What to Focus On

  • TSA means Total Surface Area.
  • CSA means Curved Surface Area.
  • Only exposed parts are counted in surface area problems.

  • Do not add full TSAs of joined solids.
  • Hidden faces are excluded.
  • A larger cone base over a smaller cylinder base leaves a ring-shaped exposed area.

  • Volumes of joined solids are added.
  • Volume problems use the full space occupied.
  • The formula depends on the shape of each part.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The total surface area of a combined solid is always the sum of the total surface areas of its parts.

The circle where a hemisphere is attached on a cube is still part of the surface area.

In surface area problems, the base area of the larger solid and the ring area around it can be ignored.
