12 multiple-choice questions, progressively harder.
A box is 777 cm long, 444 cm wide, and 555 cm high. What is its volume?
Solution
Correct answer: A
Multiply the three dimensions.
V=7×4×5=140 cm3V = 7 \times 4 \times 5 = 140 \text{ cm}^3V=7×4×5=140 cm3
Volume is in cubic centimetres.
A cube has an edge of 555 cm. What is its volume?
Correct answer: B
Cube the edge length.
V=s3=53=5×5×5=125 cm3V = s^3 = 5^3 = 5 \times 5 \times 5 = 125 \text{ cm}^3V=s3=53=5×5×5=125 cm3
A triangular prism has a triangular base of area 9 cm29 \text{ cm}^29 cm2 and a length of 888 cm. What is its volume?
For any prism, volume is base area times height (here the length).
V=B×h=9×8=72 cm3V = B \times h = 9 \times 8 = 72 \text{ cm}^3V=B×h=9×8=72 cm3
A box is 555 cm long, 444 cm wide, and 222 cm high. What is its surface area?
Correct answer: D
Find one face of each kind, then double the total.
lw=5×4=20,lh=5×2=10,wh=4×2=8lw = 5 \times 4 = 20, \quad lh = 5 \times 2 = 10, \quad wh = 4 \times 2 = 8lw=5×4=20,lh=5×2=10,wh=4×2=8
S=2(20+10+8)=2×38=76 cm2S = 2(20 + 10 + 8) = 2 \times 38 = 76 \text{ cm}^2S=2(20+10+8)=2×38=76 cm2
A cube has a volume of 8 cm38 \text{ cm}^38 cm3. What is its surface area?
First find the edge from the volume.
s3=8 ⇒ s=2 cms^3 = 8 \;\Rightarrow\; s = 2 \text{ cm}s3=8⇒s=2 cm
Then the surface area is 6s26s^26s2.
S=6×22=6×4=24 cm2S = 6 \times 2^2 = 6 \times 4 = 24 \text{ cm}^2S=6×22=6×4=24 cm2
Find the volume of the rectangular box shown.
Correct answer: C
Read the dimensions 666 cm, 555 cm, and 444 cm from the figure and multiply.
V=6×5×4=120 cm3V = 6 \times 5 \times 4 = 120 \text{ cm}^3V=6×5×4=120 cm3
A cylinder has radius 222 m and height 777 m. What is its volume? Use π≈3.14\pi \approx 3.14π≈3.14.
Use V=πr2hV = \pi r^2 hV=πr2h. Square the radius.
r2=22=4r^2 = 2^2 = 4r2=22=4
V=3.14×4×7=87.92 m3V = 3.14 \times 4 \times 7 = 87.92 \text{ m}^3V=3.14×4×7=87.92 m3
A box has a square base 333 cm by 333 cm and a height of 101010 cm. What is its volume?
The base area is 3×3=9 cm23 \times 3 = 9 \text{ cm}^23×3=9 cm2. Multiply by the height.
V=9×10=90 cm3V = 9 \times 10 = 90 \text{ cm}^3V=9×10=90 cm3
A cylinder has diameter 666 cm and height 555 cm. What is its volume? Use π≈3.14\pi \approx 3.14π≈3.14. (Remember to use the radius.)
The diameter is given, so halve it to get the radius.
r=62=3 cmr = \frac{6}{2} = 3 \text{ cm}r=26=3 cm
Then V=πr2hV = \pi r^2 hV=πr2h.
V=3.14×32×5=3.14×9×5=141.3 cm3V = 3.14 \times 3^2 \times 5 = 3.14 \times 9 \times 5 = 141.3 \text{ cm}^3V=3.14×32×5=3.14×9×5=141.3 cm3
A box is 101010 cm by 222 cm by 222 cm. What is its surface area?
lw=10×2=20,lh=10×2=20,wh=2×2=4lw = 10 \times 2 = 20, \quad lh = 10 \times 2 = 20, \quad wh = 2 \times 2 = 4lw=10×2=20,lh=10×2=20,wh=2×2=4
S=2(20+20+4)=2×44=88 cm2S = 2(20 + 20 + 4) = 2 \times 44 = 88 \text{ cm}^2S=2(20+20+4)=2×44=88 cm2
The curved side of a cylinder unrolls into a rectangle. For a cylinder of radius 333 cm and height 888 cm, what is the width of that rectangle? Use π≈3.14\pi \approx 3.14π≈3.14.
The width of the unrolled side is the circumference of the circular end, C=2πrC = 2\pi rC=2πr.
C=2×3.14×3=18.84 cmC = 2 \times 3.14 \times 3 = 18.84 \text{ cm}C=2×3.14×3=18.84 cm
That is how far it is around the rim.
A swimming pool is a rectangular box 252525 m long, 101010 m wide, and 222 m deep. How much water does it hold when full?
Multiply length, width, and depth.
V=25×10×2=500 m3V = 25 \times 10 \times 2 = 500 \text{ m}^3V=25×10×2=500 m3
Volume is in cubic metres.
