What to Focus On

  • Volume measures space occupied by a solid.
  • Surface area measures the exposed outer part.
  • Cylinder, cone, and sphere are the main solids in this chapter.
  • Cylinder is formed by revolving a rectangle about one side.
  • Height is the side used as axis.
  • Generating line helps form the curved surface.
  • Hollow cylinders have two radii: R and r.
  • Volume of material = exterior volume - interior volume.
  • Curved surface area = external surface + internal surface.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The total surface area of a cylinder is always the same as its curved surface area.

The volume of a cylinder is found by multiplying circumference by height.

In a hollow cylinder, the material volume is found by subtracting radii first and then squaring once.
