Sample Questions

1multiple correct

Which of the following are correct formulas for volumes? (Select all correct answers)

Show answer

Volume of pyramid = (1/3) × base area × height, Volume of cone = (1/3)πr²h, Volume of sphere = (4/3)πr³, Volume of cylinder = πr²h

Step 1: Check each formula. Pyramid and cone volumes include the factor 1/3. Step 2: Sphere volume is (4/3)πr³. Step 3: Cylinder volume is πr²h (no factor of 1/3). The incorrect option omits the 1/3 factor for pyramid.

2multiple choice

The curved surface area of a cone with base radius 5 cm and slant height 13 cm is:

Show answer

65π cm²

Step 1: Use formula for curved surface area of cone = πrl. Step 2: Substitute r = 5 cm, l = 13 cm. Step 3: Curved surface area = π × 5 × 13 = 65π cm². Common mistake: Using πr²l instead of πrl.

3multiple choice

A metal cube of edge 6 cm is melted and recast into a sphere. What is the radius of the sphere?

Show answer

3√(3/π)^(1/3) cm

Step 1: Volume of cube = 6³ = 216 cm³. Step 2: Volume of sphere = (4/3)πr³. Step 3: Equating volumes: (4/3)πr³ = 216. Step 4: r³ = 216 × 3/(4π) = 162/π. Step 5: r = (162/π)^(1/3) = 3(6/π)^(1/3). Common mistake: Not equating volumes correctly.

4multiple correct

Which properties are true for a regular square pyramid? (Select all correct answers)

Show answer

All lateral faces are congruent isosceles triangles, The apex is directly above the center of the base, All lateral edges are equal, The base is a regular polygon

Step 1: Regular square pyramid has square base and congruent triangular faces. Step 2: Apex is centered above base. Step 3: All lateral edges from apex to base vertices are equal. Step 4: Base is square (regular polygon). The incorrect option states all faces are triangles, but the base is a square.
