GMAT: Rectangular Solids & Cylinders Quiz
Quiz Overview
Description
When considering rectangular solids and cylinders there are several important facts that will assist in answering the majority of the GMAT questions related to these topics.
Rectangular solid
V = lwh
SA = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
D2 = l2 + w2 + h2 (Center diagonal)
Cube
V = s3
SA = 6s3
Cylinder
V= πr2h
SA = 2πr2 + 2πrh
While there are not likely to be a large number of questions on the GMAT related to these two topics understanding the interaction between the formulas for Volume and surface area will assist in answering a vast majority of questions - many of which will be data sufficiency questions.
