Chapter 11.1

Area of compound shapes

Break down complex shapes into rectangles and triangles; calculate total area systematically.

40 minStart
Chapter 11.2

Perimeter of compound shapes

Find total perimeter of shapes combining straight edges; handle missing dimensions.

Chapter 11.3

Arc length and sector area

Use radian and degree measures; apply sector and segment formulas efficiently.

45 minStart
Chapter 11.4

Surface area of pyramids

Find base and triangular face areas; use Pythagoras for slant height when needed.

40 minStart
Chapter 11.5

Surface area of cones

Calculate base and lateral surface areas; relate to sector area of unrolled net.

45 minStart
Chapter 11.6

Surface area of spheres

Apply the formula 4πr²; solve for radius given surface area.

35 minStart
Chapter 11.7

Volume of pyramids

Use V = (1/3) × base area × height; distinguish height from slant edge.

40 minStart
Chapter 11.8

Volume of cones

Apply V = (1/3)πr²h; relate to cylinder volume ratio.

40 minStart
Chapter 11.9

Volume of spheres

Use V = (4/3)πr³; solve for radius or diameter given volume.

40 minStart
Chapter 11.10

Frustums

Calculate volume and surface area of cone/pyramid frustums via subtraction.

45 minStart
Chapter 11.11

Compound 3D shapes

Decompose complex solids; combine volumes or surface areas of component shapes.

45 minStart
Chapter 11.12

Area and volume problem-solving

Apply all techniques to real-world and GCSE exam contexts; optimise design scenarios.
