Full Chapter Summary & Detailed Notes - Surface Areas and Volumes Class 10 NCERT

Overview & Key Concepts

• Chapter Goal: Learn to calculate surface areas and volumes of combined solids like cuboid+hemisphere, cone+cylinder. Exam Focus: TSA, CSA, volumes of combinations. 2025 Updates: Real-life applications like tents, bird-baths. Fun Fact: Ancient Greeks studied spheres, volumes. Core Idea: Break complex solids into basics. Real-World: Trucks, test tubes, toys, bird-baths, sheds.
• Wider Scope: Engineering, architecture; capacity calculations.

12.1 Introduction

• Recall basics: Cuboid, cone, cylinder, sphere from Class IX (Fig. 12.1).
• Combinations in life: Truck container (cylinder + 2 hemispheres, Fig. 12.2), test tube (cylinder + hemisphere, Fig. 12.3).
• Buildings, monuments as combinations.
• Challenge: Classify, find SA/volumes/capacities.
• Detailed Discussion: Break into parts; SA excludes joined faces, volume sums. Example: Container SA = CSA cylinder + 2 CSA hemispheres.
• Importance: Practical problems like painting, capacity.
• Historical Note: Archimedes' sphere-cylinder relation.

12.2 Surface Area of a Combination of Solids

• Break into basics; SA = sum visible surfaces.
• Example: Container (Fig. 12.4) TSA = CSA cylinder + 2 CSA hemispheres.
• Toy (cone + hemisphere, Fig. 12.5) TSA = CSA cone + CSA hemisphere (base excluded).
• Detailed Discussion: Match radii; subtract hidden areas. For cone on hemisphere, smooth surface, no base SA.
• Formulas Recap: CSA cylinder 2πrh, hemisphere 2πr², cone πrl.
• Common Mistakes: Forgetting subtract joined parts.

Example 1: Top (Lattu) SA

• Height 5 cm, diameter 3.5 cm; cone h=3.25 cm, l≈3.7 cm.
• TSA = CSA hemisphere + CSA cone = (πr²) + πrl ≈39.6 cm².
• Detailed Steps: r=1.75 cm, CSA hemisphere = 2πr²/2 = πr² (curved only? Book 2πr²/2=πr²). Wait, hemisphere CSA=2πr², but for toy external curved.
• Verification: Calculations with π=22/7.
• Extension: If base painted, add πr².

Example 2: Decorative Block SA

• Cube 5 cm, hemisphere diameter 4.2 cm.
• TSA = 6*25 - πr² + 2πr² =150 + πr² ≈163.86 cm².
• Detailed Steps: Subtract base hemisphere from cube TSA, add CSA hemisphere.
• Verification: r=2.1 cm, π=22/7.
• Extension: If depression inside, different.

Example 3: Toy Rocket SA

• Height 26 cm, cone h=6 cm, diameters 5 cm cone, 3 cm cylinder.
• Orange: CSA cone + π(r² - r'²) ≈63.585 cm².
• Yellow: CSA cylinder + πr'² ≈195.465 cm².
• Detailed Steps: Slant l=√(2.5²+6²)=6.5 cm; ring area since cone base larger.
• Verification: π=3.14.
• Extension: Total SA if uniform color.

Example 4: Bird-Bath SA

• Cylinder h=1.45 m, r=0.3 m.
• TSA = 2πr(h + r) =3.3 m².
• Detailed Steps: CSA cylinder + CSA hemisphere (depression external? Book as external).
• Verification: π=22/7.
• Extension: Volume of water.

Exercise 12.1

• 9 problems: Joined cubes, vessel, toy, block, depression, capsule, tent, cavity, article.
• Detailed Discussion: Apply combination SA; π=22/7 unless otherwise.
• Common Types: Mounted, surmounted, hollowed, scooped.

12.3 Volume of a Combination of Solids

• Volume = sum constituent volumes (no disappearance).
• Example: Shed (cuboid + half cylinder, Fig. 12.12) volume = cuboid + ½ cylinder.
• Detailed Discussion: Unlike SA, add fully; capacities subtract occupied.
• Formulas Recap: Cuboid lwh, cylinder πr²h, hemisphere 2/3 πr³.
• Common Mistakes: Forgetting half or depressions.

Example 5: Shed Volume

• Base 7x15 m, cuboid h=8 m; volume ≈1128.75 m³.
• Air: Subtract machinery 300 m³, workers 1.6 m³ ≈827.15 m³.
• Detailed Steps: Half cylinder r=3.5 m, h=15 m.
• Verification: π=22/7.
• Extension: If full cylinder.

Example 6: Juice Glass Capacity

• Diameter 5 cm, h=10 cm; apparent 196.25 cm³, actual 163.54 cm³.
• Detailed Steps: Subtract hemisphere volume 2/3 πr³ ≈32.71 cm³.
• Verification: π=3.14.
• Extension: If cone depression.

Example 7: Toy Volume Difference

• Cone h=2 cm, diameter 4 cm; toy volume 25.12 cm³.
• Cylinder difference 25.12 cm³.
• Detailed Steps: Toy = 2/3 πr³ + 1/3 πr²h; cylinder πr²(4).
• Verification: π=3.14.
• Extension: SA of toy.

Exercise 12.2

• 8 problems: Cone+hemisphere, model, gulab jamun, pen stand, vessel, pole, cone+hemisphere in cylinder, glass vessel.
• Detailed Discussion: Volumes add; subtract for cavities, displacements.
• Common Types: Standing, surmounted, filled, hollowed.
