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 = $\sqrt{l^{2} + b^{2} + h^{2}}$ units

II. CUBE

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

1. Volume = $a^{3}$ cubic units.

2. Surface area = $6 a^{2}$ sq.units

3. Diagonal = $\sqrt{3} a$ units

III. CYLINDER

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

1.Volume = $({πr}^{2} h)$ cubic units

2. Curved surface area = $(2 π r h)$ sq.units

3. Total surface area = $(2 πrh + 2 {πr}^{2})$ sq.units

IV. CONE

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

1. Slant height, $l = \sqrt{h^{2} + r^{2}}$ units

2. Volume = $(\frac{1}{3} {πr}^{2} h)$ cubic units.

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

4. Total surface area = $(πrl + {πr}^{2})$ sq.units

V. SPHERE

Let the radius of the sphere be r. Then,

1. Volume = $(\frac{4}{3} {πr}^{3})$ cubic units

2. Surface area = $(4 {πr}^{2})$ sq.units

VI. HEMISPHERE

Let the radius of a hemisphere be r. Then,

1. Volume = $(\frac{2}{3} {πr}^{3})$ cubic units.

2. Curved surface area = $(2 {πr}^{2})$ sq.units

3. Total surface area = $(3 {πr}^{2})$ sq.units
