- Note 2: Rectangle may have one or two pairs of squares.
- Note 3: If All three pairs of faces of a rectangle are squares then it it becomes a Cube.
- Note 4: A cube is a special case of cuboid.
Edges
An edge is a line segment where the two surfaces of a cuboid meet.
There are 12 edges in a cuboid, where three edges meet at each vertex.
All edges form right angles with the adjacent edges and faces.
Vertices
A vertex is a point where the three edges meet. Vertices is the plural of vertex.
Cuboid has eight vertices.
Diagonals
Diagonal of a cuboid is a line segment that joins two opposite vertices.
The cuboid has four space diagonals.
Length of the diagonal of cuboid = √(length2 + breadth2 + height2) units.
Symmetry
Cuboids exhibit high symmetry.
They have rotational symmetry of order 4, meaning that you can rotate them by 90 degrees about their centre and they will look the same.
Features of a Cuboid
It is a three-dimensional, Rectangular figure.
It has 6 faces, 12 edges, and 8 vertices.
All 6 faces are rectangles.
Each vertex meets three faces and three edges.
The edges run parallel to those parallel to it.
All angles of a cuboid are right angles.
Mensuration of Cuboid
Surface Area of a Cuboid
The total surface area of a cuboid is defined as the area of its surface (Appearing face).
The Lateral Surface Area of a Cube.
Imagine yourself sitting in a cuboid shaped room. You can then see the four walls around you. This denotes the lateral surface area of that room.
That is, the lateral surface area of a cuboid shaped room is the area of its four walls, excluding the ceiling and the floor.
The lateral surface area of the cuboid is the sum of areas of its square faces, excluding the area of the top and the bottom face.
So the lateral surface area of a cube = sum of areas of 4 faces = (Length ✕ Height) + (Length ✕ Height) + (Length ✕ Height) + (Breadth ✕ Height) + (Breadth✕ Height)
Derivation of Total Surface Area of a Cuboid
Since the total surface area of a cuboid (TSA) is the area of its surface.
Total surface area of a cuboid = Lateral Surface Area + Area Of Bottom Surface + Area Of Top Surface
Total surface area of a cuboid = Area Of Front Surface + Area Of Back Surface + Area Of Left Srface + Area Of Right Surface + Area Of Bottom Surface + Area Of Top Surface
Total surface area of a cuboid = Lateral Surface Area 2[Area Of Bottom Surface]
Since Area Of Top Surface = + Area Of Bottom Surface We get, Total surface area of a cuboid = Lateral Surface Area + 2[Area Of Top Surface]
TSA = (Length ✕ Height) + (Length ✕ Height) + (Length ✕ Height) + (Breadth ✕ Height) + (Breadth✕ Height) + (Length ✕ Breadth) + (Length ✕ Breadth)
TSA = 2(Length ✕ Height) + 2(Breadth ✕ Height) + 2(Length ✕ Breadth)
TSA = 2[(Length ✕ Height) + (Breadth ✕ Height) + (Length ✕ Breadth)]
The Volume of a Cube
Volume
The volume of a three-dimensional object can be defined as the space required for it.
Similarly, Volume of a cuboid is defined as the space required for the cuboid or the Space occupied by the cuboid.
The volume of a cuboid can be calculated using the formula, V = lbh, where,
l = length, b = breadth or width, h = height
This formula shows that the volume of a cuboid is directly proportional to its length, breadth and height.
The volume is calculated by multiplying the object’s length, breadth, and height.
Hence the volume of the cube = lbh = lenth ✕ breadth ✕ height

Mensuration of Cube
Surface Area of a Cube
The total surface area of a cube is defined as the area of its outer surface.
Derivation of Total Surface Area of a Cube
Since the total surface area of a cube is the area of its outer surface.
total surface area of a cube = 6 ✕ area of one face.
We know that the cube has six square faces and each of the square faces is of the same size, the total surface area of a cube = 6 ✕ area of one face.
Let the length of each edge is “s”.
Area of one square face = length of edge ✕ length of edge
Area of one square face == s ✕ s = s²
Therefore, the total surface area of the cube = 6s²
The total surface area of the cube will be equal to the sum of all six faces of the cube.
