Surface Area - Common Formulas

Common Formulas

Surface areas of common solids
Shape Equation Variables
Cube s = side length
Rectangular prism = length, w = width, h = height
All Prisms B = the area of one base, P = the perimeter of one base, h = height
Sphere r = radius of sphere
Spherical lune r = radius of sphere, θ = dihedral angle
Closed cylinder r = radius of the circular base, h = height of the cylinder
Lateral surface area of a cone

s = slant height of the cone,
r = radius of the circular base,
h = height of the cone

Full surface area of a cone s = slant height of the cone,

r = radius of the circular base,
h = height of the cone

Pyramid B = area of base, P = perimeter of base, L = slant height

Famous quotes containing the words common and/or formulas:

    It is common knowledge to every schoolboy and even every Bachelor of Arts,
    That all sin is divided into two parts.
    One kind of sin is called a sin of commission, and that is very
    important,
    Ogden Nash (1902–1971)

    You treat world history as a mathematician does mathematics, in which nothing but laws and formulas exist, no reality, no good and evil, no time, no yesterday, no tomorrow, nothing but an eternal, shallow, mathematical present.
    Hermann Hesse (1877–1962)
