6th Grade Nets and Surface Area Quiz: 10 Questions with Explanations

A 4B 5C 8D 6

A rectangular prism has 6 faces.

A 196 square inchesB 294 square inchesC 49 square inchesD 343 square inches

A cube has 6 equal faces, so \(6 \times 49 = 294\). Using 4 faces gives 196, and 343 is the volume.

A 84B 60C 48D 120

\(36 + 4\) x (1/\(2 \times 6 \times 4\)) = \(36 + 48 = 84\).

A 24B 52C 26D 48

2(\(6 + 8 + 12\)) = 52.

A A cubeB A square pyramidC A triangular prismD A rectangular prism

The square is the base and the triangles are the sides.

A 16B 6C 4D 8

\(96 \div 6 = 16\) and the edge is the square root of 16, which is 4.

A 66B 60C 72D 36

\(2 \times 6 + 60 = 72\).

A 47B 62C 94D 30

Full surface area is 62; remove the top (15): 47.

A It is the area of flat facesB It counts cubes insideC It measures lengthD It is a volume

Surface area adds the areas of faces.

A The cube (96 vs 112)B They are equalC Cannot tellD The 2 by 4 by 8 box (112 vs 96)

2(8+16+32)=112 and 6×16=96.
