Archimedes
(287BC-212BC)
Archimedes of syracuse, Sicily, is
remembered as the greatest Greek
mathematician of the ancient era.
He contributed significantly in
geometry regarding the areas of
plane figures and the areas and
volumes of solid objects.
He proved that the volume of a
sphere is equal to two-thirds the
volume of a circumscribed cylinder.
378 UNIT-16
The study of measurement of objects is very essential because of its applications in
every day life, industry and engineering. We have already learnt to find the surface area
and volume of solid objects such as cube, cuboid, prism and pyramid.
Now let us consider some examples where measurement of objects are
applied.
• A village panchayat has built an over head water storage tank which
is cylindrical in shape. How to determine the size of the tank? What
is the cost incurred in painting the tank?
• How do you calculate the amount of diesel
that can be stored in a cylindrical shaped
fuel tank of a truck?
• How many basin laddoos can be made from given weight of mixture
of basin laddoo?
The solution for all the above mentioned problems depends on finding the surface
area and volume of solid objects like cylinder, cone and sphere.
How to find the surface area and volume of these objects? Which are the formulae
used?
In this unit, let us learn about the surface area and volume of cylinder, cone and
sphere.
Cylinder
We have studied that when a number of rectangular sheets of paper are stacked up,
we get a cuboid or rectangular based prism.
What do we get when a number of congruent
circular sheets of paper are stacked up?
Observe the figures given.
The solid object obtained is called Cylinder.
Cylinders are sort of prisms with circular bases.
Activity: Take a thick paper and cut a rectangle ABCD. Paste a long thick stick along one
side, say AB. Hold the stick with both your palms and rotate it fast (you can also paste a
long thick string, hold the string with hands, on either side and rotate it fast).
Do this activity in groups. Discuss and share
the ideas.
What shape can you recognise? From the above
activity, we can conclude that
If a rectangle revolves about one of its sides
and completes a full rotation, the solid formed
is called a right circular cylinder.

Curved orlateral surface
In our daily life, we have
seen many objects which are
cylindrical in shape. Some of them
are given below.
The cylinders can be either
solid or hollow. Observe that the
cylinder has two circular bases,
bottom base and top base which are congruent to each other.
Activity: Place a cylinder on the table and hold a piece of cardboard
parallel to the top of the table and touching the top of the cylinder.
If we find the perpendicular distance between the top of the table
(i.e bottom of the cylinder) to the cardboard (i.e top of the cylinder), it is
the height of the cylinder.
Now let us consider a cylinder having the following properties.
• It has two congruent and parallel circular bases.
• It has a curved surface joining the edges of the two bases.
• The line segment joining the centres of the two bases is perpendicular to the base.
It is the height (h) of the cylinder and also called axis of the cylinder.
Such a cylinder is called right circular cylinder.
It is called so because, the cylinder has a circular base and its axis is at
right angle to the base.
In this unit, we will be dealing with only right circular cylinders. So unless stated
otherwise, the word cylinder would mean a right circular cylinder.
Surface area of a cylinder
We know that a cylinder can be either a hollow cylinder or a solid cylinder.
A hollow cylinder is formed by the curved surface only. Pipe, straw, tubes, flute, are
examples for hollow cylinders.
A solid cylinder is the object bounded by two circular plane surfaces and also the
curved surface. A cylindrical pillar, the wheels of road roller, a garden roller, pencil, filled
cylindrical tanks and filled cans are examples of solid cylinder.
The surface area of a cylinder refers to the area of the external surface of the
cylinder.
A hollow cylinder has only the curved surface, which is also called the lateral surface.
The area of this surface is the curved surface area (CSA) or the
lateral surface area (LSA) of the hollow cylinder.
A solid cylinder has two circular surfaces and also the curved
surface. Hence, the area of the curved surface is the curved or
lateral surface area of the solid cylinder.
The total surface area (TSA) of the solid cylinder refers to
the sum of areas of the two circular regions and the curved surface
area.

Now, let us derive the formulae used to find the curved surface area and total surface
area of cylinders.
i. Curved surface area of a cylinder: Take a rectangular sheet of paper whose length
is just enough to go round the given cylinder and whose breadth is equal to the
height of the cylinder. This activity can also be done by taking a cylinder made of
cardboard. Cut open the lateral surface along a line and unfold it, to get a rectangle.

