Surface Areas and Volumes Class 10 ||Maths|| Chapter 12 NCERT Notes
Surface Areas and Volumes of Different Solids
1. Cuboid
A cuboid is a three-dimensional figure with six rectangular faces. It has three dimensions: length (l), breadth (b), and height (h).
Total Surface Area (TSA):
Lateral Surface Area (LSA) (excluding top and bottom surfaces):
Volume:
2. Cube
A cube is a special case of a cuboid where all sides are equal, i.e., length = breadth = height = a.
Total Surface Area (TSA):
Lateral Surface Area (LSA):
Volume:
3. Cylinder
A cylinder has two parallel circular bases and a curved surface. The radius of the base is r and the height is h.
Curved Surface Area (CSA):
Total Surface Area (TSA) (including top and bottom):
Volume:
4. Cone
A cone has a circular base and a single vertex. The radius of the base is r, and the slant height is l (with height h).
Curved Surface Area (CSA):
Total Surface Area (TSA) (including base):
Volume:
Relation between slant height, height, and radius (Pythagoras theorem):
5. Sphere
A sphere is a perfectly round three-dimensional object where every point on the surface is equidistant from the center. The radius is r.
Surface Area:
Volume:
6. Hemisphere
A hemisphere is half of a sphere, having both a curved surface and a circular base.
Curved Surface Area (CSA):
Total Surface Area (TSA) (including the base):
Volume:
7. Frustum of a Cone
A frustum is formed when a cone is cut parallel to its base and the top portion is removed. The base radii are r₁ and r₂, and the slant height is l.
Curved Surface Area (CSA):
Total Surface Area (TSA):
Volume:
Detailed Formula Breakdown and Key Concepts
Curved Surface Area (CSA) vs. Total Surface Area (TSA):
- CSA is the area of only the curved part of the solid, excluding the bases.
- TSA includes both the curved area and the area of the bases (for shapes like cylinders, cones, and hemispheres).
Volume:
Volume measures the capacity of a solid or how much space it occupies.
The formulas for volume vary depending on the shape, and each solid's formula involves different geometric dimensions (radius, height, slant height, etc.).
Frustum:
The frustum of a cone is a truncated cone, and its volume and surface area are derived from both the base and top radii. This concept is particularly useful in real-life applications like calculating the volume of objects like buckets, lampshades, etc.
Applications and Problem Solving
The chapter often involves word problems that apply these formulas in real-life contexts. Here’s a step-by-step approach to solving these problems:
Understand the Shape:
Identify the shape involved (cuboid, cylinder, sphere, etc.) and its dimensions from the problem statement.Select the Appropriate Formula:
Based on whether you're asked for surface area or volume, use the correct formula from the formulas provided above.Substitute the Given Values:
Input the given dimensions (e.g., radius, height, length) into the formula.Solve and Simplify:
Carry out the necessary calculations, paying attention to units (e.g., square units for area, cubic units for volume).
Key Examples from NCERT

Practical Applications of Surface Areas and Volumes:
Architecture and Construction:
Surface area and volume calculations help in determining the amount of material required for construction (e.g., paint for walls, concrete for pillars).Packaging Industry:
Volumes are used to design containers, bottles, and boxes to ensure optimal space usage.Real-life Objects:
Many household items, from water tanks to vases, rely on the principles of these formulas for their design.
