Surface Area
- Definition: The total area that the surface of an object occupies.
-
Formulas:
- Cube: ( SA = 6a^2 ) (where ( a ) is the length of a side)
- Rectangular Prism: ( SA = 2(lb + bh + hl) ) (where ( l ), ( b ), and ( h ) are length, breadth, and height)
- Sphere: ( SA = 4\pi r^2 ) (where ( r ) is the radius)
- Cylinder: ( SA = 2\pi r(h + r) ) (where ( r ) is the radius and ( h ) is the height)
- Cone: ( SA = \pi r(l + r) ) (where ( l ) is the slant height)
Area of Shapes
-
Basic Shapes:
- Square: ( A = a^2 ) (where ( a ) is the length of a side)
- Rectangle: ( A = lw ) (where ( l ) is length and ( w ) is width)
- Triangle: ( A = \frac{1}{2}bh ) (where ( b ) is the base and ( h ) is the height)
- Circle: ( A = \pi r^2 ) (where ( r ) is the radius)
- Composite Shapes: Divide into known shapes, calculate areas, and sum them up.
Volume Calculations
- Definition: The amount of space occupied by a three-dimensional object.
-
Formulas:
- Cube: ( V = a^3 )
- Rectangular Prism: ( V = lbh )
- Sphere: ( V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 )
- Cylinder: ( V = \pi r^2 h )

- Real-world Applications: Used in architecture, engineering, and various fields requiring space measurement.
- Practice: Solve practical problems to apply formulas and solidify understanding.
Surface Area
- Surface area refers to the total area covered by the surface of a three-dimensional object.
- Cube: Calculated as ( SA = 6a^2 ) where ( a ) represents the length of one side.
- Rectangular Prism: For a rectangular prism, the surface area is determined by the formula ( SA = 2(lb + bh + hl) ) with ( l ) as length, ( b ) as breadth, and ( h ) as height.
- Sphere: The surface area is given by ( SA = 4\pi r^2 ), with ( r ) indicating the radius.
- Cylinder: The formula for surface area is ( SA = 2\pi r(h + r) ), where ( r ) is the radius and ( h ) is the height of the cylinder.
- Cone: Surface area can be calculated with ( SA = \pi r(l + r) ), where ( l ) stands for the slant height.
Area of Shapes
- The area is a measure of the extent of a two-dimensional surface.
- Square: Area is calculated using ( A = a^2 ) where ( a ) is the side length.
- Rectangle: For rectangles, the area is computed as ( A = lw ), with ( l ) as length and ( w ) as width.
- Triangle: The area of a triangle can be found using ( A = \frac{1}{2}bh ) where ( b ) is the base and ( h ) is the height.
- Circle: The area is determined by ( A = \pi r^2 ) using the radius ( r ).
- Composite Shapes: To find the area of complex shapes, divide them into simpler known shapes, calculate individual areas, then sum them.
Volume Calculations
- Volume measures the amount of space a three-dimensional object occupies.
- Cube: The formula for volume is ( V = a^3 ).
- Rectangular Prism: Volume is calculated as ( V = lbh ).
- Sphere: The volume of a sphere is given by ( V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 ).
- Cylinder: For cylinders, the volume is ( V = \pi r^2 h ).
- Cone: The volume of a cone is calculated using ( V = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h ).
- Volume is typically expressed in cubic units, such as cubic centimeters (cm³) or cubic meters (m³).
