Chapter 12.5, Problem 22HP

To determine

The difference between volume or container capacity and surface area.

Answer to Problem 22HP

The volume and surface area used for the any type of 3-D geometrical shape.

Explanation of Solution

The region or area occupied by the object’s surface is known as the surface area of that object whereas available amount of space in an object is known as the volume of object.

In the geometry there are different shapes as well as sizes are available like cuboid, cube, cone, cylinder and etc.

Every shape contains its surface volume and area as well.

The area including the curved part and base of object is known as the total surface area whereas the area of only curved surface of an object is known as the lateral surface area of object.

The surface area and volume of object is estimated in square unit and cubic units respectively.

For some two dimensional geometrical shapes, there is no volume calculation like circle; there is no expression to analyse the volume of circle though one can estimate the volume of sphere because the sphere is there dimensional shape of geometry.

Conclusion:

Hence, every geometrical shape contains its surface volume and area as well.
