Specificities by Areas of Knowledge

Meanings

• Revolution Figure: Three-dimensional geometric shape obtained by rotating a planar line around an axis.
• Axis of Revolution: Straight line around which the rotation is performed.
• Complete Revolution: 360° turn around the axis.

Formulas

• Surface Area and Volume of the Cylinder:
  • Lateral area: ( A_{lat} = 2\pi rh )
  • Area of the bases: ( A_{base} = \pi r^2 )
  • Total area: ( A_{total} = 2\pi rh + 2\pi r^2 )
  • Volume: ( V = \pi r^2 h )
• Surface Area and Volume of the Cone:
  • Lateral area: ( A_{lat} = \pi rl )
  • Area of the base: ( A_{base} = \pi r^2 )
  • Total area: ( A_{total} = \pi rl + \pi r^2 )
  • Volume: ( V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h )
• Surface Area and Volume of the Sphere:
  • Area: ( A = 4\pi r^2 )
  • Volume: ( V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 )
• Pappus-Guldin Theorem:
  • Volume: ( V = A_x \cdot (2\pi R) )
    • Where ( A_x ) is the area of the planar figure that generates the solid of revolution and ( R ) is the distance from the centroid of the planar figure to the axis of revolution.

NOTES

• Key Terms

  • Revolution: Derived from the term "revolve" (to rotate around), in the context of spatial geometry, refers to the act of rotating a two-dimensional (planar) shape around a fixed axis to generate a three-dimensional shape.
  • Axis of Revolution: Axis around which the two-dimensional shape is rotated. It is fundamental in defining the shape of the generated solid.
  • Pappus-Guldin Theorem: It is a mathematical rule that relates a planar figure to its solid of revolution, connecting the area of the figure to the volume of the created solid.

• Main ideas and concepts

  • The concept of revolution figures is essential to understand how three-dimensional shapes are generated from two-dimensional shapes.
  • Surface areas and volumes are fundamental properties that define the extent and capacity of solids respectively.
  • The Pappus-Guldin Theorem offers a practical way to calculate the volume of a solid of revolution without the need for direct integration.

• Topic Contents

  • Calculation of Area and Volume of the Cylinder:
    • Step by step: Find the height (h) and radius (r); calculate the lateral and base areas; add them for the total area; for the volume, apply the volume formula.
  • Calculation of Area and Volume of the Cone:
    • Step by step: Determine the radius (r), height (h), and slant height (l); calculate the lateral and base areas; add them for the total area; apply the formula to find the volume.
  • Calculation of Area and Volume of the Sphere:
    • Step by step: Find the radius (r); use the area formula; for the volume, apply the specific sphere formula.
  • Application of the Pappus-Guldin Theorem:
    • To calculate the volume of a solid of revolution, determine the area of the planar figure and the distance from the centroid to the revolution axis, multiplying both by the factor (2\pi).

• Examples and Cases

  • Volume calculation of a cylinder
    • Example: For a cylinder with a radius of 3cm and height of 10cm, the volume will be ( V = \pi \times 3^2 \times 10 = 90\pi ) cm³.
  • Application of the Pappus-Guldin Theorem for a cone
    • Example: A cone with a base area of 10 cm² and centroid of the base 4 cm from the axis of revolution will have a volume ( V = 10 \times (2\pi \times 4) = 80\pi ) cm³.
  • Area calculation of a sphere
    • Example: For a sphere with a radius of 5cm, the area will be ( A = 4\pi \times 5^2 = 100\pi ) cm².
