12 multiple-choice questions, progressively harder.
A regular square pyramid has base side 161616 cm and perpendicular height 151515 cm. Find its slant height.
Solution
Correct answer: C
The base apothem is half a side, or 888 cm.
A right cone has base radius 888 cm and perpendicular height 151515 cm. Find its closed total surface area.
Correct answer: A
The slant height is the hypotenuse.
Add the curved side and one base.
A sector with radius 141414 cm and angle 180∘180^\circ180∘ forms the curved side of a right cone without overlap. Find the cone's base radius.
Correct answer: D
Its arc is half of a radius-141414 circumference, or 14π14\pi14π cm. This must equal the base circumference.
A right cone has base radius 555 cm and slant height 181818 cm. What sector angle forms its curved side?
Correct answer: B
The needed arc occupies 5/185/185/18 of a full circle of radius 181818.
A regular square pyramid has lateral area 160 cm2160\text{ cm}^2160 cm2 and base side 101010 cm. Find its slant height.
The base perimeter is 404040 cm. Reverse the lateral-area relation.
A regular hexagonal pyramid has base side 444 cm and slant height 666 cm. Find its closed surface area exactly.
The base perimeter is 242424 cm. The base consists of six equilateral triangles of side 444 cm, each of area 434\sqrt343 square centimeters.
Add the base once to obtain (72+243)(72+24\sqrt3)(72+243) square centimeters.
A closed right cone has total area 96π cm296\pi\text{ cm}^296π cm2 and curved-side area 60π cm260\pi\text{ cm}^260π cm2. Find its radius.
Subtract the lateral area to leave one base disk.
An ideal right-conical canopy has rim diameter 888 m and perpendicular height 333 m. It includes the curved covering and no floor disk. Find the covering area.
The radius is half the diameter, or 444 m. Pythagoras gives slant height 555 m.
The opening contributes no disk.
A right cone has slant height 131313 cm and base radius 121212 cm. Find its perpendicular height.
The slant height is the hypotenuse, so subtract the radius-square.
A pyramid has a 666 cm by 888 cm rectangular base. Each face based on a 666 cm edge has altitude 555 cm, and each face based on an 888 cm edge has altitude 18\sqrt{18}18 cm. Find its lateral area.
There are two faces of each kind. Their altitudes differ, so first find the area of each pair.
Add the two pairs.
A sector of radius 101010 cm has selected arc length 12π12\pi12π cm. It forms a right cone's curved side without overlap. Find the perpendicular cone height.
The sector radius becomes slant height 101010 cm. The arc becomes circumference, so the base radius is 666 cm.
A regular square pyramid has base side 999 cm and slant height 7.57.57.5 cm. All four side faces are present but the square base is absent. Find the material area.
The covering includes the four triangles only.
Adding the 818181 square-centimeter square would include an excluded surface.
