Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Geometry - Volume and Surface Area - Volume of Pyramids Cones and ...
Let’s solve each problem one by one. We’ll use the correct volume formulas and round to 2 decimal places when needed.

---

Formulas we need:

- Pyramid (square or rectangular base):
Volume = (1/3) × Base Area × Height
For square base: Base Area = side × side
For rectangular base: Base Area = length × width

- Cone:
Volume = (1/3) × π × r² × h

- Sphere:
Volume = (4/3) × π × r³

- Hemisphere (half a sphere):
Volume = (2/3) × π × r³

We’ll use π ≈ 3.1416 for calculations.

Problem 1: Square Pyramid


Base = 4 cm × 4 cm, Height = 9 cm
Volume = (1/3) × (4×4) × 9 = (1/3) × 16 × 9 = 48 cm³
48.00

Problem 2: Rectangular Pyramid


Base = 12 cm × 6 cm, Height = 15 cm
Volume = (1/3) × (12×6) × 15 = (1/3) × 72 × 15 = 360 cm³
360.00

Problem 3: Rectangular Pyramid


Base = 5 cm × 7 cm, Height = 20 cm
Volume = (1/3) × (5×7) × 20 = (1/3) × 35 × 20 ≈ 233.333... → 233.33

Problem 4: Composite Shape — Pyramid on top of Cube? Wait — actually, it's a pyramid with a rectangular base inside a box? Let’s look again.



Actually, looking at diagram 4: It shows a pyramid with a rectangular base (3 cm × 3 cm) and height 7 cm, but there’s also a cube below? No — wait, the dashed lines suggest the full height is 7 cm, and the base is 3 cm × 3 cm. The “2 cm” might be misleading — actually, re-examining: the figure is a pyramid with base 3 cm × 3 cm and total height 7 cm. The “2 cm” is probably part of the internal structure, but since the apex is 7 cm above the base, we use height = 7 cm.

So: Volume = (1/3) × (3×3) × 7 = (1/3) × 9 × 7 = 21 cm³
21.00

*(Note: If the 2 cm was meant to be something else, but based on standard interpretation, height from base to apex is 7 cm.)*

---

Problem 5: Cone


Radius = 3 cm, Height = 9 cm
Volume = (1/3) × π × 3² × 9 = (1/3) × π × 9 × 9 = 27π ≈ 27 × 3.1416 ≈ 84.8232 → 84.82

Problem 6: Cone


Radius = 1.5 cm, Height = 7 cm
Volume = (1/3) × π × (1.5)² × 7 = (1/3) × π × 2.25 × 7 = (1/3) × 15.75 × π = 5.25π ≈ 5.25 × 3.1416 ≈ 16.4934 → 16.49

Problem 7: Cone


Diameter = 20 cm → Radius = 10 cm, Height = 24 cm
Volume = (1/3) × π × 10² × 24 = (1/3) × π × 100 × 24 = 800π ≈ 800 × 3.1416 ≈ 2513.28 → 2513.28

Problem 8: Cone (inverted)


Given: Slant height? Wait — no, they give vertical height? Actually, diagram shows:

It says 7.7 mm (vertical height?), 8.5 mm (slant?), and diameter 7.2 mm → radius = 3.6 mm.

But in cone volume, we need perpendicular height. The 7.7 mm is labeled as vertical (from apex to center of base), so that’s the height.

So: r = 3.6 mm, h = 7.7 mm
Volume = (1/3) × π × (3.6)² × 7.7
First, 3.6² = 12.96
Then, 12.96 × 7.7 = 99.792
Then, (1/3) × 99.792 = 33.264
Then, 33.264 × π ≈ 33.264 × 3.1416 ≈ 104.50 → 104.50

*(Check: 33.264 * 3.1416 = let’s compute: 33 * 3.1416 = 103.6728, 0.264*3.1416≈0.829, total ≈104.50 — yes)*

Problem 9: Sphere


Diameter = 10 cm → Radius = 5 cm
Volume = (4/3) × π × 5³ = (4/3) × π × 125 = (500/3)π ≈ 166.6667 × 3.1416 ≈ 523.60 → 523.60

Problem 10: Sphere


Radius = 2 cm
Volume = (4/3) × π × 8 = (32/3)π ≈ 10.6667 × 3.1416 ≈ 33.51 → 33.51

Problem 11: Sphere


Diameter = 22 cm → Radius = 11 cm
Volume = (4/3) × π × 11³ = (4/3) × π × 1331 = (5324/3)π ≈ 1774.6667 × 3.1416 ≈ 5575.28 → 5575.28

*(Calculation: 1774.6667 * 3.1416 ≈ let’s do 1774.6667 * 3 = 5324, 1774.6667 * 0.1416 ≈ 251.28, total ≈ 5575.28 — correct)*

Problem 12: Sphere


Diameter = 17 mm → Radius = 8.5 mm
Volume = (4/3) × π × (8.5)³
8.5³ = 8.5 × 8.5 = 72.25; 72.25 × 8.5 = 614.125
Then, (4/3) × 614.125 = (2456.5)/3 ≈ 818.8333
Then, 818.8333 × π ≈ 818.8333 × 3.1416 ≈ 2572.47 → 2572.47

*(Check: 818.8333 * 3.1416 ≈ 800*3.1416=2513.28, 18.8333*3.1416≈59.19, total≈2572.47 — good)*

Problem 13: Hemisphere


Diameter = 7 cm → Radius = 3.5 cm
Volume = (2/3) × π × (3.5)³
3.5³ = 42.875
(2/3) × 42.875 = 85.75 / 3 ≈ 28.5833
28.5833 × π ≈ 28.5833 × 3.1416 ≈ 89.80 → 89.80

Problem 14: Hemisphere


Diameter = 8.4 cm → Radius = 4.2 cm
Volume = (2/3) × π × (4.2)³
4.2³ = 4.2 × 4.2 = 17.64; 17.64 × 4.2 = 74.088
(2/3) × 74.088 = 148.176 / 3 = 49.392
49.392 × π ≈ 49.392 × 3.1416 ≈ 155.17 → 155.17

Problem 15: Square Pyramid


Base = 6 cm × 6 cm, Height = 15 cm
Volume = (1/3) × (6×6) × 15 = (1/3) × 36 × 15 = 180 cm³ → 180.00

Problem 16: Composite — Cone on top of Hemisphere?


Wait — diagram 16: It shows a cone sitting on a hemisphere. But the question is to find the volume of the whole shape? Or just the cone? Looking at the label: it says “Volume =” under the entire figure. Also, dimensions: cone height = 12 mm, hemisphere radius = 4 mm (since diameter of base is 8 mm? Wait — it says “4 mm” pointing to radius of hemisphere, and cone has same base radius.

Actually, the figure shows a cone with height 12 mm and base radius 4 mm, attached to a hemisphere of radius 4 mm. So total volume = volume of cone + volume of hemisphere.

Cone: V_cone = (1/3)πr²h = (1/3)π(16)(12) = 64π
Hemisphere: V_hemi = (2/3)πr³ = (2/3)π(64) = 128/3 π ≈ 42.6667π
Total = 64π + 42.6667π = 106.6667π ≈ 106.6667 × 3.1416 ≈ 335.10 → 335.10

*(Check: 106.6667 * 3.1416 = 100*3.1416=314.16, 6.6667*3.1416≈20.94, total≈335.10 — correct)*
