Unit 7 lesson 2 cylinders and cones
Lesson Overview:
In this lesson, we will focus on understanding the properties and formulas associated with cylinders and cones. We will learn how to calculate the volume and surface area of both geometric shapes. Furthermore, we will explore real-world applications of cylinders and cones.
Key Concepts:
1. Cylinders:
- A cylinder is a three-dimensional shape with two parallel circular bases.
- The bases are congruent and lie in parallel planes.
- The lateral surface of a cylinder is curved and connects the two bases.
- The height of a cylinder is the perpendicular distance between the two bases.
- The radius (r) of a cylinder is the distance from the center of the base to the edge.
- The diameter (d) of a cylinder is twice the radius.
- The lateral surface area of a cylinder is given by the formula: LSA = 2πrh, where r is the radius and h is the height.
- The total surface area of a cylinder is given by the formula: TSA = 2πrh + 2πr^2.
2. Cones:
- A cone is a three-dimensional shape with a circular base and a single vertex.
- The base and vertex lie in the same plane, and the lateral surface is curved.
- The height of a cone is the distance between the vertex and the center of the base.
- The radius (r) of a cone is the distance from the center of the base to the edge.
- The slant height (l) of a cone is the distance from the vertex to any point on the circumference of the base.
- The lateral surface area of a cone is given by the formula: LSA = πrl, where r is the radius and l is the slant height.
- The total surface area of a cone is given by the formula: TSA = πrl + πr^2.
Applications:
1. Cylinders:
- Cylinders are commonly used in the construction of buildings and infrastructure like bridges and tunnels.
- They are also widely used in manufacturing processes, such as cylindrical containers for storing liquids or gases.
2. Cones:
- Cones are commonly found in everyday objects, such as traffic cones and ice cream cones.
- They are also used in various industries, such as the production of cones for loudspeakers and automotive parts.

1. Applying the formulas for the volume and surface area of cylinders and cones.
2. Using variables and expressions to represent unknowns in calculations.
3. Solving word problems involving cylinders and cones.
4. Making connections between mathematical concepts and real-world applications.
