Card 1Cone Basics

What is the relationship between slant height (l), perpendicular height (h), and radius (r) of a cone?

Answer

By Pythagoras theorem in the right triangle formed: l² = h² + r² This means: (slant height)² = (perpendicular height)² + (base radius)²

Card 2Cone Surface Area

What is the formula for the curved surface area of a cone?

Answer

Curved surface area of a cone = πrl Where: r = radius of the base l = slant height of the cone This formula comes from the area of the sector when the cone is unfolded.

Card 3Cone Surface Area

What is the formula for the total surface area of a cone?

Answer

Total surface area of a cone = πr(l + r) This equals: Curved surface area + Base area = πrl + πr² = πr(l + r) Where r is radius and l is slant height.

Card 4Cone Volume

What is the formula for the volume of a cone?

Answer

Volume of a cone = (1/3) × πr²h Where: r = radius of the base h = perpendicular height This is one-third the volume of a cylinder with the same base and height.

Card 5Cone Surface Area

How is the curved surface area of a cone derived from its net?

Answer

When a cone is unfolded, its curved surface forms a sector of a circle. • The radius of the sector = slant height (l) of the cone • The arc length of the sector = circumference of the base (2πr) • Th

Card 6Cone Volume

What is the relationship between the volume of a cone and cylinder with equal base and height?

Answer

Volume of cone = (1/3) × Volume of cylinder Or: 3 × Volume of cone = Volume of cylinder This means you need 3 cones full of material to fill 1 cylinder of the same base radius and height.

Card 7Sphere Surface Area

What is the formula for the surface area of a sphere?

Answer

Surface area of a sphere = 4πr² Where r is the radius of the sphere. This can be remembered as 4 times the area of a circle with the same radius.

Card 8Sphere Volume

What is the formula for the volume of a sphere?

Answer

Volume of a sphere = (4/3)πr³ Where r is the radius of the sphere. This is four-thirds times π times the cube of the radius.
