Practice and Revision - Surface Area and Volume
Let us practise and revise what we learned about surface area and volume. Surface area and volume formulas for 3D shapes like cylinders, con
Core concept
A cylinder's total surface area is 2πr(r+h), and its volume is πr²h, where r is radius and h is height.
How it works
A cone's curved surface area is πrl (l is slant height), and its volume is (1/3)πr²h.
Why it matters
A sphere's surface area is 4πr², and its volume is (4/3)πr³, both depending only on the radius.
Key detail
These formulas are used in practical applications like calculating material needed for containers or capacity of tanks.

Quick notes
• Cylinder surface area = 2πr(r+h).
• Cylinder volume = πr²h.
• Cone curved surface area = πrl.
• Cone volume = (1/3)πr²h.
• Sphere surface area = 4πr².
• Sphere volume = (4/3)πr³.
• These depend on radius (height/slant height too).
• Used for containers, capacity calculations.
