Formulas for Common 3D Shapes

Sphere (Ball) Surface Area

A sphere is a perfectly round geometrical object in three-dimensional space.

A = 4 π r2

Cone Surface Area

A cone is a three-dimensional shape that tapers smoothly from a flat base to a point called the apex.

A = πr(r + √(h2 + r2))

Where r is the radius of the base and h is the height.

Cube Surface Area

A cube is a regular polyhedron with 6 congruent square faces.

A = 6 a2

Where a is the length of an edge.

Cylindrical Tank Surface Area

A cylinder has two parallel circular bases at a distance h from each other.

A = 2πr(r + h)
