Surface Areas and Volumes of Basic Solids

  • Surface area tells us how much material is needed to cover an object
  • Volume tells us how much space an object occupies
  • For painting or covering - we need surface area
2

Surface Area of Combination of Solids

  • When solids are combined, some surfaces are hidden and not counted
  • TSA of combination ≠ Sum of individual TSAs
  • Only visible surfaces are included in calculation
3

Volume of Combination of Solids

  • Volume of combination = Sum of volumes of individual parts
  • No surfaces are hidden when calculating volume
  • Each part contributes its full volume to the total
