FAQs on Area, Surface and Volume - Mathematics Optional Notes for UPSC

1. How do you calculate the surface area of a cube?
Ans. To calculate the surface area of a cube, you would use the formula: 6 x (side length)^2, where the side length represents the length of one side of the cube.
2. What is the difference between surface area and volume?
Ans. Surface area refers to the total area that covers the surface of a 3D object, while volume refers to the space occupied by the object.
3. How do you find the area of a circle?
Ans. To find the area of a circle, you would use the formula: π x (radius)^2, where π is a constant approximately equal to 3.14159 and the radius represents the distance from the center of the circle to any point on its circumference.
4. What is the formula for calculating the volume of a cylinder?
Ans. The formula to calculate the volume of a cylinder is: π x (radius)^2 x height, where π is a constant approximately equal to 3.14159, the radius represents the distance from the center of the base to its edge, and the height represents the distance between the two bases.
5. How do you find the surface area of a sphere?
Ans. To find the surface area of a sphere, you would use the formula: 4 x π x (radius)^2, where π is a constant approximately equal to 3.14159 and the radius represents the distance from the center of the sphere to any point on its surface.
