Mathematical Formulae - GCSE Maths

The following formulae will be provided for students within the relevant examination questions.

Perimeter, area, surface area and volume formulae

Where rr is the radius of the sphere or cone, ll is the slant height of a cone and hh is the perpendicular height of a cone:

Formulae Provided in the Exam

Curved surface area of a cone
Curved surface area of a cone=πrl\text{Curved surface area of a cone} = \pi r l
Surface area of a sphere
Surface area of a sphere=4πr2\text{Surface area of a sphere} = 4\pi r^2
Volume of a sphere
Volume of a sphere=43πr3\text{Volume of a sphere} = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3
Volume of a cone
Volume of a cone=13πr2h\text{Volume of a cone} = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h
