Solid Figures

Surface Area and Volume of Solid Figures


Surface Area – is the sum of all the areas of all the shapes that cover the surface of an object.
Its unit of measure is square unit. (ex. Cm² , m², in²)
Volume – is the amount of space occupied by an object measured in three dimensions, expressed in
cubic units. (ex. Cm³, m³, in³)

A. Cube
A cube contains 6 identical faces. Thus, to get the surface area, simply multiply the area of one face
by 6.
Example:
Find the surface area of each cube below

1. 2.

Solution
1. SA = 6s² = 6(12)² = 6 x 144 = 864 sq cm or 864cm²
2. SA = 6s² = 6(20)² = 6 x 400 =2400 cm²

Example:
Find the volume of each cube below

1. 2.

Solution
1. V = s³ = (12)³ = 12x 12 x 12 = 1 728 cm²
2. V = s³ = (20) = 20 x 20 x 20 = 8000 cm³

B. Rectangular Prism
Rectangular prism contains rectangular bases. The area of one base is (l x w) , so the area of two
bases is 2(l x w). notice that opposite sides if the lateral face in front and at the back are the same.
The area of one face is (l x h), thus, its area is 2(l x h). The area of the other two lateral faces, which
are also the same is 2(w x h)
Formula = V = 2(lh + wh + lw)

Example:
Find the surface area of each rectangular prism below

1. 2.
Solution:
1. SA = 2(lh + wh + lw)
= 2 ((6 x 2) + (2 x 3) + (3 x 6))
= 2 (12 + 6 + 18)
= 2(36)
SA = 72 cm²

2. SA = 2(lh + wh + lw)
= 2 ((11 x 5) + (5 x 6) + (11 x 6))
= 2 (55 + 30 + 66)
= 2 (66)
SA = 132cm²
Volume = l x w x h

Example:
Find the Volume of each rectangular prism below

1. 2.
Solution
1. V = lwh 2. V = lwh
= 3cm x 2cm x 6 cm = 11cm x 5 cm x 6 cm
V = 36cm³ V = 330cm³

C. Cylinder
The base of a cylinder is a circle, so the area of one base is πr². Since there are two bases, it will be
2πr².
Formula
SA = 2πr² + 2πrh or SA = 2πr (r + h)
Note: that π ≃ 3.14
V = πr²h

Example:
Find the surface area and volume of each cylinder below

1. 2.
Solution
1. SA = 2πr (r + h) V = πr²h
= 2(3.14)(7m) (7m + 11m) = (3.14)(7m)²(11m)
= 43.96m (18m) = (3.14)(49m²)(11m)
SA = 791.28² V = 1, 692.46m³

2. Since the given is diameter let’s find first the radius.


d = 10 cm , d = 2r so the radius is r = d/2
r = 5cm
SA = 2πr² + 2πrh V = πr²h
= 2 (3.14) (5cm)² + 2(3.14)(5cm)(12cm) = (3.14)(5cm)²(12cm)
= 157cm² + 376.8cm² V= 942cm³
SA = 533.8 cm²

D.Square Pyramid
The surface area of a square pyramid is equal to the sum of the area of its base and the area of its
lateral faces. The area of the base is A = s². Since the lateral face is a triangle, and its base is a
square, four congruent triangles are formed. The area of one face can be acquired with A = ½ bh.
Substituting the variables, the surface area of the lateral faces is acquired using the formula A = ½ sl
x 4 = 2sl
So the formula to solve the surface area of a square pyramid is:
SA = s² + 2sl
Example:
1. SA = s² + 2sl
= (8in)² + 2 (8)(10)
= 64in² + 160in²
SA= 224 in²

2. . SA = s² + 2sl
= (6cm)² + 2 (6)(12)
= 36cm² + 144cm²
SA= 180cm²

Volume of Square pyramid


V = 1/3 s²h
Example:
1. V = 1/3 s²h
= 1/3 x (8in)² (10in)
= 1/3 (64in²)(10in)
= 1/3 (640in³)
= 213.33 in³

2. V = 1/3 s²h
= 1/3 x (6cm)² (12cm)
= 1/3 (36in²)(12cm)
= 1/3 (432cm³)
= 144cm³

E. CONE
The surface area of a cone is almost the same as a pyramid
SA = πr² + πrs or SA = πr(r + S)
Volume
V = 1/3 πr²h

Example:

1. SA = πr² + πrs
= (3.14)(14m)² + (3.14)(14m)
(50m)
= 615.44m² + 2 198m²
= 2 813.44m²

V = 1/3 πr²h
= 1/3 (3.14)(14m)²(48m)
= 1/3 (29, 541. 12 m³)
= 9 847.04 m³

2. SA = πr² + πrs
= (3.14)(2in)² + (3.14)(2in)(10in)
= 12.56in² + 62.8in²
= 75.36in²

V = 1/3 πr²h
= 1/3 (3.14)(2in)²(8in)
= 1/3 (100.48)
= 33.49in³

F. Sphere
The radius is the only element needed to find the surface area of a sphere.
The formula is SA= 4πr²
4 πr ³
For Volume is V =
3

Example
1. SA = 4πr²
= 4(3.14)(12cm)²
= 4(452.16cm²)
SA = 1 808.64cm²

4 πr ³
V=
3
V = 4/3 (3.14)(12cm)³
V = 4/3 (3.14)(1728cm³)
V = 4/3 (5 425.92cm³)
V = 7, 234.56cm³
