How do you find the surface area and volume of a sphere?

A sphere is the set of all points in space equidistant from a given point (the center). The formula would be Surface Area= 4[pie]r^2 and the Volume= 4/3[pie]r^3 or (4[pie]r^3)/3.

How do we find the volume of pyramids and cones?

Pyramids and cone unlike prisms and cylinders have only one base. Sad for them but that means that they full one- third of the figures with two faces. Which is part of the equation. V=1/3 Ab*h. So Ab is the area of the base and h is the height. So you would fin the base's area and times it by the height. The way Schatt explain is it it's because of infinity amounts of same 'papers' placed inside to fill it to the height.

Solid figures in real life?

The first would be a rectangular prism.
The second would be a cylinder prism

How do we find surface area & lateral area of prisms and cylinders?

Lateral area would be the area of the non- bases. Prisms lateral area is equal to perimeter times height. Surface area is equal to lateral area plus the two bases.

How do we identify solids?

Solids are called three- dimensional figures with a width, depth and height. The volume would how much of it would be able to hold water for example. The surface area is the outside like for example painting it. There are two groups of solids polyhedra or non-polyhedra. Polyhedra have flat faces were the other has no flat surface. A prism have two bases were a pyramid have one.

How do we solve compound area problems?

In shapes there could be figures inscribed in one another or attach. If there attached you would add both there total areas. If its inscribed like a circle into a square and your given the radius you would use the radius. The radius would be half the length of the square. So if the radius is nine you would times it by two and get a sum of eighteen the length, width and the diameter. So the square would be 324. The area of the circle would be 81(pie).
That would be how you find the area.

How do we find the area of a circle?

The circle area conjuncture is the area of a circle that is given in the formula A=(pie)r^2. You would use r^2 to make up the length of the whole circle. That's basically the equation used to solve the area of a circle.