The Lateral Surface Area of a Cube.
Imagine yourself sitting in a cube shaped room. You can then see the four walls around you. This denotes the lateral surface area of that room.
That is, the lateral surface area of a cube shaped room is the area of its four walls, excluding the ceiling and the floor.
The lateral surface area of the cube is the sum of areas of its square faces, excluding the area of the top and the bottom face.
So the lateral surface area of a cube = sum of areas of 4 faces = 4a²
The Volume of a Cube
Volume
The volume of a three-dimensional object can be defined as the space required for it.
Similarly, Volume of a cube is defined as the space required for the cube or the Space occupied by the cube.
The volume of a cube can be calculated using the formula V = s3, where “s” represents the length of one side of the cube.
This formula shows that the volume of a cube is directly proportional to the cube of its side length.
The volume is calculated by multiplying the object’s length, breadth, and height. In the case of a cube shape, the length, width, and height are all of the same length. Let us refer to it as “s”.
Hence the volume of the cube is s ✕ s ✕ s = s³

Cylinder is an important topic in Mathematics. It is a three-dimensional solid shape that has two parallel circular bases connected by a curved surface.
In this post, we will explore the properties of a cylinder and how to calculate its volume and surface area.
Let’s start with the basic definition of a right circular cylinder.
A cylinder is a solid shape that has two parallel circular bases of equal size and shape.
The curved surface that connects the two bases is called the lateral surface.
The axis of the cylinder is a line passing through the center of both bases.
Types Of Cylinders
(i). Solid Cylinder
(ii). Hollow Cylinder
Area Of A Solid Cylinder
Total Surface Area of Right Circular Cylinder = Curved Surface Area + Cicular Base Area + Circular Top Surface Area.
Since the Cicular Base Area And The Circular Top Surface Area of a cylinder are equal
Total Surface Area of Right Circular Cylinder = Curved Surface Area + 2(Cicular Top Surface Area)
Or
Total Surface Area of Right Circular Cylinder = Curved Surface Area + 2(Cicular Base Surface Area)
Therefore the formula to calculate the surface area of a cylinder is expressed as the following:
$$SA = 2\pi r h + 2\pi r^2$$
where SA is the surface area, r is the radius of the base, and h is the height of the cylinder.
Here, Curved Surface Area, $$CSA = 2\pi r h$$ and
Cicular Base Area = Top Surface Area = $$\pi r^2$$
Volume Of A Solid Cylinder
The formula to calculate the volume of a cylinder is given by:
$$V = \pi r^2 h$$
where V is the volume, r is the radius of the base, and h is the height of the cylinder.
Now let’s take an example to understand how to use these formulas. Suppose we have a cylinder with a radius of 4 cm and a height of 10 cm. To calculate its volume, we can use the formula:
$$V = \pi (4)^2 (10) = 160\pi$$
Therefore, the volume of the cylinder is 160π cubic cm.
To calculate its surface area, we can use the formula:
$$SA = 2\pi (4) (10) + 2\pi (4)^2 = 120\pi$$
Therefore, the surface area of the cylinder is 120π square cm.
In conclusion, understanding the properties of a cylinder and how to calculate its volume and surface area is important in CBSE Class 10 Mathematics. By using the formulas mentioned above, you can easily solve problems related to cylinders.
Hollow Cylinder
A hollow cylinder is a three-dimensional object with a circular base and a cylindrical shape. It is also known as a cylindrical shell. The cylinder has two circular faces and a curved surface. The thickness of the cylinder is uniform and it is hollow from inside.
Volume Of A Hollow Cylinder
The volume of a hollow cylinder can be calculated using the formula V = πh(R2-r2), where h is the height of the cylinder, R is the radius of the outer circle, and r is the radius of the inner circle.
Surface Area Of A Hollow Cylinder
The surface area of a hollow cylinder can be calculated using the formula A = 2πh(R+r), where h is the height of the cylinder, R is the radius of the outer circle, and r is the radius of the inner circle.
Hollow cylinders are used in various applications such as pipes, drums, and containers. They are also used in engineering structures such as bridges and towers.
In conclusion, a hollow cylinder is a useful shape in various fields and can be easily calculated using mathematical equations.
