Volume of Cubes and Cuboids

Volume of a cuboid: V = lwh (length × width × height).
A cube is a special cuboid with all sides equal: V = s³.
Terms like 'depth' or 'breadth' may be used instead of height or width.

Cuboid

Volume of Prisms

Volume of a prism: V = A × l where A is the cross-sectional area and l is the length.
The cross-section is constant throughout the prism.
If the volume and length are known, the cross-sectional area can be found by rearranging: A = V / l.

Prism

Volume of Cylinders

Volume of a cylinder: V = πr²h (given in exam).
A cylinder is like a prism with a circular cross-section.

Cylinder

Volume of Pyramids and Cones

Volume of a pyramid: V = (1/3) × base area × perpendicular height.
Volume of a cone: V = (1/3)πr²h (given in exam).
The height must be perpendicular to the base.

Pyramid

Volume of Spheres

Volume of a sphere: V = (4/3)πr³ (given in exam).
A hemisphere is half a sphere: V = (2/3)πr³.

Problem Solving with Volumes

For compound shapes, find volumes of individual parts and add or subtract.
For frustums (truncated cones/pyramids), subtract the smaller volume from the larger.
Always check units and convert if necessary (e.g., cm to m, litres).
Real-world problems often combine volume with cost or capacity.

Surface Area of Cubes, Cuboids, Prisms, and Pyramids

Surface area is the sum of the areas of all faces.
For flat-faced solids, calculate each face area separately and add.
Drawing a net can help visualise all faces.

Net of a pyramid

Surface Area of Cylinders

Curved surface area: A = 2πrh (given in exam).
Total surface area: A = 2πrh + 2πr² (not given).
The net consists of two circles and a rectangle.

Net of a cylinder

Surface Area of Cones

Curved surface area: A = πrl where l is slant height (given in exam).
Total surface area: A = πrl + πr² (not given).
Slant height l can be found using Pythagoras: l = √(r² + h²).

Net of a cone

Surface Area of Spheres and Hemispheres

Surface area of a sphere: A = 4πr² (given in exam).
Hemisphere curved surface area: 2πr²; total (including base): 3πr².

Hard
- ASlant height l = 13x, cone total SA = π(5x)(13x) + π(5x)² = 65πx² + 25πx² = 90πx². Sphere SA = 4πr². Equate: 4πr² = 90πx² => r² = (90/4)x² = (45/2)x².
- BSlant height l = √((5x)²+(12x)²)=13x, cone curved SA = π(5x)(13x)=65πx², base area = 25πx², total = 90πx². Sphere SA = 4πr². So r² = (90/4)x² = 22.5x² = (45/2)x².
- CCone total SA = πrl + πr² = π(5x)(12x) + π(5x)² = 60πx² + 25πx² = 85πx², then r² = 85/4 x².
- DCone total SA = πr(r+l) = 5πx(5x+13x)=5πx(18x)=90πx², sphere SA = 4πr², so r² = (90/4)x² = (45/2)x².

## Volume & Surface Area - Quick Revision ### Volume Formulas - **Cuboid**: \(V = l \times w \times h\) (not given) - **Prism**: \(V = A \times l\) where \(A\) = cross-sectional area, \(l\) = length (given) - **Cylinder**: \(V = \pi r^2 h\) (given) - **Pyramid**: \(V = \frac{1}{3} A h\) (given) - **Cone**: \(V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h\) (given) - **Sphere**: \(V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3\) (given) ### Surface Area Formulas - **Cuboid**: Sum of areas of 6 faces (2× each pair) - **Cylinder**: Curved = \(2\pi r h\) (given); Total = \(2\pi r h + 2\pi r^2\) - **Cone**: Curved = \(\pi r l\) (given); Total = \(\pi r l + \pi r^2\) - **Sphere**: \(A = 4\pi r^2\) (given) - **Hemisphere**: Curved = \(2\pi r^2\); Total = \(3\pi r^2\) ### Problem Solving Tips - For compound shapes, break into standard solids and add/subtract volumes. - For frustums, subtract smaller cone/pyramid from larger. - For prisms with compound cross-section, find area of cross-section first. - Watch units: convert cm to m, litres (1 litre = 1000 cm³). - Read carefully: sometimes only curved surface area is asked. ### Key Points - Only cuboid volume formula is not given; memorise it. - All other volume and curved surface formulas are in the exam. - Total surface area formulas for cylinder, cone, hemisphere are not given; derive by adding base areas. - In non-calculator questions, leave answers in terms of π. - For spheres, remember diameter = 2r. ### Common Question Types - Volume of prism given cross-sectional area and length. - Volume of cylinder/cone/sphere (exact or in terms of π). - Surface area of cuboid (net helpful). - Total surface area of cylinder/cone/hemisphere. - Problem solving: water flow, melting solids, cost calculations.

Volume: The amount of space a 3D shape occupies, measured in cubic units.
Surface Area: The total area of all the faces (flat or curved) of a 3D shape.
Prism: A 3D shape with a constant cross-section along its length; volume = cross-sectional area × length.
Cylinder: A prism with circular cross-section; volume = πr²h, curved surface area = 2πrh.
Cone: A pyramid with a circular base; volume = (1/3)πr²h, curved surface area = πrl (l = slant height).

Hemisphere: Half a sphere; curved surface area = 2πr², total surface area = 3πr².
Frustum: A truncated cone or pyramid; volume = volume of larger cone/pyramid minus volume of smaller.
Cross-section: The shape obtained by cutting through a 3D object perpendicular to its length; used to find volume of prisms.
Slant Height: The distance along the curved surface from the apex to the base edge of a cone (l).
