- Turn to page 135 of “Extend Your Thinking” in MathWorks 11, and do question 6. Answer
The cup has an open top, so you will need to adjust the formula for the surface area of a cone.

It is now time to add new math terms to Mathematics 20-3: Glossary Terms.
In this lesson the new term you will add is
- sphere

At this time, you may want to add the surface area formulas for a sphere, cone, cylinder, rectangular prism, and cube to your Formula Sheet. You will be referring to these formulas throughout the module.
