A solid cube of edge 14 cm is melted and cast into a cuboid whose base measures 28 cm by 14 cm. Find the height of the cuboid.
Answer:
7 cm
Volume of the cuboid must equal the volume of the cube. Volume of cube = 14 × 14 × 14 = 2744 cm³. Volume of cuboid = L × W × H = 28 × 14 × H. So, 392 × H = 2744, which gives H = 2744 / 392 = 7 cm.

A cone, a hemisphere, and a cylinder stand on equal bases and have the same height. The ratio of their volumes is:
Answer:
1:2:3
Let the base radius be r. Since the height is the same as the base radius of the hemisphere, h = r. Volume of cone = (1/3)πr³; Hemisphere = (2/3)πr³; Cylinder = πr³. The ratio is (1/3) : (2/3) : 1, which simplifies to 1:2:3.
2863
If the volume of a hemisphere is 19404 cm³, find its radius. (Use π = 22/7)
Answer:
21 cm
Volume of hemisphere = (2/3)πr³. So, (2/3) × (22/7) × r³ = 19404. r³ = (19404 × 21) / 44 = 441 × 21 = 9261. Therefore, r = ³√9261 = 21 cm.
2864
What is the capacity in liters of a conical vessel with base radius 7 cm and height 24 cm? (Use π = 22/7)
Answer:
1.232 liters
Volume = (1/3)πr²h = (1/3) × (22/7) × 7 × 7 × 24 = 22 × 7 × 8 = 1232 cm³. Since 1000 cm³ = 1 liter, the capacity is 1232 / 1000 = 1.232 liters.
2865
A rectangular sheet of paper 44 cm × 20 cm is rolled along its length to form a cylinder. Find the volume of the cylinder formed. (Use π = 22/7)
Answer:
3080 cm³
When rolled along its length, the circumference of the base becomes 44 cm and the height becomes 20 cm. 2πr = 44, so 2 × (22/7) × r = 44, yielding r = 7 cm. Volume = πr²h = (22/7) × 7 × 7 × 20 = 3080 cm³.
2866
If the radius of a sphere is increased by 10%, its surface area increases by:
Answer:
21%
Surface area is proportional to the square of the radius. If radius becomes 1.1 times, the new area becomes (1.1)² = 1.21 times the original area. This represents a 21% increase.
2867
What is the volume of a sphere whose surface area is 616 cm²? (Use π = 22/7)
Answer:
1437.33 cm³
Surface Area = 4πr² = 616. 4 × (22/7) × r² = 616, so r² = (616 × 7) / 88 = 49. Radius r = 7 cm. Volume = (4/3)πr³ = (4/3) × (22/7) × 7³ = (4/3) × 22 × 49 = 4312 / 3 ≈ 1437.33 cm³.
2868
A solid metallic cylinder of base radius 3 cm and height 5 cm is melted to form cones, each of height 1 cm and base radius 1 mm. How many such cones are formed?
Answer:
13500
Volume of cylinder = π × 3² × 5 = 45π cm³. Volume of one cone = (1/3)πr²h. r = 1 mm = 0.1 cm. Volume of cone = (1/3)π(0.1)²(1) = 0.01π/3 cm³. Number of cones = 45π / (0.01π/3) = 45 × 3 / 0.01 = 13500.
2869
Two cylinders have equal volumes. The ratio of their heights is 1:9. What is the ratio of their radii?
Answer:
3:1
Since volumes are equal, πr₁²h₁ = πr₂²h₂. We know h₁/h₂ = 1/9. Therefore, r₁²/r₂² = h₂/h₁ = 9/1. Taking the square root, r₁/r₂ = 3/1.

The curved surface area of a right circular cylinder is 4400 cm² and its base circumference is 110 cm. Find its height.
Answer:
40 cm
Curved surface area = base circumference × height. So, 4400 = 110 × h. Height (h) = 4400 / 110 = 40 cm.
