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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
