Formulas
Curved Surface Area of a Cone: A_c = πrl
A_c represents the curved surface area, r is the base radius, and l is the slant height. This formula is used to calculate the outer area of a cone excluding its base.
Total Surface Area of a Cone: A_t = πr(l + r)
A_t represents the total surface area. This formula includes both the curved surface area and the circular base area.
Surface Area of a Sphere: A_s = 4πr²
A_s is the surface area of the sphere and r is the radius. This formula is vital for calculating areas of spherical objects.
Curved Surface Area of a Hemisphere: A_h = 2πr²
A_h is the curved surface area of a hemisphere where r is the radius. Used in various real-world geometrical applications.
Total Surface Area of a Hemisphere: A_h_total = 3πr²
A_h_total includes both the curved surface area and the flat circular base area of a hemisphere.
Volume of a Cone: V = (1/3)πr²h
V is the volume, r is the radius of the base, and h is the height. Important for calculating space inside conical objects.
Volume of a Sphere: V = (4/3)πr³
V represents the volume of a sphere. This formula is crucial in finding the capacity of spherical containers.
Volume of a Hemisphere: V_h = (2/3)πr³
V_h gives the volume of a hemisphere. Useful for determining capacity in semi-spherical shapes.
Slant Height of a Cone: l = √(r² + h²)
l is the slant height, r is the radius, and h is the height. This derived relation helps in calculations involving cones.
Circumference of the Base of a Cone: C = 2πr
C represents the circumference of the circular base. This is essential for conversions between linear and area measurements.
