FAQ’s on Volume and Surface Area

How to calculate the volume of a cylinder?

You can calculate the volume of the cylinder by using the formula πr²h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the cylinder. 

How to calculate the volume of a sphere? 

The formula for the volume of a sphere is 4πr³/3, where r is the radius of the sphere, similarly, the volume of the hemisphere can be calculated by dividing the volume of the sphere by 2, i.e. 2πr³/3.

What is the total surface area of the right circular cone?

The total surface area of the Right Circular Cone = Curved Surface Area + Area of the Base = πrl + πr² = πr (r+l).

What is the volume of the tank?

The tank could be of cube, cuboid, or cylindrical shape. One should not assume the shape of the tank and calculate the volume. The shape of the tank will be clearly mentioned in the exam either directly or by mentioning the dimensions. 

How to calculate the volume of the cylinder from the surface area of the base and height?

Volume of the Cylinder= Surface Area of the Base * Height of the Cylinder
