ठोसों का सतही क्षेत्रफल और आयतन (Surface Area and Volume of Solids)

In ICSE Class 8 Mathematics, "Surface Area and Volume of Solids" provides an authoritative, mathematically rigorous master study guide investigating three-dimensional spatial mensuration for cubes, cuboids, and right circular cylinders. This comprehensive chapter explores Spatial Fundamentals (Difference between perimeter [1D: $\text{cm}$], area [2D: $\text{cm}^2$], and volume [3D: $\text{cm}^3$]; Capacity vs Volume: internal volume of a container; Metric volume-capacity conversions: $1\text{ m}^3 = 1000\text{ liters}$, $1\text{ liter} = 1000\text{ cm}^3$, $1\text{ mL} = 1\text{ cm}^3$), Mensuration of Cuboid (Dimensions $l, b, h$: 1. Total Surface Area [TSA]: $2(lb + bh + hl)$, 2. Lateral Surface Area [LSA / Area of 4 Walls]: $2h(l + b)$, 3. Volume: $l \times b \times h$, 4. Space Diagonal [Length of longest rod]: $\sqrt{l^2 + b^2 + h^2}$), Mensuration of Cube (Edge length $a$: 1. TSA: $6a^2$, 2. LSA: $4a^2$, 3. Volume: $a^3$, 4. Space Diagonal: $a\sqrt{3}$), Mensuration of Right Circular Cylinder (Radius $r$, height $h$: 1. Curved Surface Area [CSA]: $2\pi rh$, 2. Total Surface Area [TSA]: $2\pi r(h + r)$, 3. Volume: $\pi r^2 h$), Hollow Cylinders / Pipes (External radius $R$, internal radius $r$, thickness $R - r$: 1. Volume of material: $\pi(R^2 - r^2)h$, 2. Total Surface Area: $2\pi Rh + 2\pi rh + 2\pi(R^2 - r^2)$), and Practical Applied Problems (Excavation of earth to dig wells, melting and recasting solids where volume is conserved, cost of plastering, painting, and painting walls and ceilings) aligned with the 2026–27 CISCE ICSE curriculum.

How Did Archimedes Use the Master Cylinder Law Inscribed on His Tombstone to Revolutionize 3D Geometry?

When the greatest mathematician of antiquity, Archimedes of Syracuse, was asked what he considered his greatest discovery, he did not choose his military catapults or his famous buoyancy principle that made him run naked through the streets shouting "Eureka!". Instead, he chose a geometric relationship between a sphere and a cylinder: that a sphere inscribed inside a cylinder occupies exactly two-thirds of its volume and two-thirds of its surface area! He was so proud of this discovery that he requested a cylinder and sphere be carved onto his gravestone! In three-dimensional space, formulas are not arbitrary: if you take a cylinder of radius $r$ and height $h$, and slice its curved wall vertically, it unrolls into a PERFECT RECTANGLE whose length is the base circumference $2\pi r$ and breadth is the height $h$! That is why Curved Surface Area is simply: $2\pi r \times h = \mathbf{2\pi rh}$! What is the longest fishing rod you can pack diagonally inside a room? What happens to total volume when metallic blocks are melted down? Let's master surface area and volume of solids.

3D mensuration governs architecture (HVAC airflow capacity, building room volumes), packaging industrial design (beverage cans, shipping cartons), civil hydraulic engineering (well digging, reservoir storage dams), and mining geology. Mastering cylinder and cuboid mensuration is a core requirement for ICSE Class 8, 9, and 10 board examinations.

A godown measures $40\text{ m} \times 25\text{ m} \times 15\text{ m}$. Find the maximum number of wooden crates each measuring $1.5\text{ m} \times 1.25\text{ m} \times 0.5\text{ m}$ that can be stored in the godown.
उत्तर एवं व्याख्या देखें
उत्तर: Step 1: Calculate the volume of the godown:
$$V_1 = 40 \times 25 \times 15 = \mathbf{15,000\text{ m}^3}$$
Step 2: Calculate the volume of one wooden crate:
$$V_2 = 1.5 \times 1.25 \times 0.5 = \frac{3}{2} \times \frac{5}{4} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{15}{16} = \mathbf{0.9375\text{ m}^3}$$
Step 3: Number of crates $= \frac{\text{Volume of Godown}}{\text{Volume of One Crate}}$:
$$N = \frac{15,000}{\frac{15}{16}} = 15,000 \times \frac{16}{15} = 1000 \times 16 = \mathbf{16,000\text{ crates}}$$.
$N = (40 \times 25 \times 15) / (1.5 \times 1.25 \times 0.5) = 15000 / (15/16) = 16,000\text{ crates}$.
2
Find the curved surface area and total surface area of a right circular cylinder of diameter $14\text{ cm}$ and height $20\text{ cm}$. (Take $\pi = \frac{22}{7}$).
उत्तर एवं व्याख्या देखें
उत्तर: Step 1: Radius $r = \frac{14}{2} = 7\text{ cm}$, height $h = 20\text{ cm}$.
Step 2: Curved Surface Area (CSA):
$$\text{CSA} = 2\pi rh = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times 20 = 2 \times 22 \times 20 = \mathbf{880\text{ cm}^2}$$
Step 3: Total Surface Area (TSA):
$$\text{TSA} = 2\pi r(h + r) = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times (20 + 7) = 44 \times 27 = \mathbf{1,188\text{ cm}^2}$$.
$\\text{CSA} = 2 \times (22/7) \times 7 \times 20 = 880\text{ cm}^2$. $\\text{TSA} = 44 \times 27 = 1188\text{ cm}^2$.
3
What is the length of the longest pole that can be put in a room of dimensions $10\text{ m} \times 10\text{ m} \times 5\text{ m}$?
उत्तर एवं व्याख्या देखें
उत्तर:

The longest pole is along the space diagonal of the cuboid:

$$D = \sqrt{l^2 + b^2 + h^2}$$


$$D = \sqrt{10^2 + 10^2 + 5^2} = \sqrt{100 + 100 + 25} = \sqrt{225} = \mathbf{15\text{ meters}}$$

.
The longest pole has length $15\text{ meters}$.


