SOLID GEOMETRY

CUBOID: Let length=l, breadth=b and height=h units. Then,

Volume=(l*b*h) cubic units
Surface area=2(lb+bh+hl) squints
Length of longest diagonal =√ (l² + b² +h²).

CUBE: let each edge of a cube be of length ‘a’. Then,

Volume =a*a*a cubic units
Surface area =6(a*a) squints
Length of longest diagonal =√3 a.

CYLINDER: let radius of base= r &height =h Then,

Volume=3.14(r*r) h cubic units
Curved Surface area= 6(a*a)

CONE: Let radius of base=r & height = h. Then,

Slant height, l = sq root [(h*h)+(r*r)]
Volume = 1/3 [3.14*(r*r)*h]
Curved Surface area = 2*3.14*r*l sq. units

SRHERE: Let the radius of the sphere be ‘r’. Then,

Volume = 4/3 * 3.14 (r*r*r) cubic units
Surface area = 4*3.14*(r*r) sq. units
