Exploring Volume and Surface Area of 3D Shapes

Mr. Kilala introduces the geometry standards for eighth grade, focusing on volume and surface area calculations for cylinders, cones, and spheres. The video covers the surface area of cylinders, volume and surface area of cones, and volume and surface area of spheres, providing formulas and examples for each. Emphasis is placed on understanding the formulas and applying them correctly, with a tip to multiply by pi at the end for accuracy.

What shapes are covered in the eighth grade geometry standards?

• Cubes and cuboids

• Cylinders, cones, and spheres

• Pyramids and prisms

• Triangles and rectangles

Why is the surface area formula for a cone not listed on the MCATs reference sheet?

• It is not part of the curriculum

• It is too simple

• The height from the base to the tip

• The radius of the base circle

• The diameter of the base circle