$D = \sqrt{10^2 + 10^2 + 5^2} = \sqrt{225} = 15\text{ meters}$.
4
A solid metallic cube of edge $12\text{ cm}$ is melted and recast into smaller cubes each of edge $3\text{ cm}$. How many such small cubes are formed?
उत्तर एवं व्याख्या देखें
उत्तर: Step 1: Volume of original large cube $= a_1^3 = 12^3 = 1,728\text{ cm}^3$.
Step 2: Volume of one small cube $= a_2^3 = 3^3 = 27\text{ cm}^3$.
Step 3: Number of cubes formed:
$$N = \frac{a_1^3}{a_2^3} = \left( \frac{12}{3} \right)^3 = 4^3 = \mathbf{64\text{ cubes}}$$.
$N = (12/3)^3 = 4^3 = 64\text{ small cubes}$.
5
A well of diameter $14\text{ meters}$ is dug $15\text{ meters}$ deep. Find the volume of earth taken out and the cost of plastering its inner curved surface at $\text{Rs } 30\text{ per m}^2$.
उत्तर एवं व्याख्या देखें
उत्तर: Step 1: Radius $r = \frac{14}{2} = 7\text{ m}$, depth $h = 15\text{ m}$.
Step 2: Volume of earth excavated (Volume of cylinder):
$$V = \pi r^2 h = \frac{22}{7} \times 7^2 \times 15 = 22 \times 7 \times 15 = 154 \times 15 = \mathbf{2,310\text{ m}^3}$$
Step 3: Inner curved surface area (CSA):
$$\text{CSA} = 2\pi rh = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times 15 = 44 \times 15 = \mathbf{660\text{ m}^2}$$
Step 4: Cost of plastering:
$$\text{Cost} = 660 \times 30 = \mathbf{\text{Rs } 19,800}$$.
Volume $= (22/7) \times 49 \times 15 = 2310\text{ m}^3$. CSA $= 44 \times 15 = 660\text{ m}^2$. Cost $= 660 \times 30 = \text{Rs } 19,800$.
6
A cylindrical water tank of radius $1.4\text{ m}$ and height $2.1\text{ m}$ is full of water. How many liters of water does it hold?
उत्तर एवं व्याख्या देखें
उत्तर: Step 1: Calculate the volume in cubic meters ($V = \pi r^2 h$):
$$V = \frac{22}{7} \times (1.4)^2 \times 2.1 = \frac{22}{7} \times 1.96 \times 2.1 = 22 \times 1.96 \times 0.3 = \mathbf{12.936\text{ m}^3}$$
Step 2: Convert cubic meters to liters ($1\text{ m}^3 = 1000\text{ Liters}$):
$$\text{Capacity} = 12.936 \times 1000 = \mathbf{12,936\text{ Liters}}$$.
$V = (22/7) \times 1.96 \times 2.1 = 12.936\text{ m}^3$. In liters: $12.936 \times 1000 = 12,936\text{ Liters}$.
7
The total surface area of a cube is $486\text{ cm}^2$. Find its volume.
उत्तर एवं व्याख्या देखें
उत्तर: Step 1: Total Surface Area $= 6a^2 = 486\text{ cm}^2$:
$$a^2 = \frac{486}{6} = 81$$
$$a = \sqrt{81} = 9\text{ cm}$$
Step 2: Calculate Volume ($V = a^3$):
$$V = 9^3 = 9 \times 9 \times 9 = \mathbf{729\text{ cm}^3}$$.
$6a^2 = 486 \implies a^2 = 81 \implies a = 9\text{ cm}$. Volume $= 9^3 = 729\text{ cm}^3$.
8
A metallic pipe is $77\text{ cm}$ long. The inner diameter of a cross section is $4\text{ cm}$, the outer diameter being $4.4\text{ cm}$. Find the volume of the metal.
उत्तर एवं व्याख्या देखें
उत्तर: Step 1: Internal radius $r = \frac{4}{2} = 2\text{ cm}$; External radius $R = \frac{4.4}{2} = 2.2\text{ cm}$. Length $h = 77\text{ cm}$.
Step 2: Volume of metal in hollow cylinder:
$$V = \pi (R^2 - r^2) h = \frac{22}{7} \times \left( 2.2^2 - 2^2 \right) \times 77$$
$$= 22 \times (4.84 - 4) \times 11 = 22 \times 0.84 \times 11$$
$$= 242 \times 0.84 = \mathbf{203.28\text{ cm}^3}$$.
$V = \frac{22}{7} \times (4.84 - 4) \times 77 = 22 \times 0.84 \times 11 = 203.28\text{ cm}^3$.
