Exam questions on Surface area and volume of 3D solids

  1. A closed cylindrical water tank has radius 0.80.8 m and height 1.51.5 m. Volume of a cylinder =πr2h=\pi r^2h. Curved surface area of a cylinder =2πrh=2\pi rh.
    Find the total outer surface area of the closed tank.2 marks
  2. A solid metal prism has a right-angled triangle as its cross-section, with perpendicular sides 66 cm and 88 cm and hypotenuse 1010 cm. The prism is 1515 cm long.
    Write the volume of the prism in mm3^3.2 marks
  3. A square-based pyramid has a base of side 1010 cm and a perpendicular height of 1212 cm. Each of its four triangular faces has a slant height of 1313 cm. Volume of a pyramid =13×base area×height=\frac13\times\text{base area}\times\text{height}.
    Find the volume of the pyramid. A cuboid box has the same base and the same height. What fraction of the box does the pyramid fill?3 marks
