Overview
This chapter builds upon our previous knowledge of surface areas and volumes of basic 3D shapes like cuboids, cubes, and cylinders. We now explore the fascinating world of cones and spheres, learning how to calculate their surface areas and volumes using mathematical formulas and practical activitie
Key Concepts
A cone has a circular base
A cone has a circular base with center O, vertex A, perpendicular height h, base radius r, and slant height l. The fundamental relationship is l² = h²
A cone has two surfaces
A cone has two surfaces: circular base (area = πr²) and curved surface. The curved surface area = πrl, where l is slant height. Total surface area = π
Volume of cone = (1/3) ×
Volume of cone = (1/3) × πr²h. This is exactly one-third the volume of a cylinder with the same base radius and height. This relationship can be demon
Surface area of sphere = 4πr²
Surface area of sphere = 4πr². For a hemisphere: curved surface area = 2πr², total surface area = 3πr² (includes the flat circular base). This can be
Volume of sphere = (4/3)πr³
Volume of sphere = (4/3)πr³. Volume of hemisphere = (2/3)πr³. The relationship shows that a hemisphere holds exactly twice the volume of a cone with t
Learning Objectives
- Calculate the curved surface area and total surface area of a cone using appropriate formulas
- Determine the volume of a cone and understand its relationship with cylinder volume
- Find the surface area of a sphere and hemisphere using the formula 4πr²
- Calculate the volume of a sphere and hemisphere using derived formulas
- Apply the relationship between slant height, perpendicular height, and base radius in cones
