Overview

This chapter extends your knowledge from Class IX about basic solids (cuboid, cone, cylinder, and sphere) to solve real-world problems involving combinations of these shapes. You'll learn to calculate surface areas and volumes of complex objects made by joining two or more basic solids, such as cont

Key Concepts

Real

Real-world objects are often made by joining two or more basic solids together. Examples include truck containers (cylinder with hemispheres), test tu

When calculating surface area of combined

When calculating surface area of combined solids, we add the visible curved surface areas of individual components. The flat surfaces that join togeth

Unlike surface area

Unlike surface area, the volume of a composite solid is simply the sum of volumes of all individual components. No surface area is lost when calculati

Break down complex solids into recognizable

Break down complex solids into recognizable basic shapes, identify visible surfaces for surface area calculations, and sum individual volumes for tota
