Question

Let $\pi = 3.14$

Find the area of a circle with a diameter of 14cm.

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

To find the area of a circle, we will use the following formula:

$A = \pi \cdot r^2$

where r is the radius of the circle.

Now, we know $\pi = 3.14$ . We know the diameter of the circle is 14cm. We also know the diameter is two times the radius. Therefore, the radius is 7cm. So, we can substitute. We get

$A = 3.14 \cdot (7\text{cm})^2$

$A = 3.14 \cdot 49\text{cm}^2$

$A = 153.86\text{cm}^2$

Question

Let $\pi = 3.14$

If a cylinder has a height of 7in and a radius of 4in, find the volume.

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

To find the volume of a cylinder, we will use the following formula:

$V = \pi r^2 h$

where r is the radius and h is the height of the cylinder.

We know $\pi=3.14$ .

We know the radius of the cylinder is 4in.

We know the height of the cylinder is 7in.

Now, we can substitute. We get

$V = 3.14 \cdot (4\text{in})^2 \cdot 7\text{in}$

$V = 3.14 \cdot 16\text{in}^2 \cdot 7\text{in}$

$V = 3.14 \cdot 112\text{in}^3$

$V = 351.68\text{in}^3$

Question

A circular swimming pool at an apartment complex has diameter 18 meters and depth 2.5 meters throughout.

The apartment manager needs to get the interior of the swimming pool painted. The paint she wants to use covers 40 square meters per can. How many cans of paint will she need to purchase?

You may use 3.14 for $\pi$ .

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

The pool can be seen as a cylinder with depth (or height) 2.5 meters and a base with diameter 18 meters - and radius half this, or 9 meters.

The bottom of the pool - the base of the cylinder - is a circle with radius 9 meters, so its area is

$B = \pi r ^{2} = 3.14 \cdot 9 \cdot 9 = 254.34$ square meters.

Its side - the lateral face of the cylinder - has area

$LA = 2 \pi r h = 2 \cdot 3.14 \cdot 18 \cdot 2.5 = 141.3$ square meters.

Their sum - the total area to be painted - is square feet. Since one can of paint covers 40 square meters, divide:

$395.64 \div 40 \approx 9.891$

Nine cans of paint and part of a tenth will be required, so the correct response is ten.

Question

A water tank takes the shape of a sphere whose exterior has radius 24 feet; the tank is six inches thick throughout. To the nearest hundred, give the surface area of the interior of the tank in square feet.

Use 3.14 for $\pi$ .

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

Six inches is equal to 0.5 feet, so the radius of the interior of the tank is

feet.

The surface area of the interior of the tank can be calculated using the formula

$SA = 4 \pi r^{2}$

$SA \approx 4 \cdot 3.14 \cdot 23.5 ^{2} \approx 6,936$ ,

which rounds to 6,900 square feet.

Question

A water tank takes the shape of a closed cylinder whose exterior has a height of 40 feet and a base with radius 15 feet; the tank is three inches thick throughout. To the nearest hundred, give the surface area of the interior of the tank in square feet.

Use 3.14 for $\pi$ .

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

Three inches is equal to 0.25 feet, so the height of the interior of the tank is

$40 - 2 \times 0.25 = 39.5$ feet.

The radius of the interior of the tank is

feet.

The surface area of the interior of the tank can be determined by using this formula:

$SA = 2 \pi r (r + h)$

$SA = 2 \cdot 3.14 \cdot 14.75 (14.75 + 39.5)$

$SA \approx 2 \cdot 3.14 \cdot 14.75 \cdot 54.25\approx 5,025$ ,

which rounds to 5,000 square feet.

Question

Give the total surface area of the above cone to the nearest square meter.

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

The base is a circle with radius , and its area can be calculated using the area formula for a circle:

$B= \pi r^{2} = \pi \times 4^{2} \approx 3.14 \times 16 = 50.24$ square meters.

To find the lateral area, we need the slant height of the cone. This can be found by way of the Pythagorean Theorem. Treating the height and the radius as the legs and slant height as the hypotenuse, calculate:

$l^{2} = h^{2} + r^{2}$

$l^{2} = 10^{2} + 4^{2} = 100 + 16 = 116$

$l = \sqrt{116} \approx 10.77$ meters.

The formula for the lateral area can be applied now:

$LA = \pi r l \approx 3.14 \cdot 4 \cdot 10.77 \approx 135.34$

Add the base and the lateral area to obtain the total surface area:

$SA = B + LA \approx 50.24 + 135.34 \approx 185.58$ .

This rounds to 186 square meters.

Question

Above is a diagram of a conic tank that holds a city's water supply.

The city wishes to completely repaint the exterior of the tank - sides and base. The paint it wants to use covers 40 square meters per gallon. Also, to save money, the city buys the paint in multiples of 25 gallons.

How many gallons will the city purchase in order to paint the tower?

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

The surface area of a cone with radius and slant height is calculated using the formula $S = \pi r^{2} + \pi r l$ .

Substitute 35 for and 100 for to find the surface area in square meters:

$S = \pi \cdot 35^{2} + \pi \cdot 35 \cdot 100$

$\approx 3.14 \cdot 1,225 + 3.14\cdot 35 \cdot 100$

$\approx 3,848 + 10,996$

$\approx 14,844$ square meters.

The paint covers 40 square meters per gallon, so the city needs

$14,844 \div 40 =371.1$ gallons of paint.

Since the city buys the paint in multiples of 25 gallons, it will need to buy the next-highest multiple of 25, or 375 gallons.

Question

A cube has a height of 9cm. Find the surface area.

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

To find the surface area of a cube, we will use the following formula:

$SA = 6 \cdot l \cdot w$

where l is the length, and w is the width of the cube.

Now, we know the height of the cube is 9cm. Because it is a cube, all lengths, widths, and heights are the same. Therefore, the length and the width are also 9cm.

Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula. We get

$SA = 6 \cdot 9\text{cm} \cdot 9\text{cm}$

$SA = 6 \cdot 81\text{cm}^2$

$SA = 486\text{cm}^2$
