Cone

A cone is a solid with a circular base and sides that taper up towards a vertex. A cone is generated from rotating a right triangle, around one leg. A cone has a slant height.

Surface area

Surface area is a two-dimensional measurement that is the total area of all surfaces that bound a solid. The basic unit of area is the square unit. For the surface area of a cone we need the sum of the area of the base and the area of the side.

Surface Area of a Right Cone:

The surface of the base is the surface of a circle and you can use the formula:

The lateral surface is:

Volume of a cone

Remeber: if you want to find the volume of any solid you must figure out how much space it occupies. The basic unit of volume is the cubic unit.

Cylinder

A cylinder is a three-dimensional shape with a pair of parallel and congruent circular ends, called bases.

Cylinders can be right or oblique. The side of a right cylinder is perpendicular to its circular bases.

A cylinder has a single curved side that forms a rectangle when laid out flat.

Surface area of a cylinder

The area of each base is given by the area of a circle:

The area of the rectangular lateral area is given by the product of a width and height. The height is given as h; you can see that the width of the area is equal to the circumference of the circular base.

The circumference of a circle is given by:

Pyramid

A pyramid is a three dimensional shape made up of a base and triangular faces that meet up at the vertex, V, which is also called the apex of the pyramid.

Surface area of a pyramid

The surface area is composed by two parts: the area of the base and the lateral area.

Area of the base

It depends on the shape, you have to use the correct formula if the base is composed by a triangle, square, ecc.

Lateral surface

Since the side faces are triangles and the formula for the area of a triangle is

All you need to do is multiply the area of the base by the slant lenght and divide by two

Prism

A prism is a solid figure that has two parallel congruent sides that are called bases that are connected by the lateral faces that are parallelograms. There are both rectangular and triangular prisms.

Surface area of a Prism

If we want to find the total surface of a prism we need to add twice the surface of the base plus the lateral surface.

In order to find the surface of the base you only have to calculate the surface of a bidimensional shape.

The lateral surface is given by the perimeter of the base multiplied by the height:

Volume

To find the volume of a prism (it doesn’t matter if it is rectangular or triangular or else) we multiply the area of the base, called the base area S, by the height h.

Cuboid

A rectangular solid is also called a rectangular prism or cuboid.

In a rectangular solid, the lenght, width and height might be of different lenghts

Volume

The volume is found using the formula:

Inverse formulas:

Surface area

The total surface area (TSA) of a cuboid is the sum of the areas of its six faces.

That is:

For example:

Find the total surface area of a cuboid with dimensions 8 cm by 6 cm by 5 cm.

TSA = 2 (lw+wh+hl)

TSA = 2 (8⋅6+6⋅5+5⋅8) = 2(48+30+40) = 236 cm²

So, the total surface area of this cuboid is 236 cm²

For example:

To find the volume we mulptiply the sides.

Cube

A cube is a three-dimensional figure with six matching square sides.

The dotted lines indicate edges hidden from your view.

For example:

The length of the cube’s side is 3.8 cm.

Volume = S³ (Substitute the length in formula)

= 3.8³ (Multiply the length three times)

= 3.8 · 3.8 · 3.8 = 54.87 cm³

For example:

A cube shape box is filled with small balls and the length of box is 21 cm. What is the volume of cube box?

Volume = S³ (Substitute the length of box in formula)
= 213 (Expand the value in three)

= 21 · 21 · 21 (Multiply the value 21 three times)

= 9261 cm³

For example:
