Surface area of Cuboids
Outer surface of a cuboid is made up of six rectangles (in fact, rectangular regions, called the faces of the cuboid), whose areas can be found by multiplying length by breadth for each of them separately and then adding the six areas together. Surface Area of a Cuboid = 2(lb + bh + hl) Where, l, b and h are respectively the three edges of the cuboid.

Surface area of a Cube

A cuboid, whose length, breadth and height are all equal, is called a cube. If each edge of the cube is a, then the surface area of this cube would be

Surface Area of a Cube = 6a2

Where, a is the edge of the cube.

Curved Surface area of a Cylinder
The area of the sheet gives us the curved surface area of the cylinder; the length of the sheet is equal to the circumference of the circular base which is equal to 2r. So, curved surface area of the cylinder = Area of the rectangular sheet = length breadth = perimeter of the base of the cylinder h = 2r h Curved Surface Area of a Cylinder = 2rh

Where, r is the radius of the base of the cylinder and h is the height of the cylinder.

Total Surface area of a Cylinder

In the case of a cylinder, unless stated otherwise, radius of a cylinder shall mean base radius of the cylinder. If the top and the bottom of the cylinder are also to be covered, then we need two circles (infact, circular regions) to do that, each of radius r, and thus having an area of r2 each, giving us the total surface area as 2rh + 2r2 = 2r(r+h) Total Surface Area of a Cylinder = 2r(r+h)

Where, h is the height of the cylinder and r its radius.

Surface area of Sphere
The surface area of a sphere of radius r = 4 times the area of a circle of radius r = 4 . So, Surface Area of a sphere = Where, r is the radius of the sphere.

Curved Surface area of Hemisphere

The curved surface area of a hemisphere is half the surface area of the sphere, which is half of Curved Surface Area of a Hemisphere =

Where, r is the radius of the sphere of which the hemisphere is a part.

Total Surface area of Hemisphere

Taking the two Surface Area of a Hemisphere, its surface area

Total Surface Area of a Hemisphere =

Volume of Cuboids
The area of the plane region occupied by each rectangle height = Measure of the space occupied by the cuboid So, we get A h =V That is, Volume of a Cuboid = base area height = length breadth height Where l, b and h are respectively the length, breadth and height of the cuboid.

Volume of a Cube
When we measure the magnitude of the region of a space, that is, the space occupied by a solid, we do so by counting the number of cubes of edge of unit length that can fit into it exactly. Therefore, the unit of measurement of volume is cubic unit. Again, Volume of a Cube = edge edge edge = a3 Where, a is the edge of the cube. So, if a cube has edge of 12 cm, then volume of the cube = 12 12 12 cm3 = 1728 cm3

Volume of a Cylinder Volume of a cylinder can be obtained as: base area height = area of circular base height = Volume of a Cylinder = Where r is the base radius and h is the height of the cylinder. Volume of a Cone Volume of a cone makes up the volume of a cylinder, which has the same base radius and the same base radius and the same height as the cone, which means that the volume of the cone is one-third the volume of the cylinder. So, Volume of a cone = Where r is the base radius and h is the height of the cone.

Volume of a Sphere The volume of the sphere is equal to radius. This gives us the idea that times the cube of its

Volume of a Sphere = Where r is the radius of the sphere. Volume of a Hemisphere A hemisphere is half of a sphere, can so the volume of a Hemisphere is half the volume sphere, . So,

Volume of a Hemisphere =

Where r is the radius of the hemisphere.
