  7. 7
    A metal water tank is a cylinder of radius 0.5 m and height 2 m, open at the top. Use pi = 3.14 throughout.
    (a)
    Calculate the volume of the tank, giving your answer to 2 significant figures.
    [3 marks]
    (b)
    Calculate the total surface area of the tank (the curved surface and the base only, since it is open at the top), giving your answer to 2 significant figures.

    A skate park is building a ramp base with a compound shape: a rectangle measuring 10 m by 6 m, with a quarter-circle of radius 6 m attached to one of the 6 m ends. The quarter-circle's arc forms the boundary of the shape in place of that end, and its two straight radii lie along the two 10 m sides of the rectangle. Use pi = 3.14 throughout.
    (a)
    Calculate the area of the compound shape, giving your answer to the nearest m^2.
    [4 marks]
    (b)
    Calculate the perimeter of the compound shape, giving your answer to the nearest metre.
    [4 marks]
    (c)
    The ramp is to be edged with a safety strip costing $12 per metre along the straight sides found in part (b), and $17 per metre along the arc (the standard rate plus a $5 per metre surcharge for the curved section). Calculate the total cost of edging the whole ramp.
