Volume of Cubes and Cuboids
- Volume is the amount of space a 3D shape takes up.
- For a cuboid with length l, width w, height h: V = lwh.
- A cube is a special cuboid with all sides equal: V = s3.
- Units are cubic, e.g. cm³, m³.
Cuboid
Volume of Prisms
- A prism has a constant cross-sectional area A and length l.
- Volume formula: V = A l (given in exam).
- The cross-section can be any shape (e.g. triangle, L-shape).
- Find the area of the cross-section first, then multiply by length.
Prism
Volume of Cylinders
- A cylinder is like a prism with a circular base.
- Volume: V = \π r2 h (given in exam).
- r = radius, h = height.
Cylinder
Volume of Pyramids and Cones
- Pyramid volume: V = \frac{1}{3} A h (given), where A = base area, h = perpendicular height.
- Cone volume: V = \frac{1}{3} \π r2 h (given).
- The height must be perpendicular to the base.
Pyramid
Volume of Spheres
- Sphere volume: V = \frac{4}{3} \π r3 (given).
- A hemisphere is half a sphere: V = \frac{2}{3} \π r3.

Problem Solving with Volumes
- Real-life problems often combine volume with other topics (e.g. money).
- For compound shapes, split into standard solids and add volumes.
- For fractions of shapes (e.g. hemisphere), find the full volume then take the fraction.
- Always check units and round as required (e.g. 3 significant figures).

Surface Area of Cuboids and Prisms
- Surface area is the sum of areas of all faces.
- For a cuboid: SA = 2(lw + lh + wh).
- Drawing a net helps identify all faces.
- For prisms, calculate area of each face (including bases) and add.
Cuboid
Surface Area of Cylinders
- Curved surface area: A = 2\π r h (given).
- Total surface area: SA = 2\π r h + 2\π r2 (not given).
- The net is two circles and a rectangle.

Surface Area of Cones and Spheres
- Cone curved surface: A = \π r l (given), l = slant height.
- Cone total: SA = \π r l + \π r2.
- Sphere surface: A = 4\π r2 (given).
- Hemisphere: SA = 2\π r2 + \π r2 = 3\π r2.
