Right Circular Cylinder
rightcylinderw100png.png
It has two parallel circular bases and one curved surface. The axis joining the centers of the bases is perpendicular to the base planes.
Oblique Cylinder: A cylinder where the axis is not perpendicular to the bases.

Right Circular Cone:
cone31svg.svg
It has one circular base and one apex. The line from the apex to the center of the base is the height \(h\).
Slant Height \(l\): The distance from the apex to the edge of the base. Calculated using Pythagoras: \(l = \sqrt{r^2 + h^2}\).
 
Oblique Cone: A cone where the apex is not aligned directly above the center of the base.

Sphere and Hemisphere
Sphere: A perfectly round 3D object where every point on the surface is equidistant \(r\) from the center. It is formed by rotating a semicircle around its diameter.

Hemisphere: Exactly half of a sphere. It has a curved surface and a flat circular top.

Shape Curved Surface Area (C.S.A.) Total Surface Area (T.S.A.) Volume (V)
Cylinder \(2 \pi rh\)  \(2 \pi r(r+h)\) \( \pi r^2h\)
Cone \( \pi rl \)  \( \pi r(l+r)\) \( \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2h\)
Sphere \(4 \pi r^2\) \(4 \pi r^2\) \( \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3\) 
Hemisphere  \(2 \pi r^2\)  \(3 \pi r^2 \) \( \frac{2}{3} \pi r^3 \)
 
Important!
Note:
  • For a sphere, the Curved Surface Area and Total Surface Area are the same because it has no flat faces.
  • The value of \(π\) should be taken as \( \frac{22}{7} \) unless its value shared in the problem
