Volume and surface area

Cuboids:

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

  1. Volume = (l × b × h) cubic units.

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

  3. Diagonal = √(l2+b2+h2) units.

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.

                                        = 2πr(h + r) sq. units.

Cone:

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

  1. Slant height, l = √(h2 + r2) units.

  2. Volume = (1 πr2h/3 cubic units.

  3. Curved surface area = (πrl) sq. units.

  4. Total surface area = (πrl + πr2) sq. units.

Hemisphere:

Let the radius of a hemisphere be r. Then,

  1. Volume = (2πr3/3) cubic units.

  2. Curved surface area = (2πr2) sq. units.

  3. Total surface area = (3πr2) sq. units. (curved surface + top circular surface)
