Grade 10 - Measurement

Explanation and Free Practice Resources

Students calculate the surface areas of right prisms, closed cylinders, regular pyramids, and right circular cones using SA=2B+PhSA=2B+Ph, SA=2πr2+2πrhSA=2\pi r^2+2\pi rh, SA=B+12PlSA=B+\tfrac12Pl, and SA=πr(r+ℓ)SA=\pi r(r+\ell), distinguishing base, lateral, slant, and perpendicular heights and reporting square units. Students calculate volumes of prisms, cylinders, pyramids, and cones using V=BhV=Bh and V=13BhV=\tfrac13Bh, including V=πr2hV=\pi r^2h and V=13πr2hV=\tfrac13\pi r^2h, and determine how a scale factor kk changes lengths, areas, and volumes by kk, k2k^2, and k3k^3, respectively. Students solve problems involving composite solids by decomposing figures into familiar solids, combining volumes and exposed surface areas while excluding shared internal faces, using consistent units and exact or appropriately rounded results.
