FACTS  AND  FORMULAE  FOR  VOLUME  AND  SURFACE  AREA  QUESTIONS

 

 

I. CUBOID

   Let length=l, breadth =b and height =h units. Then,

1. Volume = (l x b x h)

2. Surface area = 2(lb +bh + lh) sq.units

3. Diagonal =l2+b2+h2 units

 

 

II. CUBE 

Let each edge of a cube be of length a. Then,

1. Volume = a3 cubic units.

2. Surface area = 6a2 sq.units

3. Diagonal = 3a units

 

 

III. CYLINDER 

Let radius of base = r and Height (or Length) = h. Then, 

1.Volume = πr2h cubic units 

2. Curved surface area = 2πrh sq.units

3. Total surface area = 2πrh+2πr2 sq.units

 

 

IV. CONE 

Let radius of base =r and Height = h. Then, 

1. Slant height, l=h2+r2 units

 

2. Volume = 13πr2h cubic units.

 

3. Curved surface area = πrlsq.units 

 

4. Total surface area = πrl+πr2sq.units

 

 

V. SPHERE 

Let the radius of the sphere be r. Then, 

1. Volume =43πr3 cubic units

2. Surface area = 4πr2 sq.units

 

 

VI. HEMISPHERE 

Let the radius of a hemisphere be r. Then, 

1. Volume = 23πr3 cubic units.

2. Curved surface area = 2πr2 sq.units

3. Total surface area = 3πr2 sq.units
