Easy Level Worksheet

Part A: Subjective Questions - Very Short Answer (1 Mark Each)

Note: Answer each question with steps and explanation. Write down the answers on sheet and submit to the school subject teacher.

Surface area measures the total area of all surfaces of a 3D object, while volume measures the space it occupies.

Let's start by learning the basic formulas for cubes, cuboids, and cylinders.

1. Write the formula for the surface area of a cube.

Surface area = , where a is the side length

Perfect! A cube has 6 faces, each with area a², so total = 6a².

2. What is the formula for the volume of a cuboid?

Volume =

Excellent! Volume = length × breadth × height.

3. Define lateral surface area.

Lateral surface area is .

Correct! It's the area of vertical surfaces only.

4. Write the formula for the volume of a cylinder.

Volume =

Great! Volume of cylinder = π × radius² × height.

5. Write the unit of surface area.

Unit = (or m², mm², etc.)

Perfect! Surface area is measured in square units.

Drag each formula to its correct shape:

6a²
2(lb + bh + hl)
πr²h
l × b × h
2πrh

Part A: Section B – Short Answer Questions (2 Marks Each)

1. Find the total surface area of a cube of side 7 cm.

Formula: TSA = 6a² = 6 × (

= 6 × = cm²

Excellent! Total surface area = 294 cm².

2. A cuboid has length 10 cm, breadth 6 cm, and height 4 cm. Find its volume.

Formula: Volume = l × b × h

= × ×

= cm³

Perfect! Volume = 240 cm³.

3. Find the lateral surface area of a cube of side 5 cm.

Lateral surface area = 4a² (4 side faces)

= 4 × ()² = 4 ×

= cm²

Great! Lateral surface area = 100 cm².

4. The diameter of a cylinder is 14 cm and height is 10 cm. Find its volume (use π = 3.14).

Diameter = 14 cm, so radius = cm

Volume = πr²h = 3.14 × ² ×

= 3.14 × 49 × 10 = cm³

Excellent! Volume ≈ 1538.6 cm³.

5. Find the volume of a cube whose edge is 9 cm.

Volume = a³ = (

= cm³

Perfect! Volume = 729 cm³.

Part B: Objective Questions - Test Your Knowledge!

6. Volume of a cylinder =

(a) πr²h (b) 2πr²h (c) πrh (d) None

πr²h
2πr²h

Correct! Volume = π × radius² × height.

7. If side of cube = 2 cm, then its volume =

(a) 4 cm³ (b) 6 cm³ (c) 8 cm³ (d) 12 cm³

4

Perfect! Volume = 2³ = 8 cm³.

8. The shape of an oil tin is usually:

(a) Cube (b) Cuboid (c) Cylinder (d) Cone

Cube
Cuboid
Cylinder
Cone

Excellent! Oil tins are cylindrical in shape.

9. Lateral surface area of a cylinder =

(a) 2πr² (b) 2πrh (c) πr²h (d) πrh²

2πr²
2πrh
πr²h
πrh²

Perfect! LSA = 2πrh (curved surface area).

10. If r = 7 cm, h = 14 cm, volume of cylinder =

(a) 2156 cm³ (b) 4312 cm³ (c) 2156π cm³ (d) 4312π cm³

2156
cm³
4312
cm³
2156π cm³
4312π cm³

Correct! V = πr²h = π × 49 × 14 = 686π ≈ 2154.04 cm³. Answer (a) is closest when π ≈ 3.14.

🎉 Fantastic Work! You've Mastered Basic Surface Area and Volume!

Here's what you learned:

  • Key Formulas:

    CUBE (side = a)

    • Total Surface Area: 6a²
    • Lateral Surface Area: 4a²
    • Volume:

    CUBOID (length = l, breadth = b, height = h)

    • Total Surface Area: 2(lb + bh + hl)
    • Lateral Surface Area: 2(l + b)h
    • Volume: l × b × h

    CYLINDER (radius = r, height = h)

    • Total Surface Area: 2πr² + 2πrh = 2πr(r + h)
    • Curved/Lateral Surface Area: 2πrh
    • Volume: πr²h
  • Units:

    • Surface Area: cm², m², mm²
    • Volume: cm³, m³, litres (1 litre = 1000 cm³)
  • Important Points:

    • Diameter = 2 × radius
    • Lateral surface area excludes top and bottom faces
    • Volume measures capacity (how much space inside)
    • Surface area measures total outer covering
  • Problem-Solving Steps:

    1. Identify the shape
    2. Note given dimensions
    3. Choose appropriate formula
    4. Substitute values
    5. Calculate and write units

Understanding these formulas helps in real-world applications like painting, packaging, and construction!
