Quick Summary

The chapter 'Surface Areas and Volumes' teaches students about calculating the surface area and volume of various solid figures and combinations of solids. It introduces concepts like total surface area and curved surface area, and applies these to combinations such as cylinders with hemispheres or cones. The chapter includes real-life applications, helping students understand how these calculations can be used in practical contexts. The exercises and examples further reinforce the understanding of creating and solving problems involving composite solids.

Key Topics

Additional Practice Questions

Calculate the surface area of a cylinder with a height of 10 cm and a base radius of 5 cm.

medium

Answer: The curved surface area (CSA) is 2πrh, and the total surface area (TSA) is 2πr(h + r). Here, CSA = 2π(5)(10) = 100π cm². TSA = 2π(5)(10 + 5) = 150π cm².

A cone has a base diameter of 8 cm and a height of 12 cm. Find its volume.

easy

Answer: The volume of a cone is (1/3)πr²h. With r = 4 cm, h = 12 cm, the volume is (1/3)π(4)²(12) = 64π cm³.

What is the volume of a spherical balloon with a radius of 7 cm?

easy

Answer: The volume of the sphere is (4/3)πr³. Hence, the volume is (4/3)π(7)³ = 1436.75 cm³ approximately.

Find the total surface area of a cube with an edge length of 6 cm.

medium

Answer: The total surface area of a cube is 6a². Thus, the area is 6(6)² = 216 cm².

A cylinder has a total height of 20 cm and a diameter of 10 cm. If it is partially filled with water to a height of 10 cm, what is the volume of the empty part?

medium

Answer: The total volume is πr²h = π(5)²(20) = 500π cm³. The filled volume is π(5)²(10) = 250π cm³. So, the empty volume is 250π cm³.
