I know that you have to unfold the origami paper crane, but how do you find the surface area of it???????????????????????????/ please help...........
Do you remember the formula for determining area? For a flat object (like your paper) the formula is Length X Width = Area. or LW=A So unfold your paper, and measure the length and the width, and simply multiply the two numbers. The resulting number will be your area. Of course, that is the area of the unfolded paper. Your crane in it's folded form will have a much different, and harder to find, surface area value.
This is a possible way 1 Fold a crane from a white sheet 2 paint the crane black whit a pen 3 unfold 4 you will have now a white sheet with a series of black triangles 5 measure and find the surface area of each triangle 6 sum the areas and you will have the total surface area of the crane
