Question a. Find the volume in litres of the following cylinder. ( 1L = 1000cm ). 15 cm 6 cm b. Calculate the surface area in cm. Click here to read the solution to this question
Solution to question a. Note that r 1 1 = d = 6 = cm 15 cm 6 cm V = area of base = πr h = π ( ) ( 15) = 15π = 44cm height b. Drawing the net r π r r h From the net we can see that the surface area is the sum of the area of the two circles and the rectangle. SA = πr + πrh ( ) π ( )( 5) = π + 1 = 18π + 90π = 108π = 9cm Click here to read the question again
Question 4 A solid cylinder of radius 5 cm and height 9 cm is melted down and recast into a solid cube. Find the side of the cube. Click here to read the solution to this question
Solution to question 4 9 cm 5 cm s The cylinder and the cube have the same volume. The volume of the cylinder is given = πr h = π ( 5) ( 9) = 5π cm Now the volume of the cylinder = the volume of the cube Let s be the length of the side of the cube The volume of the cube = s 5π = s s = 5π = 8.91cm Click here to read the question again
Question 5 a. Find the volume of the following cone, with radius 5 cm and vertical height 1 cm. 1 cm l 5 cm b. The cone has a slant height of l cm. Find the value of l. c. Find the curved surface area of the cone. Click here to read the solution to this question
Solution to question 5 1 cm l = Slant height 5 cm 1 a. The volume of a cone = πr h 1 = π 5 1 = 100π b. = 14cm ( ) ( ) 1 cm l By Pythagoras l = 5 + 1 l = 169 = 1cm 5 cm c. The curved surface area = πrl = π = 65π ( 5)( 1) = 04cm Click here to read the question again
