Key Points
Surface Areas And Volumes
Slant Height of a Cone
The slant height (), height (), and radius () of a right circular cone are related by the Pythagorean theorem. The formula is , which means .
Curved Surface Area of a Cone
The curved surface area (CSA) of a right circular cone is the area of its slanted surface. It is calculated using the formula , where is the radius of the base and is the slant height.
Total Surface Area of a Cone
The total surface area (TSA) of a cone is the sum of its curved area and the area of its circular base. The formula is , which simplifies to .
Volume of a Cone
The volume of a right circular cone is given by the formula . Here, is the radius of the base and is the perpendicular height of the cone.
Surface Area of a Sphere
A sphere has a single curved surface. The formula for its surface area is , where is the radius of the sphere.
Curved Surface Area of a Hemisphere
A hemisphere is half of a sphere. Its curved surface area (CSA) is half the surface area of the full sphere, given by the formula .
Total Surface Area of a Hemisphere
The total surface area (TSA) of a hemisphere is the sum of its curved surface area and the area of its flat circular base. The formula is .
Volume of a Sphere
The volume of a sphere is calculated using the formula , where is the radius of the sphere.
Volume of a Hemisphere
The volume of a hemisphere is half the volume of a full sphere. The formula is , where is the radius.
Cone and Cylinder Volume Relationship
The volume of a cone is exactly one-third the volume of a cylinder that has the same base radius () and the same height (). This means .
Units for Area and Volume
Remember that surface area is a two-dimensional measure and is always expressed in square units (like or ). Volume is a three-dimensional measure and is expressed in cubic units (like or ).
