Revision Notes for ICSE Class 10 Maths Chapter 20 - Cylinder, Cone and Sphere

Cylinder

Cylinders are solid figures with a circular base or cross-section and parallel sides. They are closed solid figures formed by two circular bases and connected by a curved surface. It is a solid figure that consists of two circular bases connected by smooth, curved surfaces. Cylinders have a circular cross-section and parallel sides and are closed solid figures. 

  • Volume of a cylinder = Base Area * Height of cylinder= πr²h

  • Lateral Surface Area = Base Perimeter × height = 2πrh = πdh

  • Total Area = Lateral Surface + Base Area= 2πrh + 2πr² = 2πr (h+r)

Additionally, the chapter teaches students how to solve problems for hollow cylinders, such as pipes, which utilize slightly different formulas. 

In this case, we have to keep two radii in mind: R for the outer cylinder, and r for the inner cylinder:

  • Hollow Cylinder Volume = Volume of External Cylinder - Volume of Internal Cylinder= πR²h – πr²h = π (R² – r²) h

  • Internal Surface Area + External Surface Area (Hollow Cylinder)= 2πRh + 2πrh = 2π(R+r)h

  • A Total Surface Area (Cylinder) = A lateral surface area = A base surface area= 2π(R+r)h + 2π (R² – r²) h

Cone

The cone, as a solid three-dimensional figure, comprises a flat circle with a smooth taper to a point known as the vertex or apex. It is formed by a line with one point fixed (apex) and another fixed (base). 

  • Total cone surface area = πr2 + πrl = πr (r + l).

  • A cone's volume is πr2h3

Sphere

Spheres are solid round three-dimensional figures with every point on their surfaces equidistant from their center. A sphere is best illustrated by footballs, basketballs, etc. A sphere is bifurcated into two equal parts by great circles.

  • The surface of a sphere is equal to 4πr2

  • A sphere has a volume equal to 4/ 3πr3

FAQs on ICSE Class 10 Mathematics Revision Notes Chapter 20 - Cylinder, Cone and Sphere

1. According to concepts taught in chapter 20 of ICSE Class 10 Maths, solve this:A circular cylinder has a height of 20 cm and a radius of 7 cm. (i) Calculate the volume  and (ii)surface area 

To attempt this type of question, you need to make sure that you know each and every formula and also have an idea of how to and where to apply the formula. 


For Instance, For a Given Question The Formula Can Be Applied As: 

  • Considering a circular cylinder of height h = 20 cm and radius r = 7 cm (i) Volume of cylinder = r2h = 22/7 x 72 x 20 cm3= 3080 cm3

  • The area of a cylinder is equal to 2πr (h + r)= 2 x 22/7 x 7(20 + 7) cm2= 2 x 22 x 27 cm3= 1188 cm3

2. According to concepts taught in chapter 20 of ICSE Class 10 Maths, to cast a hollow cylinder of external diameter 20 cm, 0.25 cm thick and 15 cm long from a solid cylinder of diameter 2 cm, how much length must be added?

Since the external diameter of the hollow cylinder is 20 cm,

There is a radius of 10 cm equal to R.

The thickness is 0.25 cm.

Therefore, the internal radius = (10 – 0.25 = 9.75 cm = r)

The length of the cylinder (h) is 15 cm

Now,

Volume = πh (R2 – r2) = π x 15(102 – 9.752) = 15 π (100 – 95.0625)

= 15 π x 4.9375 cm3

Now,

Solid cylindrical diameter = 2 cm

Therefore, radius (r) = 1 cm, length (h) = 1 cm and volume (V) = πr2h = πh cm3

Accordingly, based on the condition given in the question

πh = 15 π x 4.9375

h = 15 x 4.9375

h = 74.0625

Therefore, the length of the solid cylinder is 74.0625 cm

3. According to concepts taught in chapter 20 of ICSE Class 10 Maths, solve the following:

A cylindrical shape has a diameter of 20 cm. Its radius is 100 sq cm. 

Find:

  • The cylinder dimensions are correct to one decimal place. 

  • The volume is also correct to one decimal place.

Given,

The cylinder's diameter is 20 cm

So, the radius (r) = 10 cm

surface area = 100 cm2

Height = h cm


(i) Curved surface area = 2πrh

So,

2πrh = 100 cm2

2 x 22/7 x 10 x h = 100

h = (100 x 7)/ (22 x 10 x 2) = 35/22

h = 1.6 cm


(ii) Volume of the cylinder = πr2h

= 22/7 x 10 x 10 x 1.6

= 502.9 cm3
