How the Surface area and Volume are determined

Area of Circle
Class 9 Maths notes for Surface Area and Volume
The circumference of a circle is $2 \pi r$. This is the definition of π (pi). Divide the circle into many triangular segments. The area of the triangles is 1/2 times the sum of their bases, 2πr (the circumference), times their height, r.
$A= \frac {1}{2} \times 2 \pi r \times r= \pi r^2$
Surface Area of cylinder
Class 9 Maths notes for Surface Area and Volume
  This can be imagined as unwrapping the surface into a rectangle.
Surface area of cone
This can be achieved by divide the surface of the cone  into its triangles, or the surface of the cone into many thin triangles. The area of the triangles is 1/2 times the sum of their bases, p, times their height,
$A= \frac {1}{2} \times 2 \pi r \times s=\pi rs$

How to solve Surface Area and Volume Problem

(1) We have told explained the surface area and volume of various common sold shapes.
(2) Try to divide the given solid shape into known shapes if the solid figure is other than known shapes
(3) Find out the given quantities like radius,height
(4) Apply the formula from the above given tables and get the answer
(5) Make sure you use common units across the problem

Solved example

Question 1
A cylinder is 50 cm in diameter and 3.5 m in height
(a) Find the radius
(b) Find the Curved Surface area
(c) Total Surface area
(d) Volume
Solution
Height of the cylindrical pillar =h=3.5 m
Diameter of the cylindrical pillar =d=50 cm
So Radius of the cylindrical pillar =r=50/2=25 cm =0.25 m
So Curved surface of the cylindrical pillar =$2 \pi \times r \times h=5.5$ m2
Total Surface area= $2 \pi r h + 2 \pi r^2 =5.89$ m2
Volume =$\pi r^2 h=.17$ m3

Question 2
A cubical box has each edge 10 cm and another cuboidal box is 12.5 cm long, 10 cm wide and 8 cm high.
(i) Which box has the greater lateral surface area and by how much?
(ii) Which box has the smaller total surface area and by how much?
Solution:
(i)
Dimension of Cube
Edge of cube (a) = 10 cm
Dimension of Cuboidal
Length (l) of box = 12.5 cm
Breadth (b) of box = 10 cm
Height (h) of box = 8 cm
Lateral surface area of cubical box  is given by  4(a)2
= 4(10 cm)2
= 400 cm2
Lateral surface area of cuboidal box  is given by  2[lh + bh]
= [2(12.5 × 8 + 10 × 8)] cm2
= (2 × 180) cm2
= 360 cm2
It is apparent from the data, 400 > 360
The difference =Lateral surface area of cubical box − Lateral surface area of cuboidal box = 400 cm2 − 360 cm2 = 40 cm2
So Lateral surface area of cubical box is greater than Lateral surface area of cuboidal box by 40 cm2
 (ii) Total surface area of cubical box = 6(a)2 = 6(10 cm)2 = 600 cm2
Total surface area of cuboidal box
= 2[lh + bh + lb]
= [2(12.5 × 8 + 10 × 8 + 12.5 × 10] cm2
= 610 cm2
It is apparent from the data, 610 > 600
Difference=Total surface area of cuboidal box − Total surface area of cubical box = 610 cm2 − 600 cm2 = 10 cm2
So Lateral surface area of cuboidal box is greater than Lateral surface area of cubical box by 10 cm2
