Surface Area of Combinations of Solids
The total surface area (TSA) of a combination of solids refers to the sum of the surface areas of all the individual solids involved. The formula for calculating the TSA depends on the specific combination of solids.
If you have a combination of different solids (e.g., cylinder, sphere, cube), you would calculate the surface area of each solid individually using its respective formula, and then sum up all these individual surface areas to find the total surface area.
Surface Area of a Combination of Solids
All of us who study the chapters on surface area calculation have at least once wondered how to find the surface area of everyday objects like pencils, buckets, earthen pots and medicine capsules, isn’t it? Well, it isn’t as difficult as it seems- because these objects can be simplified as a combination of simple solid shapes. By the end of this article, you will thoroughly understand how to find the surface area of a combination of solids, right from the basics.
