Key Topics to Revise

1

Surface Area of Right Circular Cone

  • A right circular cone is formed by rotating a right-angled triangle about one of its perpendicular sides
  • Key elements: vertex (A), height (h), radius (r), slant height (l)
  • Relationship between dimensions: l² = r² + h² (Pythagoras theorem)
2

Surface Area of Sphere and Hemisphere

  • Sphere is formed by rotating a circle about its diameter
  • All points on sphere are equidistant from center (radius)
  • Hemisphere is half of a sphere with one curved face and one flat circular base
3

Volume of Right Circular Cone

  • Volume of cone is one-third of volume of cylinder with same base and height
  • Experimental verification: 3 cone-fulls fill 1 cylinder completely
  • Height must be perpendicular distance from vertex to base
4

Volume of Sphere and Hemisphere

  • Volume formulas derived from water displacement experiments
  • Sphere volume is (4/3) times the cube of radius
  • Hemisphere volume is exactly half of sphere volume