Observe that,
Area of the rectangular sheet = Curved surface area of the cylinder
Length of the rectangle = Circumference of the base of the cylinder l = 2r
Breadth of the rectangle = Height of the cylinder b = h
We know that, Area of rectangle = l × b = 2r × h = 2rh
Curved surface area of the cylinder = 2rh sq. units
ii. Total surface area of a solid cylinder:
Total surface area of a cylinder = 2r (h + r) sq. units.
Volume of a cylinder
You have already learnt that volume of a prism is the product of area of its
base and height. Since, cylinder is also a type of prism with circular base, its
volume should be calculated in the same manner.
Volume of a solid cylinder = Area of base × height = r2 × h = r2h
Volume of a cylinder = r2h cubic units

Cone
Observe the following objects.
They are conical in shape. They
can be hollow or solid.
Observe that cones have a circular base and a curved surface which tapers from
the base to an end point.
Compare cones with pyramids. Cones are sort of pyramids with
circular bases.
A cone is a solid object that tapers smoothly from a flat circular
base to a point called vertex.
A right circular cone has the circular base and its axis passes through the centre of
the base and is perpendicular to the base.
Activity: Take a thick paper and cut a right angled triangle ABC, with B = 900. Paste a
long thick string along one of the perpendicular sides, say AB. Hold the string with the
hands on either side of the triangle and
rotate the triangle about the string.
Can you recognise the shape formed?
The shape formed is a right circular
cone. Therefore we can conclude that,
If a right angled triangle is revolved about one of the side containing the right angle,
the solid formed is called a right circular cone.

Observe the figure of cone.
• The length AB or the distance from the centre of the circular base to
the vertex is called the height (h) of the cone. It is called the axis of
the cone.
• The length BC is the radius of the base (BC = r).
• The length AC or the distance from the vertex to any point on the
circular base is called the slant height (l) of the cone. (AC = AD = l)
Is there any relation between the height (h) and slant height (l) of a cone?
Consider the right angled triangle ABC in the figure
We have, AC2= AB2 + BC2 (Pythagoras theorem) l2 = h2 + r2
where l is the slant height, h is the height, r is the radius of the base of the cone.
l = 2 2h r or h = 2 2l r or r = 2 2l h
Now, let us consider a cone having the following properties.
• It has a circular plane as its base.
• The axis of the cone and the slant height intersect at a point called vertex.
• It has a curved surface which connects the edge of circular base and the vertex.
• The line joining the vertex and the centre of the circular base is perpendicular to
the base.
Such a cone is called right circular cone. As in case of cylinder, since we will be
studying about only right circular cones in this unit, by "cone" we shall mean "right
circular cone".
Surface area of a cone
Observe the given below figures:
The surface of a cone consists of a
curved surface made by bending a sector
such that its arc touches with the edge of the circular base.
The area of the sector which forms the cone is called the
curved surface area or the lateral surface area of the cone.
If the base of the cone is closed with a circular piece of
cardboard, then we consider the Total surface area of a cone (TSA) by adding the curved
surface area (CSA) with the area of the circular base.
i. Curved surface area of cone
If a cone made up of cardboard is cut and spread out, we get a sector as shown below.
h l l
The area of the sector is the curved surface area of the cone.
Sector: is a part of
circular region bounded
by two radii and an arc.

How to find the area of the sector?
Let 'r' be the radius of the cone, 'l ' be the slant height of the cone and
'' be the central angle of the sector.
Here, radius 'r' of the sector is same as the slant height 'l' of the cone. r = l

Take a hollow cylinder with one base closed and a hollow cone of same radius and
same height. It is useful, if they are made of transparent material. Let their thickness be
as less as possible and almost negligible.
Observe the given figure to easily check their
radius and height.
Cone is filled with sand or water and poured into
the cylinder. The cylinder is completely filled by
pouring sand or water three times by the cone.
Volume of a cylinder = r2h, where 'r' is the radius of its circular base and 'h' is the
height.
From the above experiment, we can conclude that,
Volume of cone = 1

Frustum of a cone
Observe the shape of the objects that we
use in our daily life.
These are neither cylinders nor cones.
What are these shapes called? How are they obtained?
Consider the following activity to answer these questions.
Activity: Take some clay or plasticine and form a right circular cone. Cut it with a knife
parallel to its base. You will get two solids as shown in the figure given below.
If we remove the smaller cone obtained
at the top, we are left with a solid object at the
bottom. This part of the cone containing its
base is called the frustum of the cone.
Tumbler Bucket Cap
Know this!
'Frustum' is a Latin word meaning "piece
cut off" and its plural form is 'Frusta'
Mensuration 393
The frustum of a cone has two circular bases, one at the bottom and the other at the
top of it with different radii.
From the above activity, we can conclude that,
If a plane cuts a right circular cone parallel to its base and the upper smaller
cone is removed, then the remaining part of the cone containing the base is called
"Frustum of the cone".
Now, can you name the shape of tumbler,
bucket and cap?
Why do you call it so? Discuss in groups.
Is there any relationship between the dimensions
of the original cone and the smaller one cut off ? Observe the figures given below.

