FORMULA SHEET Volume and Surface Area Formulas Your complete reference for the volume and surface area of common 3D shapes. Volume tells you how much space is inside (capacity). Surface area tells you how much material covers the outside. Pointed shapes (cones, pyramids) carry the factor. Given a diameter? Convert to radius first: . Lateral surface = the side surface only (excludes the bases). Total surface area = lateral surface + base(s).
