INTRODUCTION
In previousclasses,you have learnt the concept of the surface area and the volumeof
cubes and cuboids, measurement of surface area and volume of these solids by using basic
units. In this chapter, we shall extend our study to some other solids such as right circular
cylinders,right circular cones, spheres and combination of such solids. We shall also take
up the problems of melting and recasting i.e. conversion of solids from one shape to another
and finding the volume or the surface area of new solids.

In figures (1)and (ii) above, the solids have
uniform cross-sections.

The distance between the centres of circular cross-sections at the ends is called the

Inthisbook,we shall be dealing only with right circular cylinders. Therefore,whenever

J Surface
Tofind the surface area of a right circular cylinder, perform the following activity:
Takea hollowclosed right circular cylinder made up of thick paper/cardboard and cut
it as shownin the figure i.e. first cut its two circular ends (top and base) and then cut
italonga line on its surface parallel to the axis of cylinder and prepare a net as shown

If A is the area of the circularsheet

area of circular sheet x height = A x h.

Thus, volumeof a cylinder = area
and height h, then
It followsthat if a cylinderhas radius r
volume of cylinder = Ttr2 x h = ltr2h.

the diameterof the earth = 4 x 2r = 8r
radius of the earth = — x 8r = 4r.

Surface area of moon = 47tr2 and surface area of earth = 47t x (4r)2 = 64Ttr2,
surface area of moon 4Ttr2 1
•
surface area of earth 647tr2 16
Hence, the required ratio is 1 : 16.
Example3. If a sphere is inscribed in a cube, then find the ratio
of the volume of the cube
to the volume of the sphere.
Solution. Let an edge of a cube be 2a then its
volume = (2a)3= 8a3.
As a sphere is inscribedin the cube, diameter
of sphere = 2a.
Radius of sphere = 1 of 2a = a.
