28.3.3 Surface Area of Prisms and Pyramids

Core idea

Surface area is just the area of every face added up: the lateral area plus the base area gives the whole thing.

Module goal. Use nets to flatten a solid's surface into a plane figure, turning surface-area problems into the flat-area calculations you already know.
