This is part of our
GRE Math Essentials project & GRE Math Essentials - A most comprehensive handout!!! that are the best complement to our
GRE Math Book. It provides a cutting-edge, in-depth overview of all the math concepts from basic to mid-upper levels. The book still remains our hallmark: from basic to the most advanced GRE math concepts tested during the exam. Moreover, the following chapters will give you many tips, tricks, and shortcuts to make your quant preparation more robust and solid.
SOLIDSCubeA six–faced solid figure with all faces equal and adjacent faces mutually perpendicular is a cube.
If “a” be the edge of a cube,
1. The longest diagonal \(= a\sqrt{3}\) The face diagonal \(= a\sqrt{2}\)
2. Volume \(= a^3\)
3. Total surface area \(= 6 a^2\)
CUBOID or RECTANGULAR BOXIf a,b,c are the edges of a box,
1. The longest diagonal \(= \sqrt{(a^2 + b^2 + c^2)}\)
2. Surface area \(= 2 (ab + bc + ac)\)
3. Volume \(= abc\)
RIGHT CIRCULAR CYLINDERIf r is the radius of base and h is the height, then

1. Volume = \(\pi r^2 h\)
2. Curved surface area \(= 2 \pi rh\)
3. Total surface area \(= 2 \pi r (r + h)\)
4. If a rectangle of length L and breadth B is rotated about its length to form a cylinder, then \(L = 2 \pi R\) and \(B = h\).
5. If a rectangle of length L and breadth B is rotated about its breadth to form a cylinder, then \(B = 2 \pi R\) and \(L = h\)
RIGHT CIRCULAR CONER = radius of base
H = Height
L = slant height \(= \sqrt{(H^2 + R^2)}\)
1. Volume \(= \frac{1}{3} \times (\pi R^2H)\)
2. Curved surface Area \(= \pi R L\)
3. Total Surface Area \(= \pi R (R + L)\)
SPHERER = Radius
1. Volume \(= \frac{4}{3} \times \pi R^3\)
2. Surface Area \(= 4 \pi R^2\)
