Surface area and volume

 Surface area : Surface area is the sum of the areas of all the exposed surfaces of a solid.
 Volume: Volume is the space occupied by a solid.

SHAPE SURFACE AREA / DIAGONAL VOLUME

CUBE
Total surface area = 6a2
Lateral surface area = 4a2 Volume = a3
Diagonal = 𝑎√3

CUBOID Total surface area = 2(𝑙𝑏 + 𝑏ℎ + ℎ𝑙 )

Lateral surface area = 2(𝑙 + 𝑏) × ℎ Volume = lbh
( Area of 4 walls ) = Perimeter of the base x h

CYLINDER
Curved surface area = 2𝜋𝑟ℎ Volume = 𝜋𝑟 2 ℎ
Total surface area = 2𝜋𝑟(𝑟 + ℎ)

CONE Curved surface area = 𝜋𝑟𝑙
