Surface Area and Volume of Solids

Mathematics · Form 2 - 3

Solid Volume Surface area
Cuboid $lwh$ $2(lw + lh + wh)$
Cube $a^3$ $6a^2$
Prism (cross-section area) $\times$ length perimeter $\times$ length $+$ 2 (end areas)
Cylinder $\pi r^2 h$ $2\pi r h + 2\pi r^2$
Pyramid $\tfrac{1}{3}\times$ base area $\times h$ base $+$ areas of triangular faces
Cone $\tfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h$ $\pi r l + \pi r^2$
Sphere $\tfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3$ $4\pi r^2$
Hemisphere $\tfrac{2}{3}\pi r^3$ $3\pi r^2$ (curved $2\pi r^2$ + base $\pi r^2$)

For a cone, slant height $l = \sqrt{r^2 + h^2}$.

Frustum of a cone (radii $R$ and $r$, height $h$)

$$V = \tfrac{1}{3}\pi h\,(R^2 + Rr + r^2)$$ Find it as (big cone) $-$ (small cone removed). Curved surface area $= \pi l (R + r)$ where $l$ is the slant height of the frustum.

Capacity and mass

  • $1\ \text{cm}^3 = 1\ \text{ml}$, $\quad 1000\ \text{cm}^3 = 1\ \text{litre}$, $\quad 1\ \text{m}^3 = 1000\ \text{litres}$. $$\text{Density} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}} \qquad \text{Mass} = \text{density}\times\text{volume}$$
