Surface Area The measure of the area of all

outward facing sides.

Volume The measure of how many cubes

will �t into a shape.

Units3

Volume = ba × h × 1/3Example:

ba = base area = 16cm2

h = height = 9cmVolume = 16 × 9 × 1/3 = 48cm3

Volume = 4/3 × π × r3

Example: r = radius = 4.5cm

Volume = 4/3 × 3.14 × 4.53 = 381.5cm3 (Approx)

Volume = π × r2 × h Example:

r = radius = 5cmh = height = 10cm

Volume = 3.14 × 25 × 10 = 785cm3 (Approx)

Example: There is no simple generic formula

for working out the volume of a regular polyhedron.

Surface area = 2 × 20 + 60 = 100cm2

Surface Area = ba + laExample:

ba = base area = 16cm2

la = lateral area (all sides) = 60cm2

Surface area = 16 + 60 = 76cm2

Surface Area = fa × s Example:

fa = area of one side = 200cm2

s = number of sides = 12Surface area = 200 × 12 = 2400cm2

Definitions

Apothem: The line connecting the centre of a regular polygon with one of its sides. The line is perpendicular (at a right angle) to the side.

Axis: A line of reference about which an object, point or line is drawn, rotated or measured. In a symmetrical shape, an axis is usually a line of symmetry.

Radius: The distance from the geometric centre of a curved shape to its circumference (edge).

For more information and examples of these calculations see:Calculating Area, Three-Dimensional Shapes and Calculating Volume.
