Study Notes

  • Surface area is the total area of the surface of a three-dimensional object
  • It is calculated by summing the areas of all the faces or surfaces of the object

Surface Area Formulas

  • Cube: 6s², where s is the length of a side
  • Rectangular Prism: 2(lw + lh + wh), where l is length, w is width, and h is height
  • Sphere: 4Ï€r², where r is the radius
  • Cylinder: 2Ï€r(h + r) = 2Ï€rh + 2Ï€r², where r is the radius and h is the height
  • Cone: Ï€r(r + √(h² + r²)), where r is the radius and h is the height
  • Square Pyramid: b² + 2bs, where b is the base side length, and s is the slant height
  • Tetrahedron: √3 * a^2, where a is the side length
  • Torus: (Ï€d)(Ï€D) = Ï€^2Dd, where D is the diameter from the center of the tube to the center of the torus, and d is the diameter of the tube
  • Ellipsoid: ≈ 4Ï€( (a^p * b^p + a^p * c^p + b^p * c^p) / 3 )^(1/p), where a, b, c are the semi-axes and p ≈ 1.6075

Volume Calculation Techniques

  • Volume is the measure of the amount of space inside a three-dimensional object
  • Prism: Area of base × height
  • Cylinder: Ï€r²h, where r is the radius and h is the height
  • Sphere: (4/3)Ï€r³, where r is the radius
  • Cone: (1/3)Ï€r²h, where r is the radius and h is the height
  • Pyramid: (1/3) × area of base × height
  • Cube: s³, where s is the length of a side
  • Rectangular Prism: lwh, where l is length, w is width, and h is height

Comparing 2D and 3D Shapes

  • 2D shapes exist on a flat plane and are defined by two dimensions: length and width
  • Examples of 2D shapes include squares, circles, triangles, and rectangles
  • 2D shapes have area, which measures the amount of space they cover
  • 3D shapes occupy three-dimensional space and have length, width, and height
  • Examples of 3D shapes include cubes, spheres, cylinders, and pyramids
  • 3D shapes have both surface area and volume
  • Surface area measures the total area of the surfaces of the shape
  • Volume measures the amount of space enclosed by the shape
  • 2D shapes are flat and can be drawn on a piece of paper, while 3D shapes have depth and exist in the real world
  • 2D shapes are described by perimeters and areas, while 3D shapes are described by surface areas and volumes
