CBSE Grade 9 | Math | Surface Areas and Volumes
Name: _________________________ Date: _________________________ Score: _______ / 40

The curved surface area of a cylinder is 2πrh and the volume of a sphere is (4/3)πr³, so this Class 9 sheet opens with the two curved-surface formulas. The answers add a cube's 6a² surface area and a cone's (1/3)πr²h volume.