Let the base radius, height and the slant height of the original cone be denoted by

We can conclude that,
If from the top of a cone, a smaller cone is cut off by slicing parallel to the base,
then the base radius, height and the slant height of the two cones (smaller cone
obtained and the original cone) are proportional.
How is the slant height of the frustum related to its height and radii?
Let 'l ' be the slant height of the frustum, 'h' be the height, 'R' be the radius of the
bottom base, and r be the radius of the top base.
The relatonship is given by l2 = h2 + (R – r)2 or l = 2 2

Surface area and volume of frustum of a cone.
We know that frustum of a cone is a part of the cone ABC
obtained by cutting off the smaller cone A'B'C parallel to the base.

Hence,
Lateral surface area =

of frustum area of cone ABC area of cone A'B'C
Total surface area of frustum = LSA of frustum + Area of the two circular bases
Volume of frustum = Volume of original Cone ABC – Volume of smaller Cone A'B'C
Surface area and volume of a frustum of a cone can be found by using the above
method only when the radius of the base and slant height of both the original (bigger)
cone and the smaller cone are given.
Then, how to find the surface area and volume of a frustum when only
the heights and radii of the two bases of the frustum are given?
Let h be the height, l be the slant height and r1, and r
2 be the radii of
the two bases (r1> r
2) of the frustum of a cone.
Then, we can directly find the surface area and volume of the frustum by using the
formulae given below:
* Lateral surface area of the frustum of the cone
= (r1+r

1 2h +(r r )

Sphere
Let us conduct an activity as done in the previous section. Take a
circular disc and paste a string along one of its diameter. Rotate it
and observe the new solid formed.
What does it look like? It is called a sphere.
If a circular disc is roated about one of its diameters, the
solid thus generated is called sphere.
The centre of the circle, when it forms a sphere on rotation becomes the centre of
the sphere. This centre point will be equidistant from all points in the space which have
formed the sphere.

398 UNIT-16
Therefore, a sphere is a three dimesnional figure or solid figure, which is made up
of all points in the space, which lie at a constant distance called the radius and from a
fixed point called the centre of the sphere.
The word solid sphere is used for the solid whose surface is a sphere.
It has both surface area and volume.
There are many things around us which are
sphere - shaped. Observe some examples.
How many surfaces do you see in the sphere - shaped
objects?
There is only one which is curved.
Now, let us assume that a solid sphere like a ball be sliced exactly
through the middle with a plane that passes through its centre.
The sphere gets divided into two equal parts. Each part of the sphere
is called a hemisphere.
Surface area of sphere and hemisphere
The formula used to find the surface area of a sphere can be obtained through an
interesting activity. You are familiar with the game played using a top, by winding a thick
thread around it. The following activity where a thread is wound around the spherical
object will help you to generate the formula for finding the surface area of a sphere. Study
the activity and try to conduct it in groups.
• Take a plastic ball.
• Fix a pin at the top of the ball.
• Wind a uniform thread over the ball so as to cover
the whole curved surface area. Use pins to fix the
thread in place.
• Mark the starting and finishing points on the thread.
• Slowly unwind the thread and measure the length of the thread used to wind around
the surface area of the sphere.
• Cut the thread into four equal parts.
• Measure the diameter of the ball and find its radius.
• Take a sheet of paper and draw four circles with radius equal to the radius of the
ball.
• Fill each circle with one piece of the thread as shown in the figure.
What do you observe and conclude from this activity?
The thread which had covered the surface area of the sphere (ball) has completely
filled the four regions of the circle, all of the same radius as of the sphere.
This suggests that surface area of the sphere is four times the surface area of
circles, where both the sphere and the circles have same radius (r).

Curved surface area of the sphere = 4 × Area of the circle = 4 × r2 = 4r2
The curved surface area of the sphere = 4r2 sq. units

It is interesting to note that the surface area of a sphere is equal to the curved
surface area of a cylinder just containing it.
Observe the figure
A sphere with radius (r) is placed inside a cylinder whose radius is
also 'r' and height is '2r'.
Surface area of sphere = 4r2
Curved surface area of cylinder = 2rh = 2r × 2r = 4r2
Surface area of the sphere = Curved surface area of the cylinder,
where, radius of the sphere and the cylinder are equal and height of the cylinder is
equal to the diameter of the sphere.
Now, let us find the surface area of hemisphere.
We know that hemisphere is exactly half of a sphere. Let us use
this idea and find surface area of hemisphere.
(i) Curved surface area of solid hemisphere
C.S.A of solid hemisphere = CSA of solid sphere

