Describe how the two figures at the right are alike and how they are different. Which box has larger surface area?
Similarity: Both have the same height.
Difference : Cylinder has curved and circular surfaces.
Cube : All faces are identical squares.
Lateral surface area of the cylinder =
=
=
Lateral surface area of the cube = 4l2
= 4 x (7 x 7) cm2
= 4 x 49 cm2
= 196 cm2
Obviously the cubical box has larger surface area.
