III. Procedure
A. Preliminary Activities
1. Drill
Solving for areas of plane figures

2. Review
a. What is the formula in finding the surface area of cylinder? Pyramid?
b. Give example for each figure and have pupils solve it.

3. Motivation
Teacher will show pictures of an ice cream cone and tell the pupils that this is
a space figure.

B. Developmental Activities
1. Introduction
One Saturday morning, my friend visited me. She brought with her ma
cone of ice cream. The base of the ice cream cone measure 3 cm and the
height is 4 cm. What do you think is the surface area of the ice cream cone?

2. Modeling
Surface area of cone
Let us use a net to help see how the formula for the surface area of a
cone is derived.

S
C = 2πr

r=

cone
 The surface area of a cone is the sum of the lateral area of its base.

To find the lateral area, imagine cutting the lateral surface into wedges to
form a figure like a parallelogram.

Example: Find the surface area of the ice 2 cm

cream cone at the right.
Use π = 3.14
6 cm

Solution:

Step 1: Find the lateral area using the formula L.A = πrs

L.A = πrs
L.A = 3.14(2)(6)
L.A = 37.68 cm2

Step 2: Find the surface area. Use S.A. = L.A + B

S.A = L.A + B
S.A = πrs + πr2
S.A = 37.68 + 3.14 (22)
S.A = 37.68 + 3.14 (4)
S.A = 37.68 + 12.56
S.A.= 50.24 cm2
