Cubes
Volume of a cube:
= a x a x a = a3
Surface area of a cube:
= 6a2
where a is the length of each side.
Cuboid
Volume of a cuboid:
= length x width x height = lwh
Surface area of a cuboid:
= 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
Sphere
Volume of a sphere:
= 4/3 r3
Surface area of a sphere:
= 4r2
where r is the radius of the sphere.
Cylinder
Volume of a cylinder
= r2h
Surface area of an open cylinder:
= 2rh
Surface area of a closed cylinder:
= 2rh + 2r2 = 2r(r+h)
where r is the radius of the cylinder and h is the
height.
Cone
Volume of a cone
= 1/3 r2h
where r is the radius of the widest part of the cone,
and h is the height of the cone.
Surface area of a cone (including base):
= r2 + rs
Surface area of a cone (excluding base):
= rs
Square Pyramid
(square-based pyramid)
= 1/3 b2h
Surface area of a square pyramid (including base):
= b2 + 2bs
Surface area of a square pyramid (excluding base):
= 2bs
where b is the length of one side of the base, h is the
vertical height of the pyramid and s is the slant height
of one of the triangles.
Pyramid (general)
Volume of a pyramid
= 13 (base area x height) = 13Ah
where A is the area of the base, and h is the height.
This formula works for any pyramid with a rectangular
or triangular base and triangular sides.
