Topics in Surface Area and Volume

1

Recall: Basic 3D Shapes

  • Cuboid: Has 6 rectangular faces with length (l), breadth (b), and height (h)
  • Cube: Special cuboid where all edges are equal (l = b = h)
  • Cylinder: Has circular bases with radius (r) and height (h)
2

Cone - Structure and Relationships

  • A cone has a circular base and a curved surface meeting at vertex (apex)
  • Important elements: base radius (r), perpendicular height (h), slant height (l)
  • Relationship between dimensions: l² = h² + r² (Pythagoras theorem)
3

Surface Area of Cone

  • Cone has two surfaces: circular base and curved surface
  • Curved surface area derived from sector area = πrl
  • Total surface area includes both base and curved surface
4

Volume of Cone

  • Volume relationship: 3 × Volume of cone = Volume of cylinder (same base, same height)
  • Uses perpendicular height, not slant height
  • Formula derived through practical activity with sand
