Study Notes
Area of a Polygon
- Area is the two-dimensional space inside a flat object's boundary, measured in square units.
Area Formulas for Common Shapes
- Square: Area $A = s^2$, where $s$ is the side length.
- Rectangle: Area $A = b \times h$, where $b$ is the base and $h$ is the height.
- Triangle: Area $A = \tfrac{1}{2} \times b \times h$, where $b$ is the base and $h$ is the height.
- Trapezium: Area $A = \tfrac{1}{2} \times (a + b) \times h$, where $a$ and $b$ are the bases and $h$ is the height.
- Parallelogram: Area $A = b \times h$, where $b$ is the base and $h$ is the height.
- Circle: Area $A = \pi r^2$ and Circumference $= 2\pi r$, where $r$ is the radius.
Right Prisms and Cylinders
- A right prism is a geometric solid that has a polygon as its base and vertical faces that are perpendicular to the base.
- The base and top surface of a right prism are the same shape and size.
- The angles between the base and faces are right angles.
- Examples of right prisms include triangular prisms (with a triangle as its base), rectangular prisms (with a rectangle as its base), and cubes (a rectangular prism with all sides of equal length).
- A cylinder has a circle as its base.
Surface Area of Prisms and Cylinders
- Surface area is the total area of the outer surfaces of a prism.
- To calculate surface area, find the area of each face and add them together.
- Examples:
- Rectangular Prism: Six rectangles.
- Cube: Six identical squares.
- Triangular Prism: Two triangles and three rectangles.
- Cylinder: Two circles and a rectangle (where the length equals the circumference of the circles).
Volume of Prisms and Cylinders
- Volume is the three-dimensional space occupied by an object, measured in cubic units.
- The volume of right prisms and cylinders is calculated by multiplying the area of the base by the height.
- Rectangular Prism: Volume = length $\times$ width $\times$ height
- Triangular Prism: Volume $= (\tfrac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height of triangle}) \times \text{height of prism}$
- Cylinder: Volume $= \pi \times r^2 \times h$
Right Pyramids, Right Cones, and Spheres
- A pyramid is a geometric solid with a polygon base and faces converging at a point (apex).
- The faces of a pyramid are not perpendicular to the base.
- A right pyramid has its apex perpendicular to the center of its base.
- Cones are similar to pyramids but have circular bases.
- Spheres are perfectly round solids that appear the same from any direction.
Surface Area of Pyramids, Cones, and Spheres
- Square Pyramid:
- Surface Area $= \text{Area of base} + \text{Area of triangular sides}$
- $= b^2 + 4(\tfrac{1}{2} b,h_s) = b(b + 2h_s)$
- Triangular Pyramid:
- Surface Area $= \text{Area of base} + \text{Area of triangular sides}$
- $= (\tfrac{1}{2},b \times h_b) + 3(\tfrac{1}{2},b \times h_s) = \tfrac{1}{2} b (h_b + 3h_s)$
- Right Cone:
- Surface Area $= \text{Area of base} + \text{Area of walls}$
- $= \pi r^2 + \pi r h = \pi r(r + h)$
- Sphere:
- Surface Area $= 4\pi r^2$
Volume of Pyramids, Cones, and Spheres
- Square Pyramid:
- Volume $= \tfrac{1}{3} \times \text{Area of base} \times \text{Height of pyramid}$
- $ = \tfrac{1}{3} \times b^2 \times H$
- Triangular Pyramid:
- Volume $= \tfrac{1}{3} \times \text{Area of base} \times \text{Height of pyramid}$
- $ = \tfrac{1}{3} \times \tfrac{1}{2} b,h \times H$
- Right Cone:
- Volume $= \tfrac{1}{3} \times \text{Area of base} \times \text{Height of cone}$
- $ = \tfrac{1}{3} \times \pi r^2 \times H$
- Sphere:
- Volume $= \tfrac{4}{3},\pi r^3$
The Effect of Multiplying a Dimension by a Factor of $k$
- When one or more dimensions of a prism or cylinder are multiplied by a constant factor $k$, both the surface area and volume change.
Rectangular Prism
- Original Dimensions:
- Volume: $V = l \times b \times h$
- Surface Area: $A = 2(lh + lb + bh)$
- Multiply One Dimension by 5 (New Dimensions: $l, b, 5h$):
- $V_1 = l \times b \times 5h = 5(lbh) = 5V$
- $A_1 = 2(5lh + lb + 5bh)$
- Multiply Two Dimensions by 5 (New Dimensions: $5l, b, 5h$):
- $V_2 = 5l \times b \times 5h = 25(lbh) = 25V$
- $A_2 = 2(25lh + 5lb + 5bh)$
- Multiply All Three Dimensions by 5 (New Dimensions: $5l, 5b, 5h$):
- $V_3 = 5l \times 5b \times 5h = 125(lbh) = 125V$
- $A_3 = 2(25lh + 25lb + 25bh) = 25 \times 2(lh + lb + bh) = 25A$
- Multiply All Dimensions by (k) (New Dimensions: $kl, kb, kh$):
- $V_k = (kl)(kb)(kh) = k^3(lbh) = k^3 V$
- $A_k = 2(kl \times kh + kl \times kb + kb \times kh) = k^2 \times 2(lh + lb + bh) = k^2 A$
- General Observations:
- Multiplying one dimension by $k$ multiplies the volume by $k$.
- Multiplying two dimensions by $k$ multiplies the volume by $k^2$.
- Multiplying all three dimensions by $k$ multiplies the volume by $k^3$ and the surface area by $k^2$.
- Summary:
- Volume: $V_k = k^3 V$
- Surface Area: $A_k = k^2 A$
Cylinders
- Volume: $V = \pi r^2 h$
- Surface Area: $A = \pi r^2 + 2\pi r h$
- Multiply the Radius by $k$ (New Dimensions: $kr, h$):
- $V_k = \pi (kr)^2 h = k^2 \pi r^2 h = k^2 V$
- $A_k = \pi (kr)^2 + 2\pi (kr)h = k^2 \pi r^2 + 2k \pi r h$
- Multiply the Height by $k$ (New Dimensions: $r, kh$):
- $V_k = \pi r^2 (kh) = k \pi r^2 h = kV$
- $A_k = \pi r^2 + 2\pi r (kh) = \pi r^2 + k (2\pi r h)$
- General Observations:
- Multiplying the radius by $k$ multiplies the volume by $k^2$.
- Multiplying the height by $k$ multiplies the volume by $k$.
