Topics in Surface areas and Volumes
Surface Area of Right Circular Cone
- A right circular cone is formed by rotating a right-angled triangle about one of its perpendicular sides
- Key elements: vertex (A), height (h), radius (r), slant height (l)
- Relationship between dimensions: l² = r² + h² (Pythagoras theorem)
Surface Area of Sphere and Hemisphere
- Sphere is formed by rotating a circle about its diameter
- All points on sphere are equidistant from center (radius)
- Hemisphere is half of a sphere with one curved face and one flat circular base
Volume of Right Circular Cone
- Volume of cone is one-third of volume of cylinder with same base and height
- Experimental verification: 3 cone-fulls fill 1 cylinder completely
- Height must be perpendicular distance from vertex to base
Volume of Sphere and Hemisphere
- Volume formulas derived from water displacement experiments
- Sphere volume is (4/3) times the cube of radius
- Hemisphere volume is exactly half of sphere volume
