson.
Each SLM is composed of different parts. Each part shall guide you step-by-
step as you discover and understand the lesson prepared for you.
Pre-tests are provided to measure your prior knowledge on lessons in each
SLM. This will tell you if you need to proceed on completing this module or if you
need to ask your facilitator or your teacher’s assistance for better understanding of
the lesson. At the end of each module, you need to answer the post-test to self-
check your learning. Answer keys are provided for each activity and test. We trust
that you will be honest in using these.
In addition to the material in the main text, Notes to the Teacher are also
provided to our facilitators and parents for strategies and reminders on how they
can best help you on your home-based learning.
Please use this module with care. Do not put unnecessary marks on any
part of this SLM. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercises and
tests. And read the instructions carefully before performing each task.
If you have any questions in using this SLM or any difficulty in answering
the tasks in this module, do not hesitate to consult your teacher or facilitator.
Thank you.

This module was designed and written with you in mind. It will help you
learn the skills to find the surface area of cubes, prisms, pyramids, cylinders, cones
and spheres. The scope of this module used in different learning situations. The
language used recognizes your diverse vocabulary level. The lessons are arranged
to follow the standard sequence of your course. But the order in which you study
them can be rearranged to match the textbook you are now using.
After going through this module, you are expected to be able to find the
surface areas of cubes, prisms, pyramids, cylinders, cones and spheres.
What I Know
Read and solve the following problem. Write your answer in your answer
sheet.
1. Find the circumference of a circular pool with a diameter length of 5m.
2. A rectangular lot has a width of 15 m and length of 20 m. What is the area of the
lot?
3. A billboard is in a shape of a triangle with dimensions - 8 meters across its base
and 9 meters high. What is the area of the bill board?

What’s New
Study and analyze the problem below.
A rectangular box measuring 4 cm by 5 cm by 2 cm. How many square
meters of wrapping paper are needed to cover the four sides of the box?
Can you solve the problem?
What is It
To find the surface area of solid figures such as cubes, prisms, pyramids,
cylinders, cones and spheres, you may use the following formula:
A. Surface Area of Prism [Rectangular Prism]
FORMULA:
Surface Area=2(length x width)+2(length x height)+2(width x height)
or
SA=2(lw) + 2(lh) + 2(wh)
Example: Solve for the surface area of the given figure:
Solution:
2cm SA = 2(lw) + 2(lh) + 2 (wh)
SA = 2(4cmx2cm) + 2(4cmx5cm) +
2(2cmx5cm)
5cm SA = 2(8cm²) + 2(20cm²) + 2(10cm²)
SA = 16cm² + 40cm² + 20cm²
SA = 76cm²
4cm
3
CO_Q3_Mathematics 6_ Module 8
B. Surface area of a Cube
FORMULA:
Surface Area = 6 x side x side
or
SA=6xSxS
Example: Solve for the surface area of the given figure below:
Solution:
SA=6xSxS
SA=6x2cmx2cm
2cm
SA=6x4cm²
SA=24cm²
2cm
2cm
C. Surface Area of a Pyramid
FORMULA:
Surface Area=area of Base + 4(area of face)
or
1
𝑆𝐴 = 4( 𝑏ℎ)
2
Example: Solve for the surface area of this square pyramid.
Solution:
1
SA = (Area of the Base) + 4(2 𝑏ℎ)
20cm 1
SA=10cm x 10cm + 4 ( 10cm x 20cm)
2
1
SA=100cm² + 4 (2 x 200cm² )
SA=100cm² + 4(100cm²)
SA=100cm² + 400cm²
10cm
SA= 500cm²

CO_Q3_Mathematics 6_ Module 8
D. Surface Area of a Cylinder
To solve the surface area of the cylinder, find the lateral area and area of the
base.
Lateral area = 2πrh
Surface Area = lateral area + 2(area of a circular base)
or
SA=2πrh + 2πr²
Example: Solve for the surface area of the given figure below:
Solution:
8cm SA=2πrh + 2πr²
SA=2 x 3.14 x 4cm x 5cm + 2 x 3.14 x 4cm x 4cm
SA=6.28 x 20cm2 + 6.28 x 16cm2
5cm
SA=125.6cm² + 100.48cm²
SA=226.08 cm²
E. Surface Area of a Cone
To find the surface area of the cone, find the sum of the lateral area and area
of its base.
Lateral area = πrs
Formula:
Surface Area=area of the base +area of the curved surface
or
SA= πrs + πr²
Example: Solve the surface of the cone.
Solution:
SA= πrs + πr²
4cm SA= 3.14 x 2cm x 4cm + 3.14 x 2cm x 2cm
SA= 3.14 x 8cm² + 3.14 x 4cm²
SA= 25.12cm² + 12.56cm²
2cm SA=37.68cm²

CO_Q3_Mathematics 6_ Module 8
F. Surface Area of a Sphere
Surface Area = 4 x area of the circle
or
SA=4πr²
Example:
Solution:
SA= 4πr²
SA = 4(3.14) (3m) (3m)
3m
SA = 12.56 x 9m²
SA=113.04m²
