SPHERE

WHAT IS A SPHERE?
A sphere is a geometrical figure that is perfectly round, 3-dimensional

and circular - like a ball.

WHAT IS A SPHERE?
Geometrically, a sphere is defined as the set of all points equidistant

from a single point in space.

It is a shape of biggest volume with the smallest surface area.

SPHEROID?
Watermelon and Earth is not exactly a sphere as it is not perfectly

round.

This are known as spheroid.

PROPERTY OF A SPHERE

It is perfectly symmetrical
All points on the surface are the same

distance from the center.

It has no edges or vertices (corners)

General Formula for Volume of sphere

R is radius
By rearranging the above formula,

you can find the radius:

Radius=

EXAMPLE
Find the volume of a sphere of radius 9.6 m, rounding your answer to two decimal places.

SURFACE AREA OF SPHERE

Surface Area = 4 2
By rearranging the above formula,

you can find the radius:

Radius=

EXAMPLE

Find the surface area of a sphere of diameter 28 cm.

Radius = Diameter
Surface Area = 4 2

4 14 (28 divide by 2 and replace r with it)

= 2464 2

SURFACE AREA OF HEMISPHERE

The surface area of hemisphere is equals to half of surface area of sphere

plus the area of the base (circle).

2 2 + 2

Therefore Surface Area =3 2

this is only if the question asked about total surface area.

EXAMPLE
Find the total surface area of a hemisphere, whose radius is 8 cm.
Surface Area = 3 2

PRISM

WHAT IS A PRISM?
A prism is a geometrical solid object with two identical ends and flat

sides.

CROSS SECTION
A cross section is the shape made by cutting straight across an object.
A prism must have the same cross section all along its length.

NO CURVES!
A prism is a polyhedron which means all faces must be flat.

PARALLEL SIDES

The side faces of a prism are parallelograms.

When to ends are not parallel it is not a prism.

PRISM
VOLUME AND SURFACE AREA

VOLUME OF PRISM

Volume = Base Area Length

Base Area is calculated normally depends on the shape.

EXAMPLE
What is the volume of a prism where the base area is 25 m2 and which is 12 m long:
Volume = Base Area Length
= 25 12

= 300 3

SURFACE AREA OF PRISM

Surface Area = (2 x Base Area) + (Base Perimeter x Length)

EXAMPLE
What is the surface area of a prism where the base area is 25 m2, the base perimeter is 24

m, and the length is 12 m:

Surface Area = (2 x Base Area) + (Base Perimeter x Length)

= (2 25) + (24 12)

= 50 2 + 288 2

= 338 2

QUESTION!!

Find the total surface area of a large round bowl (hollow

hemisphere) with outer radius of 12 cm and thickness of
1 cm.

ANSWER
Outer Hemisphere:
S.A = 2 2
S.A = 2 122
S.A = 2 144
S.A = 288

Inner Hemisphere:
S.A = 2 2
S.A = 2 112
S.A = 2 121
S.A = 242

The Ring:
S.A =
S.A = ( 122 ) ( 112 )
S.A = 144 121
S.A = 23

Add All:
242 + 288 + 23
= 553
