Surface Areas and Volumes
Welcome to the chapter on Surface Areas and Volumes for Class 9. In this chapter, you will learn how to find the surface area and volume of different 3D shapes, use formulas, and solve real-life problems. By the end of this chapter, you will be able to calculate how much space a solid object takes up and how much material is needed to cover its surface!
Key Concepts
- Surface Area: The total area that covers the outside of a 3D shape.
- Volume: The amount of space inside a 3D shape.
- 3D Shapes: Solid objects like cubes, cuboids, cylinders, cones, and spheres.
Surface Area Formulas
- Cuboid: Surface Area = 2(lb + bh + hl)
- Cube: Surface Area = 6a²
- Cylinder: Surface Area = 2πr(h + r)
- Cone: Surface Area = πr(r + l), where l is the slant height
- Sphere: Surface Area = 4πr²
Volume Formulas
- Cuboid: Volume = l × b × h
- Cube: Volume = a³
- Cylinder: Volume = πr²h
- Cone: Volume = (1/3)πr²h
- Sphere: Volume = (4/3)πr³
Applications
- Surface area helps in finding the amount of paint or wrapping needed for an object.
- Volume helps in finding the capacity of containers, tanks, and rooms.
- Used in construction, packaging, and daily life calculations.
Practice Questions
- Find the surface area of a cube with side 5 cm.
- Calculate the volume of a cuboid with length 8 cm, breadth 4 cm, and height 3 cm.
- What is the surface area of a cylinder with radius 7 cm and height 10 cm?
- Find the volume of a cone with radius 3 cm and height 9 cm.
- A sphere has a radius of 6 cm. What is its volume?
Challenge Yourself
- Compare the surface area and volume of a cube and a cuboid with the same height.
- Find the surface area and volume of a cylinder whose height equals its diameter.
Did You Know?
- The volume of air in a football is calculated using the formula for the volume of a sphere.
- Surface area and volume are used in designing water tanks, swimming pools, and even spacecraft!
Glossary
- π (Pi): A constant value, approximately 3.14.
- Slant Height: The diagonal height of a cone.
- Capacity: The amount a container can hold.
Answers to Practice Questions
- Surface Area = 6 × 5² = 150 cm²
- Volume = 8 × 4 × 3 = 96 cm³
- Surface Area = 2π × 7 × (10 + 7) = 2 × 3.14 × 7 × 17 ≈ 747.08 cm²
- Volume = (1/3) × π × 3² × 9 = (1/3) × 3.14 × 9 × 9 ≈ 84.78 cm³
- Volume = (4/3) × π × 6³ = (4/3) × 3.14 × 216 ≈ 904.32 cm³
