What are the formulas for find the surface area of a cone and a cylinder?

Posted on January 31st, 2010 by admin in area formulas | 1 Comment »


The surface area of a cone is A = πrl where l is the slant height of the cone (if you don’t know it, but know the height and radius, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem).

You can find the proof here:

For a cylinder, the surface area is:

A = 2πr² + 2πrh

For the cylinder, we compute the area of the top and bottom (which are just two congruent circles), plus the lateral area (which is just a rectangle with it’s height being the height of the cylinder and the width being the perimeter of either base).

I hope this helps!

surface area formulas?

Which formulas can be used to find the surface area of a right prism where p is the perimeter of the base, h is the height of the prism, BA is the area of bases, & LA is the lateral area?
there may be more than one right answer.

A. SA = BA + 1/2 ph
B. SA = BA + 1/2 LA
C. SA = BA + LA
D. SA = BA + ph
E. SA = BA – LA

What is the formulas for determining the lateral area of any prism/regular pyramid/cone/cylinder?

Posted on December 31st, 2009 by admin in area formulas | 1 Comment »

PLEASE HELP! Very important help much appreciated

Hi,

Lateral Area of any prism = perimeter of base x height of prism

Lateral Area of any regular pyramid = ½ x perimeter of base x slant height of pyramid

(Remember: apothem² + height² = slant height²)

Lateral Area of any cone = πrs, where r = radius of base and s = slant height

(Remember: radius² + height² = slant height²)

Lateral Area of any cylinder = 2πrh, where r = radius of base and h = height

I hope that helps!! :-)

what are the formulas to finding the Volume and Area of these shapes: Triangle, Pyrimad, Cone, and Cylindar?

I need to get a better approach towards getting the answer to these types of questions:
~Find the height of a pyramid whose base is a regular nonagon with side length 8 inches and lateral faces are isosceles triangles with legs 30.
~ how do you get the answer to this question..step by step?

volume:
triangle-base x height divide by 2
pyramid-i don’t know but u cant blame me im only in 6th grade
cone -i dont know either but im the only one who answer the question so far because i luv math
cylinder-i know this lol………..ummm……yeah pie x radius squared x height

vote me best answer please !!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANKS SO MUCH! I REALLY REALLY APPRECIATE!

2-D
Square= Length x Width
Rectangle= Length x Width
Parallelogram= Base x Height
Trapezoid= Base x Height
Rhombus= Base x Height
Triangle= Base x Height /2
Circle= Pi R^2
Circumference= Pi x diameter Or… 2 x Pi x radius

What formulas should I use to Calculate the Surface area of these figure?

I just sketched 3 shapes quickly. Im very unsure what formula to use on A and C.

Thanks

A & B:- This figure is formed by 2 right angled triangles and 3 paralellograms
C :- Formed by 4 paralellograms and 2 trapeziums
Formulas:
Area of paralellogram = base * height
Area of triangle = (1/2) * base * height
Ares of trapezium = (1/2) * height * (sum of lengths of its parallel sides)

NOTE : If you need the solution for this question, please let me know

Help with formulas for circles! Diameter, radius, area and circumference! Please help answer the formulas!?

Posted on December 17th, 2009 by admin in area formulas | 3 Comments »

I need help with these formulas:

What is the formula to finding the area of a circle if all you have to work with is the diameter.

What is the formula to finding the cirfumference of a circle is you only have the radis or diameter?

Please help me, I am confused!!!

2 times radius = diameter d=2r, r=d/2
If you have the diameter divide it by 2, to get r, the radius.
Area = pi r^2
Circumference = pi x diameter

What’s the area and volume formulas for a pentagonal prism?

Posted on December 14th, 2009 by admin in area formulas | 2 Comments »


The area of a regular pentagon is equal to 1.720a (where a= the length of a side), so multiply that by length for volume of a regular prism, or for area, multiply it by 2 and add (5 times [a * L]), where L is the length.

In the case of an irregular pentagonal prism, divide one end into 5 triangles, find the area of each, & add them together, then follow the same steps as above.

Is There Any Good Tips On How To Memorize The Perimeter And Area Formulas?

Posted on December 11th, 2009 by admin in area formulas | 7 Comments »

I have a perimeter and area test on Wednesday and I need to memorize the formulas for these shapes:

Rectangle:
Perimeter: (Base + Height) x 2
Area: Base x Height

Square:
Perimeter: side x 4
Area: side x side

Triangle:
Perimeter: Add 3 sides
Area: 1/2 x base x height

Parallelogram:
Perimeter: (Base + Slant Height) x 2
Area: Base x Height

Circle:
Perimeter: pi x diameter
Area: pi x radius squared

Rhombus
Perimeter: side x 4
Area: side x side

Irregular Shape:
Perimeter: Add all sides
Area: Divide into sections
Apply the apporate formula
Add together
I’m in grade 7 and these are the right formulas my teacher gave them to me.

There is nothing else you need to do but actually remember what the formulas are. Good luck in your exam.

What are the formulas to find the volume and surface area of a cylinder?

Posted on December 9th, 2009 by admin in area formulas | 3 Comments »

I’m to lazy to find them myself, Bwahahaha!
What’s base?

V = Area of base * Height
= π r² h

SA = 2 π r h + 2 π r²

Area of the base, if your talking about a circular cylinder is a circle (area = π r², where r = radius of circle) if you’re looking at a square cylinder (area = s², where s is length of one of the sides), if a cylinder with base of a rectangle (Area of the base = lw), if a cylinder with a base of a triangle (Area of base = 1/2 bh) etc.

The formulas I gave, assume a cylinder with a circular base.
