answer all of these questions correctly with clear working out

Solution

The image you've uploaded contains a set of problems related to 3D shapes and their properties. I'll go through each problem, solve it, and provide clear working out.

1. Surface Area of a Rectangular Prism

The surface area of a rectangular prism is calculated using the formula: Surface Area=2lw+2lh+2wh\text{Surface Area} = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh where ll is the length, ww is the width, and hh is the height.

Let's denote:

  • l=10l = 10 units
  • w=4w = 4 units
  • h=5h = 5 units

Substituting these values: Surface Area=2(10)(4)+2(10)(5)+2(4)(5)=80+100+40=220 square units\text{Surface Area} = 2(10)(4) + 2(10)(5) + 2(4)(5) = 80 + 100 + 40 = 220 \text{ square units}

2. Volume of a Triangular Prism

The volume of a triangular prism is calculated using the formula: Volume=Base Area×Height\text{Volume} = \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height} For a triangular base: Base Area=12×Base×Height of Triangle\text{Base Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Base} \times \text{Height of Triangle} Given:

  • Base of triangle = 6 units
  • Height of triangle = 4 units
  • Length/Height of prism = 8 units

Base Area=12×6×4=12 square units\text{Base Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 4 = 12 \text{ square units} Volume=12×8=96 cubic units\text{Volume} = 12 \times 8 = 96 \text{ cubic units}

3. Surface Area of a Cylinder

The surface area of a cylinder is calculated using the formula: Surface Area=2πrh+2πr2\text{Surface Area} = 2\pi rh + 2\pi r^2 where rr is the radius and hh is the height.

Given:

  • r=3r = 3 units
  • h=10h = 10 units

Substituting these into the formula: Surface Area=2π(3)(10)+2π(3)2=60π+18π=78π square units\text{Surface Area} = 2\pi (3)(10) + 2\pi (3)^2 = 60\pi + 18\pi = 78\pi \text{ square units}

4. Volume of a Pyramid

The volume of a pyramid is calculated using the formula: Volume=13×Base Area×Height\text{Volume} = \frac{1}{3} \times \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height} Given:

  • Base area = 20 square units
  • Height = 9 units

Substituting: Volume=13×20×9=60 cubic units\text{Volume} = \frac{1}{3} \times 20 \times 9 = 60 \text{ cubic units}

5. Volume of a Cone

The volume of a cone is calculated using the formula: Volume=13πr2h\text{Volume} = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h Given:

  • r=4r = 4 units
  • h=6h = 6 units

Substituting: Volume=13π(4)2(6)=13π(16)(6)=13π96=32π cubic units\text{Volume} = \frac{1}{3} \pi (4)^2(6) = \frac{1}{3} \pi (16)(6) = \frac{1}{3} \pi 96 = 32\pi \text{ cubic units}

These are the solutions to the problems on the image. If you need more details or further questions, feel free to ask!

Here are five related questions:

  1. How would the surface area change if the height of the rectangular prism were doubled?
  2. What is the volume of a triangular prism if the base area is halved?
  3. How does the surface area of a cylinder change with respect to its radius?
  4. Can you derive the surface area formula for a cone?
  5. How does the volume of a pyramid compare to a prism with the same base area and height?

Tip: Understanding how formulas for 3D shapes are derived helps in remembering them and applying them correctly!
