When classifying surface area and volume questions, it's helpful to categorize them by the

shapes involved. Here's a breakdown with formulas and examples:


1. Cubes and Cuboids:
●​ Cube:
○​ A cube has six equal square faces.
○​ Surface Area: 6a² (where 'a' is the side length)
○​ Volume: a³
○​ Cuboid:
○​ A cuboid has six rectangular faces.
○​ Surface Area: 2(lw + wh + lh) (where 'l' is length, 'w' is width, and 'h' is height)
○​ Volume: lwh
○​ Example:
■​ "A cuboid has length 5cm, width 3cm, and height 2cm. Find its surface area
and volume."
■​ Surface Area: 2(5x3 + 3x2 + 5x2) = 62 cm²
■​ Volume: 5x3x2 = 30 cm³
2. Cylinders:
●​ Cylinder:
○​ A cylinder has two circular bases and a curved surface.
○​ Curved Surface Area: 2πrh (where 'r' is the radius and 'h' is the height)
○​ Total Surface Area: 2πr(r + h)
○​ Volume: πr²h
○​ Example:
■​ "A cylinder has a radius of 4cm and a height of 10cm. Find its volume."
■​ Volume: π(4²)(10) = 160π cm³
3. Cones:
●​ Cone:
○​ A cone has a circular base and a curved surface that tapers to a point.
○​ Curved Surface Area: πrl (where 'l' is the slant height)
○​ Total Surface Area: πr(r + l)
○​ Volume: (1/3)πr²h
○​ Example:
■​ "A cone has a radius of 3cm and a height of 4cm. Find its volume."
■​ First find the slant height l, l=√(r²+h²)=5
■​ Volume: (1/3)π(3²)(4) = 12π cm³
4. Spheres:
●​ Sphere:
○​ A sphere is a perfectly round 3D object.
○​ Surface Area: 4πr²
○​ Volume: (4/3)πr³
○​ Example:
■​ "A sphere has a radius of 6cm. Find its surface area."
■​ Surface Area: 4π(6²) = 144π cm²
5. Combined Shapes:
●​ Many problems involve combinations of these shapes. For example, a question might
involve a cylinder with a cone on top.
●​ In these cases, you'll need to calculate the surface area and volume of each individual
shape and then add or subtract them as needed.
Key Considerations:
●​ Units: Always pay attention to the units of measurement.
●​ Formulas: Make sure you have the correct formulas for each shape.
●​ Problem-Solving: Break down complex problems into simpler steps.
