What to Focus On

  • Solid figures are three-dimensional objects.
  • Surface area means boundary area.
  • Volume means space enclosed inside.

  • A cuboid has six rectangular faces.
  • A cube is a special cuboid where l = b = h = a.
  • Cuboid surface area = 2(lb + bh + hl).

  • A cylinder has two circular flat ends and one curved surface.
  • Cylinder CSA = 2πrh.
  • Cylinder TSA = 2πr(r + h).

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Total surface area of a cone is πrl.

A hemisphere has total surface area 2πr².

Volume of a hemisphere is thrice the volume of a cone with the same base and height.

Memory Tips
