Surface Area and Volume of Common Solid shapes

A prism is a solid which has uniform cross section. Cubes,
cuboids, and cylinders are examples of prisms. In general,
Volume of prism = area of uniform cross section X perpendicular
height

=area of base x height

Cube Cuboids
Cylinder
Triangular prism

Cube
Volume = l3
Surface area = 6l2

Cuboid
Volume =lbh
Surface area = 2 (lb + lh + bh)

Cylinder
Volume = πr2 h
Curved surface area = 2πrh
Total surface area = 2πrh + 2π r2
= 2πr ( h + r)
Examples
Calculate the volumes of the following solids. All lengths are in
cm.
a)
s
In the figure above, PQRS is a trapezium
b)
Calculate the total surface area of the solids in 1 (b) above
Solutions
1a.) Volume of prisms = area of uniform cross section X
perpendicular height
= area of base X length of the prism

Area of PQRS = ½ ( 7 + 4) X /QR/ cm2

4cm
Since /QR/ = / X S/
Consider triangle P X S

/ PX /2 + /XS/2= 52

3 2+ /XS/2 = 25
9 + / XS/2 = 25

/XS/2 = 25 – 9

/XS/2 = 16

/XS/ = √16cm = 4cm

Thus /XS/ = /QR/ = 4cm

Area of PQRS = ½ x ( 7 + 4) x /QR/ cm2
= ½ x 11 x 4 cm2
= 22cm2
Hence,
Volume of Prism = area of uniform cross section X length of
prism

= 22cm2 x 12cm
= 264cm3
(b) volume of given cylinder = πr2h
from the given cylinder,

r = d/2 = 14/2 cm = 7cm

h = 4cm
volume of given cylinder = π x (7) 2 x 4cm3
22/7 x 49 x 4cm
= 22 x 28cm3
= 616cm3
2a) To calculate the total surface area of the solid shapes in 1a
and b above.

2b) Total surface area of the given cylinder = 2πrh + 2πr2

= 2πr ( h + r)
= 2 x 22/7 x 7 ( 4+ 7 ) cm2
= 44 x 11cm2
= 484 cm2

EVALUATION
1a. A rectangular tank is 76cm long, 50cm wide and 40 cm high.
How many litres of water can it hold?
Calculate the total surface area of the rectangular tank in question
1a above
Surface area of a Cone
A sector of a circle can be bent to form the curved surface of an
open cone. In the figure below, the sector OA x B is of radius l
and arc A X B subtends angle θ at O. This sector is bent to form
a cone of base radius r and slant height
o
The following points should be noted
The area of the sector is equal to the area of the curved surface
of the cone . The length of arc A x B in the 1st part of the figure
above is the same as the circumference of the circular base of the
cone in the 2nd part of the figure above Curved surface area of
cone =θ x πl2 …………..0
360
Also,
θ x 2πl = 2 πr
360
Divide both sides by 2π

θ x 2πl = 2 πr
360 2π 2π
θ x l =r
360
divide both sides by l
θ = r
360 l
substitute r/l for θ in equation i) above:
360
Curve surface area of cone =r x πl2
l
= Πrl
Hence,
Total surface area = curved surface area of a cone + area of
circular base
= πr l +π r2
= πr ( l + r)

Examples
A paper cone has a diameter of 8cm and a height of 3cm

a). Make a sketch of the cone and hence use Pythagoras theorem
to calculate its slant height.

b). Calculate the curved surface area of the cone in terms of π

c ) If the cone is cut and opened out into the sector of a circle.
What is the angle of
the sector?

d) Assuming that the paper cone is closed at its base, what will be
the total surface area of the closed paper cone?
Solutions.
From the given information about the paper cone,
Diameter = 8cm
:. Radius = diameter
2
= 8cm = 4cm

using Pythagoras theorem in the right angled triangle OBC

l2 = /OB/2 + /BC/ 2
l2 = 32 + 42

l2 = 9 + 16
l2 = 25
Take square root of both sides

√ l2 =√ 25
l = 5cm
:.the slant height of the paper cone is 5cm

b) Curve surface area of the cone = πrl = π x 4 x 5 cm

= 20 πcm2
c)
If the paper cone is cut and opened out into the sector of a circle
as shown in the figure above, then
area of sector of circle = curved surface area of the cone

i.eθx π x (5) 2 = 20 x π
360

θx π x 25 = 20 x π

5 θ = 72 x 20
Divide both sides by 5
5 θ =72 x 20

5 θ = 72 x 4

θ = 288o

Volume of Pyramids and Volume of cone
In general,
Volume = 1/3 x base area x height
Square based pyramid rectangular based pyramid
Cone

:. Volume of square based pyramid = 1/3 x b2 x h

volume of rectangular based pyramid = 1/3 x l x b x h
volume of cone = 1/3 x Πr2 x h

Examples
1.A pyramid 8cm high stands on a rectangular base 6cm by
4cm.Calculate the volume of the pyramid.
A right pyramid on a base 4cm square has a slant edge of
6cm.Calculate the volume of the pyramid. Calculate the volume of
a cone 14cm in base diameter and 24cm high. Solutions
1) Volume of a rectangular based pyramid = 1/3 x l x b x h
= 1/3 x 6 x 4 x 8 cm3
= 8 x8 cm3
 = 64cm3

1. Considering the square base ABCD

/DB/ 2= /DC/ 2 + /CB/2

Pythagoras rule:

/DB/2 = 42 + 42
/B/2 = 16 + 16.

:. √/DB/ = √ 32

/DB/ = 4 √2 cm
but
/ EB/ = ½ /DB/
Since t is the midpoint of / DB/

Then /EB/ = ½ X 4 X √ 2

= 2 √2 cm.
Now
Consider right angle OEB
OE 2 + EB 2 = ( OB)2
OE 2+ ( 2√2) 2 = ( 6) 2
OE 2 + 4 x 2 = 36
OE 2 + 8 = 36
OE 2 = 36 – 8
OE2 = 28
OE = √28
OE = √4 x 7

OE = 2 x √ 7 cm
OE = 2 √7cm
But OE =height of the pyramid = 2√7
:.volume of square of based pyramid = 1/3 x b2 x h

1/3 x 42 x 2 x √7 cm3

1/3 x 16 x 2 x √7 cm3

= 32 x √7 cm3

32 x 2.646cmm3

= 32 x.0.882cm3
= 28. 224cm3
= 28.2cm3 to 1 d.p.

Since
Diameter = 14cm
Radius = diameter
2
= 14 cm.=7cm
2
:. Volume of cone = 1/3 πr2 h
= 1/3 x 22/7 x ( 7 ) 2 x 24

= 1/3 x 22/7 x 49 x 24 cm3

= 22 x 56cm3
= 1232 cm3
