SURFACE AREA AND VOLUME

INTRODUCTION
Many objects around us are made by combining two
or more basic solid shapes. These are called
combined solids.
The calculation of surface area and volume of
combined solids is useful in construction,
manufacturing, storage, and daily life.

OBJECTIVES
• To understand combined solid figures
• To calculate surface area of combined solids
• To calculate volume of combined solids
• To apply geometry in real-life situations

WHAT ARE COMBINED SOLIDS?


A combined solid is formed when two or more basic
solids such as a cone, cylinder, sphere, hemisphere,
cube, or cuboid are joined together.

Examples:
• Cone on a cylinder
• Hemisphere on a cylinder
• Sphere cut into two hemispheres

IMPORTANT FORMULAS USED


Cylinder

CSA = 2πrh

• Volume = πr²h

Cone
• CSA = πrl
• Volume = ⅓πr²h

Hemisphere

• CSA = 2πr²
• Volume = ⅔πr³

STEPS TO SOLVE COMBINED SOLIDS


1. Identify each solid part
2. Write dimensions clearly
3. Apply formula for each solid
4. Add volumes
5. Add only the exposed surface areas
SOLVED NUMERICAL – 1

Cone Mounted on a Cylinder


A solid is composed of a cone placed on a cylinder.
Radius = 7 cm
Height of cylinder = 10 cm
Height of cone = 24 cm

Find the volume of the solid.

Solution:
Volume of cylinder
= πr²h
= 22/7 × 7 × 7 × 10
= 1540 cm³

Volume of cone
= ⅓πr²h
= ⅓ × 22/7 × 7 × 7 × 24
= 1232 cm³

Total Volume
= 1540 + 1232
= 2772 cm³
SOLVED NUMERICAL – 2

Hemisphere on a Cylindrical Tank


A hemisphere is placed on a cylindrical tank.
Radius = 3.5 cm
Height of cylinder = 10.5 cm

Find the total surface area.

Solution:
CSA of cylinder
= 2πrh
= 2 × 22/7 × 3.5 × 10.5
= 231 cm²

CSA of hemisphere
= 2πr²
= 2 × 22/7 × 3.5 × 3.5
= 77 cm²

Total Surface Area


= 231 + 77
= 308 cm²
REAL-LIFE APPLICATIONS
• Water tanks
• Ice-cream cones
• Domes of temples
• Gas cylinders
• Storage containers

ACTIVITY
Draw a combined solid (cone + cylinder).
Label all dimensions and calculate:

• Total surface area


• Volume

LEARNING OUTCOMES
• Better understanding of 3D figures
• Improved calculation skills
• Practical use of mathematics
CONCLUSION
Surface area and volume of combined solids play an
important role in practical life. This chapter helps us
calculate capacity, material required, and space
occupied by different object
