    6 MUST KNOW QUESTIONS TO CONQUER

    MENSURATION
    1 A construction company use the following container for sand.

    The container is made up of a cylinder on top of a cone. The cylinder has a radius
    of 3m and a height of h m. The cone has a base radius of 3m and a vertical height [3]
    of 4m.
    The container is initially empty and is then filled with sand from the top at a constant
    rate.
    After 5 hours, the depth of the sand is 6m above the vertex of the cone.
    After 9 hours, the container is full of sand.
    Find the value of h. Give your answer as correct to two decimal places.
    You must show all your working.

    (a) A right pyramid has a vertical height of 12cm and a square base with sides of [1]
    10cm. Find its volume.
    (b) Given also that slants heights of the triangular faces are 13cm, find its total [2]
    surface area.

    A metal bolt is made up of a hemisphere with a cylinder at the centre.


    The height of the cylinder is 1.6 cm and the radius of the hemisphere is 2.7 cm.
    The radius of the base of the cylinder is a third of the radius of the hemisphere.
    (a) Calculate the volume of the metal bolt.
    Give your answer correct to the nearest cubic centimetres. [3]
    (b) A factory melts a big piece of metal to produce the bolts.
    This piece of metal is in the shape of a cuboid with dimensions 1 m by 0.8m
    by 0.6 m. A renovation company wants to order 10 000 metal bolts from [3]
    the factor. Is the big piece of metal sufficient to meet the order?
    4 (a) 2 spherical metal balls, of radii 8 cm and 4 cm respectively is put into a regular
    conical container. The radius of the cone is 10 cm and the height of the cone is
    25 cm.

    Calculate
    (i) the volume of the 2 spherical metal balls,
    (ii) the volume in the cone not occupied by the balls.
    (b) The 2 spherical metal balls are melted and recast to form a solid rectangular
    pyramid as shown below.

    Calculate the height of the solid pyramid.

    5 A company wants to manufacture hollow hemispheric


    containers for sale. Each container has an external radius
    of 15 cm and an internal radius 12 cm. as shown in the
    diagram below.
    (a) Taking 𝜋 = 3.142, find the volume of the material
    that is needed to make each container.
    Leave your answer correct to 3 significant figures. [3] [3]
    (b) The company is evaluating 3 types of materials, X, Y and Z for manufacturing
    the container. The cost of each type of material is shown in the table below.
    Material X Y Z
    Cost 0.0014 0.0021 0.0025
    ($/cm3)
    If the company wants the cost of each container to be less than $15, determine [3]
    the material/s suitable for making the containers.
    6 A new structure shown in the diagram below, has been built. It is made up of
    cylindrical bottom with height of 160 metres and a hemispherical top of radius 50
    metres.

    (a) Calculate the surface area of the hemispherical portion of the structure. [1]
    (b) Find the volume of the structure. [3]
    (c) The owner has set aside a budget of $35000 to spruce up the structure that has
    been build. He is thinking of painting the cylindrical portion of the structure. If
    he is charged $7.50 per m3 for the painting services, would he have enough
    [3]
    budget to proceed with the painting? Show your workings and explain clearly.

    Answer Key

    1 Solution:
    1
    × 𝜋 × (3)2 × 4 = 12𝜋
    3
    𝜋 × (3)2 × (6 − 4) = 18𝜋
    12𝜋 + 18𝜋 = 30𝜋
    9
    30𝜋 × = 54𝜋
    5
    54𝜋 = 12𝜋 + 𝜋 × (3)2 × ℎ
    54𝜋 = 12𝜋 + 9𝜋ℎ
    42𝜋 = 9𝜋ℎ
    ℎ = 4.67
    Ans: 4.67

    2 Solutions:
    1
    (a) Volume = 3 × base area × height (b) Base area = 10 × 10 = 100 cm2
