Surface area of a sphere7:31
Surface area and volume are the two main parameters of a 3-dimensional solid object.

Sphere is a 3-dimensional perfectly round object having only one surface and no edges.

In this session we will learning the difference between hollow and solid sphere and hemisphere and will learn to calculate surface area by using formulae.
Volume of a Sphere9:28
This session starts with an easy to relate example of the story of a thirsty crow to help you to understand the volume of a sphere and a hemisphere.

Also there is one problem solving that will help you to understand the application of the topic and the formula.

Watch this session and enhance your knowledge about this perfectly round object.
Surface area of Cube, Cuboid & Cylinder8:08
In this session you will clearly come to know the difference between surface area and volume of an 3-D object.
This session is dedicated to the three objects cube, cuboid and cylinder whose surface areas are derived using real life example of container and also one problem for each object is solved.
It will not only help you in understanding the difference between surface areas and volume but also to use the formulas for various question solving.
Volume of Cube, Cuboid & Cylinder7:19
In this session you will learn to derive formulae for volume of cube, cuboid and cylinder with the help of real life examples.
You will also be able to solve questions on some non-standard shapes with the help of standard formulae.
Surface Areas Of Right Circular Cylinder Activity4:55
This is an activity video on surface area of right circular cylinder.

It clearly shows how the formula for surface area of cylinder is derived which in turn will help you in remembering the formula logically.
Surface area & volume of a cone & Frustum11:56
Cone and Frustum of cone are the shapes which looks a little similar and it is difficult to remember their formulae.

We have a taken the example of icecream cone and cup to explain the concept practically by solving a real life scenario.

Watch this session to know how a small change in parameter can make a big difference in profits/loss for ice-cream companies.
Amazing tricks to understand the mensuration formulas9:12
There are a lot of formulae for surface area and volume of all 6 objects.

Students find these formulae similar and quite confusing.

This session is purely dedicated to avoid all the confusion in the formuale and makes it easy to understand and remember.
Test your knowledge - Quiz4:18
This is a Quiz video based on different shapes and combination of shapes to refresh our knowledge and understanding on the topic.

Requirements

No advanced maths knowledge needed
Basic arithmetic (addition, multiplication, squaring)
Familiarity with basic shapes
A notebook and pen for practice
A calculator (or phone calculator)
A device to watch the lessons
Willingness to practise the problems

Description

Struggling with surface area and volume? This geometry course makes it simple.

Geometry doesn't have to be intimidating. This course takes one of its most important areas, the surface area and volume of 3D shapes, and makes it genuinely easy to understand, from beginner level all the way to advanced.

Through clear explanatory videos, step-by-step problem-solving, and downloadable practice resources, you'll learn how to calculate lengths, areas, and volumes with confidence, and actually understand where the formulas come from, instead of just memorising them.

You'll start with an introduction to surface areas and volumes, then learn to derive the formulas for the cube, cuboid, and cylinder. From there you'll master the surface area and volume of spheres and hemispheres, cones, and frustums, working through solved problems for every shape so you can confidently apply what you learn. Quiz videos and PDF assessments at each stage help you test and lock in your understanding.

Every concept is explained with clear visuals and worked examples, so the ideas actually stick. Whether you're a student preparing for exams or someone who just wants to finally understand this topic, this course gives you the clarity and confidence to solve any surface area and volume problem.

Understand geometry the easy way. Enroll now and start solving surface area and volume problems with confidence.
