Surface Area and Volukulele











I will be finding the surface area and volume of my homemade Cigar Box Ukulele.


SA: Box
Length: 21 cm
Height: 7
Width: 16cm


TA= (74 7) + (16 21) + (336 - 24)
TA Box = 1165 cm2


Base 1: 16x21
Base 2: 16x21 - (circles)


SA: Neck
Length: 27 cm
Height: 2 cm
Width: 3 cm


TA = (60 2) + 2(3 27)
TA Neck = 282 cm2


SA: Head
Length: 9 cm
Height: 1 cm
Width: 6 cm


TA = (30 1) + 2(54)
TA Head = 138


SA of Nate's Ukulele = 1585 cm2


Volume of Body


21716 =
Volume = 2352cm3


Volume of Neck
27 2 3
Volume of Neck = 162cm3


Volume of Head
916
V = 54cm3


Total Volume of Nate’s Ukulele = 2568cm3


I will probably need to know the surface area and volume of my instrument because if i plan to sell them the measurements will be useful. Customers will be interested to know the measurements and scale of my instruments.
