Geometry Notes Volume and Surface Area Page 1 of 19 VOLUME AND SURFACE AREA Objectives: After completing this section, you should be able to do the following: • Calculate the volume of given geometric figures. • Calculate the surface area of given geometric figures. • Solve word problems involving volume and surface area. Vocabulary: As you read, you should be looking for the following vocabulary words and their definitions: • volume • surface area • sphere • great circle of a sphere • pyramid • cone Formulas: You should be looking for the following formulas as you read: • volume of a rectangle solid • surface area of a rectangular solid • volume of a cylinder • surface area of a cylinder • volume of a solid with a matching base and top • volume of a sphere • surface area of a sphere • volume of a pyramid • volume of a cone We will continue our study of geometry by studying three-dimensional figures. We will look at the two-dimensional aspect of the outside covering of the figure and also look at the three-dimensional space that the figure encompasses. The surface area of a figure is defined as the sum of the areas of the surface area exposed sides of an object. A good way to think about this would be as the Geometry Notes Volume and Surface Area Page 2 of 19 area of the paper that it would take to cover the outside of an object without any overlap. In most of our examples, the exposed sides of our objects will polygons whose areas we learned how to find in the previous section. When we talk
