Volume and Surface Area Concepts

This video tutorial covers the differences between volume and surface area, providing examples and calculations for each. It includes exercises on calculating the surface area of a heart-shaped box and the volume of a wheelbarrow. The tutorial also addresses finding the surface area of a tray after concrete is removed and concludes with homework problems to reinforce the concepts.

What is the main difference between volume and surface area?

• Volume measures the color of an object, while surface area measures its texture.

• Volume measures the length of an object, while surface area measures its width.

• Volume measures the weight of an object, while surface area measures its height.

• Volume measures the space inside an object, while surface area measures the space around it.

How do you calculate the surface area of a heart-shaped box?

• By multiplying the base area by the height.

• By adding the base areas and the product of the perimeter and height.

• By adding the volume and the perimeter.

• By subtracting the height from the perimeter.

What additional information is needed to calculate the perimeter of the heart-shaped box?

• The material of the box.

• The weight of the box.

• The length of the diagonal lines.

• The color of the box.

What is the formula for calculating the volume of the wheelbarrow?

• Base area divided by height.

• Base area multiplied by height.

• Perimeter multiplied by height.

• Base area plus perimeter.

What is the first step in calculating the surface area of the tray after dumping the concrete?

• Adding the base areas.

• Removing the top surface area.

• Calculating the perimeter of the tray.

• Finding the volume of the tray.

How do you calculate the surface area of a prism if the height is doubled?

• Add the base area to the perimeter times the new height.

• Multiply the original surface area by two.

• Divide the original surface area by two.

• Subtract the original height from the new height.

What is the percentage increase in surface area when the height of a prism is doubled?

• 50%

• 67%

• 100%

• 150%

What is the percentage increase in volume when the height of a prism is doubled?

• 100%

• 50%

• 150%

• 67%

Which situation would require knowing the volume rather than the surface area?

• Wrapping a gift with paper.

• Filling an aquarium with water.

• Calculating the area of a race car's ad space.

• Determining the amount of paint needed for a barn.

How do you find the percentage of the flag that is gold?

• By subtracting the area of the gold disc from the area of the flag.

• By dividing the area of the gold disc by the area of the flag.

• By multiplying the area of the gold disc by the area of the flag.

• By calculating the perimeter of the flag.
