SURFACE AREAS AND VOLUMES
(A) Main Concepts and Results
• The surface area of an object formed by combining any two of the basic solids,
namely, cuboid, cone, cylinder, sphere and hemisphere.
• The volume of an object formed by combining any two of the basic solids
namely, cuboid, cone, cylinder, sphere and hemisphere.
• The formulae involving the frustum of a cone are:
1
(i) Volume of the frustum of the cone = π h[ r12 + r22 + r1r2 ]
3
(ii) Curved surface area of the frustum of the cone = π(r1+r2)l,
(iii) Total surface area of the frustum of the solid cone
= πl(r1+r2)+ π r12 + π r22 , where l = h 2 + ( r1 – r2 ) 2 ,
h = vertical height of the frustum, l = slant height of the frustum and
r1 and r2 are radii of the two bases (ends) of the frustum.
• Solid hemisphere: If r is the radius of a hemisphere, then
curved surface area = 2πr2
2 3
total surface area = 3πr2, and volume = π r

Volume of a spherical shell = π r1 – r2 , where r1 and r2 are respectively its

external and internal radii. 22
