Practical Problems Involving Three-Dimensional Figures

Eygptian Pyramid

In this topic, you are going to explore the surface area, lateral area, and volume of three-dimensional figures to include practical problems and composite figures. Composite figures are figures that are composed of more than one three-dimensional figure. See if you will be able to figure out if you will be finding the surface area, lateral area, and volume of practical problems.
