Water Quality Lab: Nets and Surface Area

Plan containers and protective covers for a community science lab.

Lab Containers

Use the faces in each net to find surface area. Drawings do not need to be to scale. Ignore material thickness, seams, and overlaps.

The community science lab builds containers to protect its water-testing equipment. The net below is for one closed container. Each face label gives its two dimensions. All measurements are in centimeters.
