Volume Calculations
- Calculate the volume of a cylinder given its radius and height.
- Find the volume of a cone with a specified radius and height.
- Determine the volume of a sphere given its radius.
Formulas:
- Cylinder: \( V = \pi r^2 h \)
- Cone: \( V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h \)
- Sphere: \( V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \)
-
Surface Area Calculations
- Calculate the surface area of a cylinder.
- Find the surface area of a cone.
- Determine the surface area of a sphere.
Formulas:
- Cylinder: \( SA = 2 \pi r (r + h) \)
- Cone: \( SA = \pi r (r + l) \) (where \( l \) is the slant height)
- Sphere: \( SA = 4 \pi r^2 \)
