12 multiple-choice questions, progressively harder.
A cylinder has radius 666 cm and height 555 cm. What is its volume? Use π≈3.14\pi \approx 3.14π≈3.14.
Solution
Correct answer: A
Use V=πr2hV = \pi r^2 hV=πr2h. Square the radius first.
r2=62=36r^2 = 6^2 = 36r2=62=36
V=3.14×36×5=565.2 cm3V = 3.14 \times 36 \times 5 = 565.2 \text{ cm}^3V=3.14×36×5=565.2 cm3
A box 888 cm by 333 cm by 333 cm has a surface area of how many square centimetres?
Correct answer: C
Find one face of each kind, then double the total.
lw=8×3=24,lh=8×3=24,wh=3×3=9lw = 8 \times 3 = 24, \quad lh = 8 \times 3 = 24, \quad wh = 3 \times 3 = 9lw=8×3=24,lh=8×3=24,wh=3×3=9
S=2(24+24+9)=2×57=114 cm2S = 2(24 + 24 + 9) = 2 \times 57 = 114 \text{ cm}^2S=2(24+24+9)=2×57=114 cm2
A triangular prism has a triangular end with base 888 m and perpendicular height 333 m, and a length of 666 m. What is its volume?
Find the triangular base area first.
B=12×8×3=12 m2B = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 3 = 12 \text{ m}^2B=21×8×3=12 m2
Then multiply by the length.
V=12×6=72 m3V = 12 \times 6 = 72 \text{ m}^3V=12×6=72 m3
A cylinder has a base area of 50 cm250 \text{ cm}^250 cm2 and a volume of 350 cm3350 \text{ cm}^3350 cm3. What is its height?
Correct answer: B
Volume is base area times height, so divide.
h=Vbase area=35050=7 cmh = \frac{V}{\text{base area}} = \frac{350}{50} = 7 \text{ cm}h=base areaV=50350=7 cm
A solid brick is a 333 cm cube. Eight identical bricks are stacked into a single 666 cm cube. What is the total volume?
The big cube has edge 666 cm, so cube it.
V=63=216 cm3V = 6^3 = 216 \text{ cm}^3V=63=216 cm3
Check against the pieces: each small cube is 33=27 cm33^3 = 27 \text{ cm}^333=27 cm3, and 8×27=216 cm38 \times 27 = 216 \text{ cm}^38×27=216 cm3, the same total.
A box has volume 84 cm384 \text{ cm}^384 cm3, length 777 cm, and width 444 cm. What is its height?
Divide the volume by the base area.
base area=7×4=28 cm2\text{base area} = 7 \times 4 = 28 \text{ cm}^2base area=7×4=28 cm2
h=8428=3 cmh = \frac{84}{28} = 3 \text{ cm}h=2884=3 cm
Find the volume of the rectangular box shown.
Read the dimensions 777 cm, 555 cm, and 666 cm and multiply.
V=7×5×6=210 cm3V = 7 \times 5 \times 6 = 210 \text{ cm}^3V=7×5×6=210 cm3
A cylinder has radius 555 cm and height 101010 cm. What is its total surface area? Use π≈3.14\pi \approx 3.14π≈3.14.
Correct answer: D
Add both circular ends and the rolled-out side.
2πr2=2×3.14×25=157 cm22\pi r^2 = 2 \times 3.14 \times 25 = 157 \text{ cm}^22πr2=2×3.14×25=157 cm2
2πrh=2×3.14×5×10=314 cm22\pi r h = 2 \times 3.14 \times 5 \times 10 = 314 \text{ cm}^22πrh=2×3.14×5×10=314 cm2
S=157+314=471 cm2S = 157 + 314 = 471 \text{ cm}^2S=157+314=471 cm2
A box has square base of side sss and height h=5h = 5h=5 cm. Its volume is 80 cm380 \text{ cm}^380 cm3. What is sss?
The base area is s2s^2s2 and volume is base area times height.
s2×5=80 ⇒ s2=16 ⇒ s=4 cms^2 \times 5 = 80 \;\Rightarrow\; s^2 = 16 \;\Rightarrow\; s = 4 \text{ cm}s2×5=80⇒s2=16⇒s=4 cm
Find the surface area of the cube shown.
Each edge is 777 cm, and a cube has 666 square faces of area s2s^2s2.
S=6s2=6×72=6×49=294 cm2S = 6s^2 = 6 \times 7^2 = 6 \times 49 = 294 \text{ cm}^2S=6s2=6×72=6×49=294 cm2
A cylinder of radius 222 cm and height 999 cm is melted and recast as a cube of the same volume. What is the cube's volume? Use π≈3.14\pi \approx 3.14π≈3.14.
Recasting keeps the volume the same, so just find the cylinder's volume.
V=πr2h=3.14×22×9=3.14×4×9=113.04 cm3V = \pi r^2 h = 3.14 \times 2^2 \times 9 = 3.14 \times 4 \times 9 = 113.04 \text{ cm}^3V=πr2h=3.14×22×9=3.14×4×9=113.04 cm3
The cube has the same 113.04 cm3113.04 \text{ cm}^3113.04 cm3 of material.
A rectangular box and a cylinder have the same height. The box's base area is 40 cm240 \text{ cm}^240 cm2 and the cylinder's base area is 40 cm240 \text{ cm}^240 cm2 as well. What can you conclude about their volumes?
Both volumes are base area times height, and both the base area and the height match.
V=(base area)×hV = (\text{base area}) \times hV=(base area)×h
Same base area and same height give the same volume, whatever the base shape. The shape of the base does not matter once its area is fixed.
