How to calculate the Volume and Surface Area of a Sphere, Pyramid and Cone

In this section I will explain to you how to find the volume and surface area of: Spheres, Cones and Pyramids. We do not have to remember the formulas which calculate the area and surface area of spheres, pyramids and cones. It is however important to understand the formulas and be able to comfortably rearrange them. So please check all the example questions below for then you will understand the formulas and be able to use them on your maths exam. Do you see any examples of spheres, pyramids and cones on this page?

How to calculate the Volume and Surface Area of Pyramids

You will first learn about pyramids and how to calculate their volume and surface area. Make sure to study all videos during your maths revision for something new will be discussed in each of them.

In the next video I will continue to explain to you how to calculate the volume and surface area of pyramids. The best way to learn and understand maths is by solving example question. So please check both maths activities below for I explain different types of questions you can get on your IGCSE GCSE maths exam. Let me know if you need more help with your maths!
