SURFACE AREA AND VOLUME OF SPHERE

Performance Objectives

Student should be able to:

  1. Calculate the volume and surface are of a sphere
  2. Calculate the volume and surface area of the hemisphere

Content

Surface Area and Volume of Solids

Before we talk about the sphere and the hemisphere it is important we refresh our memory on the formulae for the surface area and volume of some common solid

Formulae

1.

Cube

Volume=l×l×lSURFACE AREA AND VOLUME OF SPHERE

 

 

Surface area =6×l×lSURFACE AREA AND VOLUME OF SPHERE

 

 

 

2.

Cuboid

Volume=lbhSURFACE AREA AND VOLUME OF SPHERE

 

 

Surface area =2(lb+lh+bh)SURFACE AREA AND VOLUME OF SPHERE

 

 

Curved surface area = πrlSURFACE AREA AND VOLUME OF SPHERE

 

 

Total surface area = πrl+πr2SURFACE AREA AND VOLUME OF SPHERE
