Sample questions

  1. A closed cylinder has radius ___ cm and height ___ cm. Calculate its total surface area using π ≈ 3.14.
  2. If every length of similar solids is multiplied by ___, by what factor does the volume increase?
  3. A rectangular prism measures ___ cm, ___ cm and ___ cm. Calculate its volume.
  4. A rectangular prism has base sides ___ cm and ___ cm and volume ___ cm³. Find its height.
  5. A cylinder has radius ___ cm and height ___ cm. Calculate its volume using π ≈ 3.14.

Volume and surface area of solids

Volume measures occupied space, while surface area is the sum of all outer faces. For a prism, V = base area × height; for a pyramid, divide this product by 3.

Selecting a formula

For a cylinder V = πr²h and for a cone V = πr²h/3. Identify the solid and its elements first. Scaling all lengths by k scales surface area by k² and volume by k³.