Imagine a sphere which is formed by using several tiny cones

Combination of solids
You are familiar with solid objects like cube, cuboid, prism, pyramid, cylinder, cone and
sphere. You know how to find their surface area and volume. It is common to identify
objects from our surroundings with these solid shapes.
404 UNIT-16
Now, observe the following objects and their shapes. Discuss in groups and identify
the shape of each one of them.
Toy Oil tankerRocket model Green-house shed
In each case, the object is made of two or more solid objects. Hence, each one of
them is a combination of solids.
Toy Oil tank
Cone + Hemisphere
Rocket Green-house
Cone + Cylinder
CuboidHalf of cylinder +
How to find the surface area and volume of such solid objects? Let us learn to find
the surface area and volume of combination of solids.
Surface area of combination of solids
Consider the example of the toy. We observe that the total surface area
of the toy is sum of the curved surface area of the hemisphere and curved
surface area of the cone.
TSA of the toy = CSA of the hemisphere + CSA of the cone
CSA of the toy = CSA of the hemisphere + CSA of the cone
Similarly, for the other examples we can find the total surface area and curved
surface area as follows.
TSA of oil tank = CSA of hemisphere + CSA of cylinder + CSA of hemisphere
CSA of oil tank = CSA of hemisphere + CSA of cylinder + CSA of hemisphere
TSA of rocket model = CSA of cylinder + Area of its base + CSA of cone
CSA of rocket model = CSA of cylinder + CSA of cone
Hemisphere + Cylinder + Hemisphere
Toy
Mensuration 405
TSA of shed = LSA of cuboid + Area of its base + Half of TSA of cylinder
LSA of shed = LSA of cuboid + Half of TSA of cylinder
From the above examples, we can conclude that, total surface
area of the combination of solids may or may not be the sum of
curved surface areas of the solids which are combined together.
We can note the following observations.
• The total surface area of a combiantion of solids is not simply the sum of total
surface area of solids combined together, because some part of the total surface
area disappears in the process of joining them.
• It is also not simply the sum of curved surface area of solids joined together because
some part other than the curved surface area has to be added to its total surface
area.
• The curved surface area of a combination of solids may be equal to the sum of
curved surface areas of the solids combined together.
• The curved surface area of a combination of solids may not be equal to the sum of
the curved surface areas of solids combined togehter, because some part other than
the curved surface area has to be added.
Now let us solve some problems based on the surface area of combination of solids.

In our daily life we also come across situations where the figures formed have irregular
shapes. Observe the figures given below.
In all such cases, where the figures are not having triangle or quadrilateral shapes
and figures having irregular shapes, the simplest technique is to divide the given figure
into triangles and quadrilaterals and then find their areas.
Such figures can be divided into several familiar shapes as follows. study them.
Observe that each figure is divided into triangles and trapeziums.
How do you think that the total area of each figure is calculated by using the areas of
different triangles and trapeziums formed? Discuss in the class in groups.
Do the following activity to understand this.

Now consider the example of the piece of land. Suppose a farmer owns it and a land
surveyor wants to find its area. How is it done?
The procedure followed by surveyors while measuing and calculating areas of irregular
shaped lands are as follows.
Irregular shaped field is divided into known geometrical shaped fragments.
Measurements of the sides are made using Guntor’s chain.
Measurements are recorded in the surveyor’s field book .
The sketch or figure repesenting the irregular shaped field is drawn to scale.
Area of each fragment is calculated.
Total area of the field is found by finding the sum of the areas of the fragments.
How are the measurements taken and recorded in the field book?
How is scale drawing done?
Do the following activity to understand this .
Activity 2
Take a graph sheet.
Draw an irregular shape as shown in the figure.
Mark the extreme end points, wherever
possible.
First mark the top and bottom points to obtain
the base line by joining them. AB is the base
line.
Now, mark the other end points on either side
of the base line, let the points be C,D, E and F.
Draw perpendiculars from C,D,E and F to the
base line AB.
Let the perpendicular lines be CG, DJ, EK,
and FB.
Join A and C, C and F, D and E, B and E and D and A.
Now you have obtained a regular shape ACFBED.
Read the measurements of lines formed and make entries in a table as given below.
Use the values in the table and find the area as discussed in activity 1.
The land surveyor’s method of recording the measurements of a land will be the same as
discussed above. But the measurements are usually in meters. Hence, while drawing
the rough sketch, a convenient scale is taken and all the original measurements are
converted according to the scale.
