What to Focus On

  • Cuboid, cube, cylinder, cone, sphere, and hemisphere each have fixed formulae.
  • Use the correct symbol meanings before substituting values.
  • For cone, slant height is found by l = √(h2 + r2).
  • A frustum comes from a cone cut parallel to its base.
  • The cut produces one smaller cone and one frustum.
  • A drinking glass and the water in it are examples of this shape.
  • The water rises to the full height of the strip.
  • The beaker is treated as a cylinder.
  • The cylinder volume up to height 2r is 2πr3.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A sector is the same as a segment.

Minor sector and major sector are just two names for the same region.

A segment formed by a diameter is just another minor segment.
