Chapter 13: Surface Areas and Volumes

Complete Original Revision Guide • 27 Pages • Made for CBSE Students 🦖

Page 1: Introduction

Chapter deals with surface area and volume of 3D solids and combinations.

Solids: cuboid, cube, cylinder, cone, sphere, hemisphere, frustum.

Conversion problems (melting/recording) very common.

Page 2: Cuboid and Cube

Cuboid TSA = 2(lb + bh + hl)
Volume = lbh
Cube TSA = 6a², Volume = a³

Page 3: Cylinder

CSA = 2πrh
TSA = 2πr(h + r)
Volume = πr²h

Page 4: Cone

Slant l = √(r² + h²)
CSA = πrl
TSA = πr(l + r)
Volume = (1/3)πr²h

Page 5: Sphere and Hemisphere

Sphere: SA = 4πr², Volume = (4/3)πr³
Hemisphere: CSA = 2πr², TSA = 3πr², Volume = (2/3)πr³

Page 6: Frustum of Cone

l = √[h² + (R - r)²]
CSA = π(R + r)l
TSA = π(R + r)l + π(R² + r²)
Volume = (1/3)πh(R² + Rr + r²)

Page 7: Combination of Solids

Add/subtract volumes and surfaces accordingly.

Common: cone on cylinder, hemisphere on cube.

Page 8: Conversion of Solid

Volume remains same in melting/recording.

Use Volume₁ = Volume₂ to find unknown dimension.
