Key Topics to Revise

1

Surface Area of a Right Circular Cone

  • A right circular cone is formed by rotating a right-angled triangle about one of its perpendicular sides
  • The cone has three main measurements: height (h), radius (r), and slant height (l)
  • The relationship between height, radius, and slant height is: l² = r² + h² (Pythagoras theorem)
2

Surface Area of a Sphere and Hemisphere

  • A sphere is formed by rotating a circle about its diameter
  • A sphere has only one curved surface (no flat faces)
  • A hemisphere is half of a sphere with one curved surface and one flat circular base
3

Volume of a Right Circular Cone

  • Volume of cone is one-third the volume of cylinder with same base and height
  • This relationship can be demonstrated practically by filling a cone three times to fill a cylinder
  • The formula involves base area (πr²) multiplied by height and divided by 3
4

Volume of a Sphere and Hemisphere

  • Volume of sphere can be determined experimentally by water displacement method
  • The formula involves (4/3) times π times radius cubed
  • Volume of hemisphere is exactly half the volume of corresponding sphere
