Welcome class! Today, we will dive into how to calculate the surface areas of combined solids. Who remembers what a solid is?
A solid is a three-dimensional figure, like a cube or a sphere.
Good! Now, can anyone name a combination of solids you might see in real life?
A truck with a tanker that looks like a cylinder with hemispherical ends!
Exactly! For surface areas, we focus on the curved parts that are visible. Remember the acronym TSA: Total Surface Area includes all the visible areas. To calculate, we usually find the CSA, or Curved Surface Area, of each combined solid.
So if we have a hemisphere on a cylinder, we only add their curved surfaces?
Right! At the end, we'll see how to work out specific examples together.

Now let's switch gears to volumes. Why do you think it's simpler to calculate the volume of combined solids?
Because you just add the volumes of the individual solids?
Correct! That's unlike surface areas where we need to account for hidden areas. Let's explore an example. If we have a cuboid and a half cylinder, how do we find the total volume?
We add the volume of the cuboid and half the cylinder!
Exactly! Remember, the formula is volume = length Γ breadth Γ height for the cuboid and volume = (1/2)ΟrΒ²h for the cylinder.
So we just plug in the values?
Yes! Letβs practice a couple of problems together.

Letβs talk about how knowing these formulas can be helpful in everyday situations. When would you need to know the surface area for painting an object?
When we want to color something, like that toy we discussed!
Exactly! And volumes are essential for things like packing materials. If you need to store water in a tank, how would you ensure itβs the correct volume?
By calculating the volume of the tank and the water weβre pouring in!
Great! Now let's think about the formulae.
Are they different for different shapes?
Yes, each shape has its specific formulas! Remember them well, as they are fundamental.

Surface Areas and Volumes
This section delves into the crucial aspects of calculating surface areas and volumes for combined solids, specifically focusing on how simple 3D shapes such as cuboids, cones, cylinders, spheres, and hemispheres can be joined. In everyday scenarios, we often encounter objects formed by different solids, and understanding their surface areas and volumes helps in practical applications like making estimates in construction and crafting.
Key Concepts
- Surface Area of a Combination of Solids: The total surface area (TSA) can be calculated by summing the curved surface areas (CSA) of individual parts, carefully excluding areas that are not visible due to joining.
- Volume of a Combination of Solids: The volumes of combined solids are simpler to calculate as the total volume is the sum of the volumes of the constituent solids.
In-depth examples illustrate these concepts, such as coloring a toy with a cone and hemisphere or calculating the air volume in a shed with a cuboidal base and a half-cylindrical top. Overall, this section draws attention to the practical implications of geometry in diverse fields.

From Class IX, you are familiar with some of the solids like cuboid, cone, cylinder, and sphere. You have also learnt how to find their surface areas and volumes. In our day-to-day life, we come across a number of solids made up of combinations of two or more of the basic solids as shown above. You must have seen a truck with a container fitted on its back, carrying oil or water from one place to another. Is it in the shape of any of the four basic solids mentioned above? You may guess that it is made of a cylinder with two hemispheres as its ends.
Detailed Explanation
In this section, we introduce some common three-dimensional shapes that we deal with in mathematics: cuboids, cones, cylinders, and spheres. We revisit how to calculate their surface areas and volumes. We also observe that in real life, we often encounter combined shapes, such as cylindrical tanks with hemispherical ends. Understanding how to break down these shapes into familiar solids will be important for calculating their surface areas and volumes.
Examples & Analogies
Think of a truck carrying water. The container is not just a simple shape but is instead likely a combination of a cylinder and two hemispheres. This is similar to how we build complex structures in reality, where various shapes come together.

Let us consider the container seen in Fig. 12.2. How do we find the surface area of such a solid? Whenever we come across a new problem, we first try to see if we can break it down into smaller problems, we have earlier solved. We can see that this solid is made up of a cylinder with two hemispheres stuck at either end. The total surface area of the new solid is the sum of the curved surface areas of each of the individual parts.
Detailed Explanation
To calculate the surface area of a combined shape, we need to identify its individual components. For instance, if our solid consists of a cylinder with two hemispherical ends, we calculate the curved surface area of the cylinder (CSA of cylinder) and the curved surface areas of both hemispheres. The formula we use is as follows: Total Surface Area = CSA of Hemisphere 1 + CSA of Cylinder + CSA of Hemisphere 2. This method allows us to systematically find the surface area by referencing simpler problems we have already solved.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine you are wrapping a gift that has an unusual shape, like a packed lunch container that is a cylinder with round ends. Before wrapping, you break down the surfaces: how much paper is needed to cover the curved part and how much for each rounded end. This is just like calculating the surface area for complex shapes!

Example 1: Rasheed got a playing top (lattu) shaped like a cone surmounted by a hemisphere. The entire top is 5 cm in height and the diameter of the top is 3.5 cm. The total surface area of the toy is equal to the CSA of the hemisphere plus the CSA of the cone.
Detailed Explanation
In this example, we see that the top is made up of two solid shapes: a cone on top of a hemisphere. To find the total surface area that Rasheed needs to paint, we calculate the curved surface area of the hemisphere and the cone. First, remember that the height of the cone is not just 5 cm; we need to subtract the radius of the hemisphere to find the height of the cone alone. Once we calculate each surface area using known formulas, we can add them to get the total.
Examples & Analogies
Think of customizing your favorite dessert. If you have a cupcake (the cone) topped with frosting shaped like a half-ball (the hemisphere), you would want to know how much frosting you need to cover the entire surface. Thatβs just like figuring out how much paint Rasheed requires for his toy!
Calculating Total Surface Area for Block Shapes

Example 2: The decorative block shown is made of two solids β a cube and a hemisphere. The base of the block is a cube with edge 5 cm, and the hemisphere on the top has a diameter of 4.2 cm.
Detailed Explanation
In this example, we start by calculating the surface area of the cube: the formula for the total surface area of a cube is 6 times the area of one face (edge square). However, we must remember that the area of the base where the hemisphere is attached does not count towards the surface area. Instead, we subtract this area and then add the curved surface area of the hemisphere. This calculation requires careful attention to the shapes involved and how they connect.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine a cake that is a cube with a dome on top, similar to a cake with a hemispherical decoration on it. When you frost this dessert, you wouldnβt frost the part where the dome meets the cake. Thus, knowing how to adjust the surface area calculations mirrors our real-life experience with customized cakes!
Volume of a Combination of Solids

In the previous section, we have discussed how to find the surface area of solids made up of a combination of two basic solids. Here, we shall see how to calculate their volumes. In calculating the volume, we sum the volumes of the individual components without subtracting any overlapping parts.
Detailed Explanation
Unlike surface area calculations, when finding volumes for combined shapes (like a cylinder and a cone), we simply add the volumes of each shape. Here, we use the formulas for volume (Volume of cylinder = ΟrΒ²h; Volume of cone = 1/3ΟrΒ²h) to find the total volume correctly. This is because the shapes keep the full volume when combined; nothing is hidden like with surface areas.
Examples & Analogies
Think of a glass filled with ice cubes and liquid. The total volume inside the glass is the sum of the liquid volume and the volumes of the ice cubes. Whether the ice is present or not, the glass still holds the same overall volume of space. This analogy helps us understand that when calculating volumes, we measure everything combined!
