Show Answer Key & Explanations 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.

Problem 1: Square pyramid


Base = 4 cm × 4 cm, Height = 9 cm
V = (1/3) × 4 × 4 × 9 = (1/3) × 144 = 48.00 cm³

---

Problem 2: Rectangular pyramid


Length = 12 cm, Width = 6 cm, Height = 15 cm
V = (1/3) × 12 × 6 × 15 = (1/3) × 1080 = 360.00 cm³

---

Problem 3: Rectangular pyramid


Length = 5 cm, Width = 7 cm, Height = 20 cm
V = (1/3) × 5 × 7 × 20 = (1/3) × 700 ≈ 233.33 cm³

---

Problem 4: Composite shape — square pyramid on top of rectangular prism? Wait — looking at diagram: it’s a pyramid with rectangular base 3cm x 2cm and height 7cm? But also has a “step” — actually, from labels: base is 3cm by 2cm, height is 7cm — so just a pyramid.



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)*

---

Problem 5: Cone


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

---

Problem 6: Cone


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

---

Problem 7: Cone


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

---

Problem 8: Cone


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)*

Problem 9: Sphere


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

---

Problem 10: Sphere


Radius = 2 cm
V = (4/3) × π × 8 = (32/3)π ≈ 10.6667 × 3.1416 ≈ 33.51 cm³

---

Problem 11: Sphere


Diameter = 22 cm → radius = 11 cm
V = (4/3) × π × 1331 = (5324/3)π ≈ 1774.6667 × 3.1416 ≈ 5575.28 cm³

---

Problem 12: Sphere


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

---

Problem 13: Hemisphere


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

---

Problem 14: Hemispherical bowl? Same as hemisphere.


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

---

Problem 15: Square pyramid? Base is 6cm x 6cm? Diagram shows base edges 6cm and 6cm, height 15cm.



Yes — square base 6x6, height 15
V = (1/3) × 6 × 6 × 15 = (1/3) × 540 = 180.00 cm³

---

Problem 16: Cone on top of hemisphere? Composite shape.



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
