Step-by-step solution for: Geometry - Volume and Surface Area - Volume of Pyramids Cones and ...
Let’s go through each problem one by one, using the correct volume formulas:
---
Formulas to remember:
- Pyramid (rectangular base):
Volume = (1/3) × length × width × height
- Cone:
Volume = (1/3) × π × r² × h
- Sphere:
Volume = (4/3) × π × r³
- Hemisphere (half a sphere):
Volume = (2/3) × π × r³
Use π ≈ 3.1416 unless told otherwise. Round final answers to 2 decimal places.
---
Base = 4 cm × 4 cm, Height = 9 cm
V = (1/3) × 4 × 4 × 9 = (1/3) × 144 = 48.00 cm³
---
Length = 12 cm, Width = 6 cm, Height = 15 cm
V = (1/3) × 12 × 6 × 15 = (1/3) × 1080 = 360.00 cm³
---
Length = 5 cm, Width = 7 cm, Height = 20 cm
V = (1/3) × 5 × 7 × 20 = (1/3) × 700 ≈ 233.33 cm³
---
Wait — re-examining: The figure shows a pyramid sitting on a flat base that’s 3cm by 2cm, and vertical height is 7cm. So yes, pyramid only.
V = (1/3) × 3 × 2 × 7 = (1/3) × 42 = 14.00 cm³
*(Note: Some might think it's two shapes, but label says "pyramid" and dimensions match single pyramid)*
---
Radius = 3 cm, Height = 9 cm
V = (1/3) × π × 3² × 9 = (1/3) × π × 9 × 9 = (1/3) × 81π = 27π ≈ 27 × 3.1416 ≈ 84.82 cm³
---
Radius = 1.5 cm, Height = 7 cm
V = (1/3) × π × (1.5)² × 7 = (1/3) × π × 2.25 × 7 = (1/3) × 15.75π ≈ 5.25π ≈ 5.25 × 3.1416 ≈ 16.49 cm³
---
Diameter = 20 cm → Radius = 10 cm, Height = 24 cm
V = (1/3) × π × 10² × 24 = (1/3) × π × 100 × 24 = (1/3) × 2400π = 800π ≈ 800 × 3.1416 ≈ 2513.27 cm³

Given: slant height = 9.5 mm, radius = 7.2 mm / 2? Wait — no: label says “7.2 mm” across the top — that’s diameter? Or radius?
Looking: “7.2 mm” is written across the circular base — likely diameter. Also, height is given as 7.7 mm? And slant height 9.5 mm.
But for cone volume, we need radius and perpendicular height.
If 7.2 mm is diameter → radius = 3.6 mm
Height = 7.7 mm (given vertically)
Check if Pythagoras holds: r=3.6, h=7.7 → slant should be √(3.6² + 7.7²) = √(12.96 + 59.29) = √72.25 = 8.5 — but labeled slant is 9.5 mm. Inconsistency?
Wait — perhaps 7.2 mm is radius? Let’s check:
If radius = 7.2 mm, height = 7.7 mm → slant = √(7.2² + 7.7²) = √(51.84 + 59.29) = √111.13 ≈ 10.54 — not 9.5.
Alternatively, maybe 7.2 mm is diameter, and 7.7 mm is NOT the height? But arrow points vertically — probably height.
Actually, in many diagrams, they give you what you need. Since both radius and height are needed, and 7.2 mm is shown across the circle, let’s assume it’s diameter, so radius = 3.6 mm. Height = 7.7 mm.
Even though slant doesn’t match exactly, we’ll use given r and h for volume.
V = (1/3) × π × (3.6)² × 7.7 = (1/3) × π × 12.96 × 7.7
First: 12.96 × 7.7 = 99.792
Then: 99.792 / 3 = 33.264
Times π ≈ 33.264 × 3.1416 ≈ 104.50 mm³
*(We ignore the slant height since it’s not needed for volume if we have r and h)*

Diameter = 10 cm → radius = 5 cm
V = (4/3) × π × 5³ = (4/3) × π × 125 = (500/3)π ≈ 166.6667 × 3.1416 ≈ 523.60 cm³
---
Radius = 2 cm
V = (4/3) × π × 8 = (32/3)π ≈ 10.6667 × 3.1416 ≈ 33.51 cm³
---
Diameter = 22 cm → radius = 11 cm
V = (4/3) × π × 1331 = (5324/3)π ≈ 1774.6667 × 3.1416 ≈ 5575.28 cm³
---
Diameter = 17 mm → radius = 8.5 mm
V = (4/3) × π × (8.5)³ = (4/3) × π × 614.125 ≈ (4/3) × 614.125 = 818.8333 × π ≈ 818.8333 × 3.1416 ≈ 2572.44 mm³
---
Diameter = 7 cm → radius = 3.5 cm
Volume of hemisphere = (2/3) × π × r³ = (2/3) × π × (3.5)³
3.5³ = 42.875
(2/3) × 42.875 = 28.5833
× π ≈ 28.5833 × 3.1416 ≈ 89.80 cm³
---
Diameter = 8.4 cm → radius = 4.2 cm
V = (2/3) × π × (4.2)³
4.2³ = 74.088
(2/3) × 74.088 = 49.392
× π ≈ 49.392 × 3.1416 ≈ 155.18 cm³
---
Yes — square base 6x6, height 15
V = (1/3) × 6 × 6 × 15 = (1/3) × 540 = 180.00 cm³
---
Cone part: radius = 4 mm, height = 12 mm
Hemisphere part: same radius 4 mm
Volume cone = (1/3) × π × 4² × 12 = (1/3) × π × 16 × 12 = (1/3) × 192π = 64π
Volume hemisphere = (2/3) × π × 4³ = (2/3) × π × 64 = (128/3)π ≈ 42.6667π
Total = 64π + 42.6667π = 106.6667π ≈ 106.6667 × 3.1416 ≈ 335.10 mm³
