Surface Area Formulas

About Surface Area Formulas

The surface area formula is a mathematical formula for calculating the total area of any three-dimensional object that all of its surfaces occupy. Let's take a closer look at the surface area calculations for various 3-D designs.The total of all the surface areas of any three-dimensional object is calculated using the surface area formula. The surface area formula is divided into two groups: Check out the List of Maths Formulas.

Curved surface area formula or Lateral surface area formula
Total surface area formula

Name of the Solid	Figure	Lateral/Curved Surface Area	Total Surface Area	Nomenclature
Cube		4a²	6a²	a : side of cube
Cuboid		2h(l + b)	2(lb + bh + hl)	l : length b : breadth h : height
Cone		πrl	πr(l + r)	r : radius of base l : slant height h : height
Cylinder		2πrh	2πr(r + h)	r : radius of base h : height
Sphere		4πr²	4πr²	r : radius
Hemisphere		2πr²	3πr²	r : radius
Prism		Perimeter of base x height	Lateral Surface area +(area of the base)	-
Pyramid		1/2(Perimeter of base) x slant height	Lateral Surface area +(area of the base)	-
