Cubes: Geometry Formula Sheet - 3D Shapes
Cubes
Volume of a cube:
= a x a x a = a3
Cuboid
Volume of a cuboid:
= length x width x height = lwh
Surface area of a cuboid:
= 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
Cylinder
Volume of a cylinder
= πr2h
Surface area of an open cylinder:
= 2πrh
Surface area of a closed cylinder:
= 2πrh + 2πr2 = 2πr(r+h)
where r is the radius of the cylinder and h is the
height.
Pyramid (general)
Volume of a pyramid
= 1⁄3 (base area x height) = 1⁄3Ah
where A is the area of the base, and h is the height.
This formula works for any pyramid with a rectangular
or triangular base and triangular sides.
