If the volume of a sphere is 288π cm³, what is its radius?
Answer:
6 cm
Volume = (4/3) * π * r³ = 288π. Dividing both sides by π gives (4/3) * r³ = 288. Multiply by 3/4 to isolate r³: r³ = 288 * (3/4) = 72 * 3 = 216. The cube root of 216 is 6, so r = 6 cm.

Find the surface area of a sphere of radius 7 cm. (Use π ≈ 22/7)
Answer:
616 cm²
The surface area of a sphere is calculated as Area = 4 * π * r². Substituting the values: Area = 4 * (22/7) * 7² = 4 * 22 * 7 = 88 * 7 = 616 cm².
3123
What is the volume of a sphere with a radius of 3 cm? (Leave answer in terms of π)
Answer:
36π cm³
The volume of a sphere is V = (4/3) * π * r³. Substituting r = 3 cm: V = (4/3) * π * 3³ = (4/3) * π * 27 = 4 * 9 * π = 36π cm³.
3124
A cylinder and a cone have the same base radius and the same height. What is the ratio of the volume of the cylinder to the volume of the cone?
Answer:
3:1
Volume of a cylinder = π * r² * h. Volume of a cone = (1/3) * π * r² * h. The ratio of their volumes is (π * r² * h) : ((1/3) * π * r² * h) = 1 : 1/3 = 3 : 1.
3125
What is the total surface area of a right circular cone of radius 7 cm and slant height 13 cm? (Use π ≈ 22/7)
Answer:
440 cm²
Total Surface Area (TSA) of a cone = π * r * (r + l), where r is the radius and l is the slant height. TSA = (22/7) * 7 * (7 + 13) = 22 * 20 = 440 cm².
3126
If the base area of a cone is 154 cm² and its height is 12 cm, what is its volume?
Answer:
616 cm³
The volume of a cone is V = (1/3) * Base Area * height. Substituting the given values: V = (1/3) * 154 * 12 = 154 * 4 = 616 cm³.
3127
What is the curved surface area of a cone with radius 5 cm and slant height 10 cm? (Use π ≈ 3.14)
Answer:
157 cm²
The curved surface area (CSA) of a cone is calculated as CSA = π * r * l. Substituting the given values: CSA = 3.14 * 5 * 10 = 3.14 * 50 = 157 cm².
3128
Find the slant height of a cone whose base radius is 3 cm and height is 4 cm.
Answer:
5 cm
The slant height (l) of a cone, its height (h), and its base radius (r) form a right-angled triangle. By Pythagoras: l = √(r² + h²) = √(3² + 4²) = √(9 + 16) = √25 = 5 cm.
3129
What is the volume of a right circular cone with radius 6 cm and height 7 cm? (Use π ≈ 22/7)
Answer:
264 cm³
The volume of a cone is V = (1/3) * π * r² * h. Substituting the given values: V = (1/3) * (22/7) * 6² * 7 = (1/3) * 22 * 36 = 22 * 12 = 264 cm³.
3130
The curved surface area of a cylinder is 264 cm² and its volume is 924 cm³. Find its height.
Answer:
6 cm
Volume / CSA = (πr²h) / (2πrh) = r/2. So, 924 / 264 = r/2. This gives 3.5 = r/2, so r = 7 cm. Using CSA to find height: 2 * (22/7) * 7 * h = 264. 44h = 264, meaning h = 6 cm.
