Study Notes

Surface Area of 3D Shapes

Formulae:

  • Rectangular Prism:
    • Surface Area (SA) = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
    • Where l = length, w = width, and h = height
  • Cube:
    • SA = 6s^2
    • Where s = side length
  • Cylinder:
    • SA = 2πr(h + r)
    • Where r = radius and h = height
  • Sphere:
    • SA = 4πr^2
    • Where r = radius
  • Cone:
    • SA = πr(r + l)
    • Where r = radius and l = slant height

Key Concepts:

  • Lateral Surface Area (LSA): The area of the sides of a 3D shape, excluding the top and bottom.
  • Total Surface Area (TSA): The sum of the LSA and the area of the top and bottom surfaces.

Calculating Surface Area:

  • To find the surface area, break down the shape into its constituent parts (e.g., faces, sides, and bases).
  • Apply the relevant formulae to each part.
  • Add up the areas to find the total surface area.

Real-World Applications:

  • Designing packaging: understanding surface area is crucial for minimizing material usage and optimizing storage.
  • Architecture: calculating surface area helps architects determine the amount of materials needed for building facades and roofs.
  • Engineering: surface area is essential for designing efficient heat transfer systems, such as radiators and heat exchangers.
