Chapter 13 – Surface Area and Volumes

Chapter 13 – Surface Area and Volumes of Class 10 Mathematics is a lesson loaded with formulas. It teaches the students how to calculate areas and volumes of different shapes. The chapter comprises 5 exercises 13.1 – 13.5. NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Mathematics Chapter 13 has solved answers to every question in exercise 13.1 to 13.5.

13.1 Introduction

Just like any other introduction from any other chapter, in Chapter 13 of Class 10 Mathematics, you would be required to recall  what you studied in Class 9 about cubes, cylinders, circles, etc. This is why at Extramarks we never recommend memorising anything. We always suggest understanding a particular concept.  The sole reason is that, by memorising things,you are not able to retain them in your mind for a long time. But if you understand a concept, chances are you will remember it forever. That’s the cardinal rule in Mathematics.

13.2 Surface Area of a Combination of Solids

Some items are a combination of two or more solid shapes. At the end of this chapter, students will also learn how to calculate the surface area and volumes of a combination of solids using formulas.

13.3 Volume of a Combination of Solids

For calculating the volume of shapes that are a combination of two or more solid shapes, students must find out the volume area of individual shapes first.

13.4 Conversion of a Solid From One Form to Another

Shape Formula
Total surface area of sphere = curved surface area of sphere 4 π r2
Total surface area of cone πr(r+l)
Curved surface area of cone πrl
Total surface area of cuboid 2(lb+bh+hl)
Total surface area of cylinder 2 πr(h+r)

  Volumes of 3D objects:

Shape Formula
Volume of sphere 4/3 πr³
Volume of hemisphere 2πr3/3
Volume of cone (⅓)πr2h
Volume of cube s3
Volume of cuboid lbh
Volume of cylinder πr2h

 Even if a solid is converted from one form to another, then the volume remains the same. Let us understand this with an example:

If there is water in the cuboid shape (which has dimensions of 20 * 22) which is transferred into a cylinder that has a height of 3.5 m and 2 m then what is the height of the water level in the cuboid shape if the water (once transferred into the cylinder) fills the cylinder to the brim?

Solution – From the theorem on volumes, we know that the volume of the water in the cylinder and the volume of the water in the cuboid would be the same. If the water fills the cylinder to the brim, then:

Volume of water in cylinder = π * r² * h = 22/7 * 1 * 3.5 = 11.

Volume of water in cuboid = l * b * h = 20 * 22 * h.

Since 20 * 22 * h = 3.5 * π, we get h = 11/(20 * 22) = 2.5 cm.

Related Questions:

Q1. How many silver coins, 1.75 cm in diameter and of thickness 2 mm, must be melted to form a cuboid of dimensions 5.5 cm × 10 cm × 3.5 cm?

Solution: It is known that the coins are cylindrical in shape.

So, height (h1) of the cylinder = 2 mm = 0.2 cm

Radius (r) of circular end of coins = 1.75/2 = 0.875 cm

Now, the number of coins to be melted to form the required cuboids be “n”

So, Volume of n coins = Volume of cuboids

n × π × r2 × h1 = l × b × h

n×π×(0.875)2×0.2 = 5.5×10×3.5

Or, n = 400

Q2. A drinking glass is in the shape of a frustum of a cone of height 14 cm. The diameters of its two circular ends are 4 cm and 2 cm. Find the capacity of the glass.

Solution: Radius (r1) of the upper base = 4/2 = 2 cm

Radius (r2) of lower the base = 2/2 = 1 cm

Height = 14 cm

Now, Capacity of glass = Volume of frustum of cone

So, Capacity of glass = (⅓)×π×h(r12+r22+r1r2)

= (⅓)×π×(14)(22+12+ (2)(1))

∴ The capacity of the glass = 102×(⅔) cm3

Q.33 A cistern, internally measuring 150 cm × 120 cm × 110 cm, has 129600 cm3 of water in it. Porous bricks are placed in the water until the cistern is full to the brim. Each brick absorbs one-seventeenth of its own volume of water. How many bricks can be put in without overflowing the water, each brick being 22.5 cm × 7.5 cm × 6.5 cm?

Ans.

Volume of cistern=150×120×110=1980000 cm3Volume to be filled in cistern=1980000129600=1850400 cm3Let n number of porous bricks were placed in cistern.So, volume of n bricks=n×22.5×7.5×6.5=1096.875nEach brick absorbs one-seventeenth of its volume.Volume absorbed by n bricks=n17(1096.875)Now,   Volume to be filled in cistern+Volume absorbed by n bricks        =Volume of n bricksor, 1850400+n17(1096.875)=1096.875nor, n=1792.41So, 1792 bricks can be put in the given cistern.
