Surface Areas & Volumes

Surface Area: It is the sum of the total exposed area of a three dimensional solid object. It’s unit can be cm2, m2 etc.
Volume: It is the amount of space occupied by an object. It’s unit can be cm3, m3, etc.

Combination of Solids PLEASE KEEP IN MIND

Shape Formula
 When a form of solid is converted into another one,
surface area may change but volume remains the same.

................. h ..................>
< ............ Area 4π r 2 + 2 π r h Hence, we equate the formula of volume of the other object,
to the value (in numbers) of the volume of the original object

.r to know the value of the new parameter.

h surface areas are equal, one cannot equate it with the formula.

 Please make a note: Units for volume is written as

<........... (unit)3 and that of surface areas is (unit)2.

take the sum of the volume of all the objects involved.
