Volume and Surface Area of Solid Figures


Surface area related to the amount of space covering the outside of a three-dimensional shape.
Volume and surface area are related to bodies which is solids or hollow.
these bodies occupy space and have generally three dimensions length,breadth and height.

Surface Area

Surface area is the region covered by the closed plane figure.surface area of a plane figure is the area of all of its surfaces together.It is measured in square unit for example square meter,square centimeter etc.

Lateral or curved surface area

Area of solid without its top and bottom is called lateral or curved surface area.

Total surface area

Total surface area is the area of whole surface of any object including the area of base and area of top.

Volume

Volume is the space occupied by an object is called the volume of that particular object.
It is measured in cube unit like cubic centimeter, cubic meter etc.

Cube

A three dimensional figure having 6 square faces, 8 vertices and 12 edges with equal length, breadth and height is called cube.

1.Lateral surface area = Perimeter of base × Height
= 4a × a
L.S.A = 4a2

2.Total surface area = Lateral surface area + area of top and area of bottom
= 4a2 + 2a2
T.S.A = 6a2

3.Diagonal = √3a

4.Perimeter = 12a

5. Volume = Area of base × Height
= a2 × a
Volume = a3
Where, a = side of cube

Ex- The diagonal of a cube is 9√3 cm. Find its lateral surface area and volume.
Solution:- Let the side of cube = a
given, Diagonal = 9√3 cm.
lateral surface area and volume = ?
According to question,
Diagonal = 9√3 cm.
or, √3a = 9√3 or, a = 9√3 /√3 = 9
∴ Lateral surface area = 4a2
= 4 ( 9 )2
= 4 × 9 × 9
= 324 sq cm
∴ Volume = a3
= ( 9 )3
= 9 × 9 × 9
= 729 cm 3

Cuboid

A three dimensional figure having 6 rectangular faces, 8 vertices and 12 edges with different length breadth and height.
Let Length = l
breadth = b
height = h

1.Lateral surface area = Perimeter of base × height
= 2 ( l + b ) × h
LSA = 2 ( l + b ) h
2. Total surface area = Lateral surface area + area of top and bottom
= 2 ( l + b ) h + 2lb
= 2lh + 2bh + 2lb
= 2 ( lh + bh + lb )
TSA = 2 ( lb + bh + lh )
3. Diagonal = √ ( l 2 + b2 + h2 )
4. Perimeter = 4 ( l + b + h )
5. Volume = Area of base × Height
= ( l × b ) × h
= l × b × h
Volume = lbh

Ex- Find the volume and surface area of a cuboid 17 m long, 13 m broad and 5 m height.
Solution:- given Length = 17 m
breadth = 13 m
height = 6 m
Volume = lbh
= 17 × 13 × 6
= 1326 m 3
Surface area = 2 ( lb + bh + lh )
= 2 ( 17 × 13 + 13 × 6 + 6 × 17 )
= 2 ( 121 + 78 + 102 )
= 2 × 301
= 602 sq m

Ex- A wooden box measures 12 cm × 8 cm × 7 cm. Thickness of wood is 1.5 cm. Find the volume of the wood required to make the box.
Solution:- given, External length = 12 cm
breadth = 8 cm
height = 7 cm
External volume = Length × Breadth × Height
= 12 × 8 × 7
= 672 cm 3
Internal length = 12 - ( 2 × 1.5 ) = 9 cm
breadth = 8 - ( 2 × 1.5 ) = 5 cm
height = 7 - ( 2 × 1.5 ) = 4 cm Internal volume =Length × Breadth × Height
= 9 × 5 × 4
= 180 cm 3
∴ Volume of wood = External volume - Internal volume = 672 - 180
= 492 cm 3

Ex- Find the length of the largest pole that can be placed in a room 12 m long, 8 m broad and 10 m height.
Solution:- given, Length = 12 m
breadth = 8 m
height = 10 m
Length of the longest pole = Length of the diagonal
= √ ( l 2 + b2 + h2 )
= √ ( 122 + 82 + 102 )
= √( 144 + 64 + 100 ) = √308
= 4√77 m
