To solve the problem of calculating the surface area and volume of each geometric shape, we will go through each shape step by step. Let's analyze each one:

---

1. Cube


#### Given:
- Side length \( a = 6 \) cm

#### Surface Area:
The surface area \( A \) of a cube is given by:
\[
A = 6a^2
\]
Substitute \( a = 6 \):
\[
A = 6 \times 6^2 = 6 \times 36 = 216 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

#### Volume:
The volume \( V \) of a cube is given by:
\[
V = a^3
\]
Substitute \( a = 6 \):
\[
V = 6^3 = 216 \, \text{cm}^3
\]

Results for Cube:
\[
\text{Surface Area} = 216 \, \text{cm}^2, \quad \text{Volume} = 216 \, \text{cm}^3
\]

---

2. Sphere


#### Given:
- Diameter \( d = 8 \) cm
- Radius \( r = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{8}{2} = 4 \) cm

#### Surface Area:
The surface area \( A \) of a sphere is given by:
\[
A = 4\pi r^2
\]
Substitute \( r = 4 \):
\[
A = 4\pi (4)^2 = 4\pi \times 16 = 64\pi \, \text{cm}^2
\]

#### Volume:
The volume \( V \) of a sphere is given by:
\[
V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3
\]
Substitute \( r = 4 \):
\[
V = \frac{4}{3}\pi (4)^3 = \frac{4}{3}\pi \times 64 = \frac{256}{3}\pi \, \text{cm}^3
\]

Results for Sphere:
\[
\text{Surface Area} = 64\pi \, \text{cm}^2, \quad \text{Volume} = \frac{256}{3}\pi \, \text{cm}^3
\]

---

3. Cylinder


#### Given:
- Radius \( r = 3 \) cm
- Height \( h = 7 \) cm

#### Surface Area:
The total surface area \( A \) of a cylinder is given by:
\[
A = 2\pi r(h + r)
\]
Substitute \( r = 3 \) and \( h = 7 \):
\[
A = 2\pi (3)(7 + 3) = 2\pi (3)(10) = 60\pi \, \text{cm}^2
\]

#### Volume:
The volume \( V \) of a cylinder is given by:
\[
V = \pi r^2 h
\]
Substitute \( r = 3 \) and \( h = 7 \):
\[
V = \pi (3)^2 (7) = \pi \times 9 \times 7 = 63\pi \, \text{cm}^3
\]

Results for Cylinder:
\[
\text{Surface Area} = 60\pi \, \text{cm}^2, \quad \text{Volume} = 63\pi \, \text{cm}^3
\]

4. Triangular Prism


#### Given:
- Base triangle sides: \( 5 \) cm, \( 5 \) cm, \( 6 \) cm
- Height of the prism \( h = 10 \) cm

#### Surface Area:
The surface area \( A \) of a triangular prism consists of:
1. The area of the two triangular bases.
2. The area of the three rectangular lateral faces.

##### Step 1: Area of one triangular base
The base is an isosceles triangle with sides \( 5 \), \( 5 \), and \( 6 \). We use Heron's formula to find the area.

- Semi-perimeter \( s \):
\[
s = \frac{5 + 5 + 6}{2} = 8 \, \text{cm}
\]

- Area \( A_{\text{triangle}} \):
\[
A_{\text{triangle}} = \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)} = \sqrt{8(8-5)(8-5)(8-6)} = \sqrt{8 \times 3 \times 3 \times 2} = \sqrt{144} = 12 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

##### Step 2: Area of the three rectangular lateral faces
- Two rectangles with dimensions \( 5 \times 10 \):
\[
\text{Area of each rectangle} = 5 \times 10 = 50 \, \text{cm}^2
\]
\[
\text{Total area of two rectangles} = 2 \times 50 = 100 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

- One rectangle with dimensions \( 6 \times 10 \):
\[
\text{Area of the rectangle} = 6 \times 10 = 60 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

##### Step 3: Total surface area
\[
A = 2 \times \text{Area of one triangular base} + \text{Area of the three rectangles}
\]
\[
A = 2 \times 12 + 100 + 60 = 24 + 100 + 60 = 184 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

#### Volume:
The volume \( V \) of a triangular prism is given by:
\[
V = \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height of the prism}
\]
Substitute the base area \( 12 \, \text{cm}^2 \) and height \( 10 \, \text{cm} \):
\[
V = 12 \times 10 = 120 \, \text{cm}^3
\]

Results for Triangular Prism:
\[
\text{Surface Area} = 184 \, \text{cm}^2, \quad \text{Volume} = 120 \, \text{cm}^3
\]

5. Rectangular Prism


#### Given:
- Length \( l = 8 \) cm
- Width \( w = 4 \) cm
- Height \( h = 5 \) cm

#### Surface Area:
The surface area \( A \) of a rectangular prism is given by:
\[
A = 2(lw + lh + wh)
\]
Substitute \( l = 8 \), \( w = 4 \), and \( h = 5 \):
\[
A = 2(8 \times 4 + 8 \times 5 + 4 \times 5) = 2(32 + 40 + 20) = 2 \times 92 = 184 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

#### Volume:
The volume \( V \) of a rectangular prism is given by:
\[
V = lwh
\]
Substitute \( l = 8 \), \( w = 4 \), and \( h = 5 \):
\[
V = 8 \times 4 \times 5 = 160 \, \text{cm}^3
\]

Results for Rectangular Prism:
\[
\text{Surface Area} = 184 \, \text{cm}^2, \quad \text{Volume} = 160 \, \text{cm}^3
\]

6. Square Pyramid


#### Given:
- Base side \( s = 6 \) cm
- Slant height \( l = 5 \) cm
- Height of the pyramid \( h = 4 \) cm

#### Surface Area:
The surface area \( A \) of a square pyramid consists of:
1. The area of the square base.
2. The area of the four triangular lateral faces.

##### Step 1: Area of the square base
\[
\text{Base Area} = s^2 = 6^2 = 36 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

##### Step 2: Area of one triangular face
Each triangular face is an isosceles triangle with base \( s = 6 \) cm and slant height \( l = 5 \) cm. The area of one triangular face is:
\[
\text{Area of one triangle} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{slant height} = \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 5 = 15 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

##### Step 3: Total area of the four triangular faces
\[
\text{Total area of four triangles} = 4 \times 15 = 60 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

##### Step 4: Total surface area
\[
A = \text{Base Area} + \text{Total area of four triangles}
\]
\[
A = 36 + 60 = 96 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

#### Volume:
The volume \( V \) of a pyramid is given by:
\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \times \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height}
\]
Substitute the base area \( 36 \, \text{cm}^2 \) and height \( 4 \, \text{cm} \):
\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \times 36 \times 4 = \frac{1}{3} \times 144 = 48 \, \text{cm}^3
\]

Results for Square Pyramid:
\[
\text{Surface Area} = 96 \, \text{cm}^2, \quad \text{Volume} = 48 \, \text{cm}^3
\]
