Question

Find the volume of the following polyhedron.

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

The formula for the volume of the polyhedron is:

$V = V_{cone}+\frac{1}{2}V_{sphere}$

$V = \frac{\pi r^2 h}{3} +\frac{1}{2} \frac{4\pi r^3}{3}$

$V = \frac{\pi r^2 h}{3} +\frac{2\pi r^3}{3}$

Where is the radius of the cone, is the height of the cone, and is the radius of the sphere.

Use the formula for a triangle to find the length of the radius:

$a-a\sqrt{2}-2a$

$3\sqrt{3}m-9m-6\sqrt{3}m$

Plugging in our values, we get:

$V = \frac{\pi (3\sqrt{3}m)^29m}{3}+\frac{2 \pi (3\sqrt{3}m)^3}{3}$

$V = \frac{\pi (27m^2)9m}{3}+\frac{2 \pi (81\sqrt{3}m^3)}{3}$

$V = 81 \pi m^3+54\sqrt{3} \pi m^3$

Answer

The formula for the volume of the polyhedron is:

$V = \frac{\pi r^2 h}{3}+\pi r^2 h$

where is the radius of the cone, is the height of the cone, is the radius of the cylinder, and is the height of the cylinder.

Use the formula for a triangle to find the length of the radius and height of the cone:

Question

Find the volume of the following polyhedron.

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

The formula for the volume of the polyhedron is:

$V = (cone) + \frac{1}{2}(sphere)$

$V = \frac{1}{3}(\pi r^2)(h)+\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{4\pi r^3}{3}\right)$

where is the radius of the polyhedron and is the height of the cone.

Use the formula for a triangle to find the length of the radius and height:

$a-a-a\sqrt{2}$

$4\sqrt{2}m-4\sqrt{2}m-8m$

Plugging in our values, we get:

$V = \frac{1}{3}(\pi (4\sqrt{2}m)^2)(4\sqrt{2}m)+\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{4\pi (4\sqrt{2}m)^3}{3}\right)$

$V = 128 \sqrt{2} \pi m^3$

Question

Find the length of the diagonal connecting opposite corners of a cube with sides of length $2\sqrt{2}$ .

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

Find the diagonal of one face of the cube using the Pythagorean Theorem applied to a triangle formed by two sides of that face ( and ) and the diagonal itself ():

$(2\sqrt{2})^2 + (2\sqrt{2})^2 = c^2$

$\rightarrow 8 + 8 = c^2$

$\rightarrow 16 = c^2$

$\rightarrow c = 4$

This diagonal is now the base of a new right triangle (call this ). The height of that triangle is an edge of the cube that runs perpendicular to this diagonal (call this ). The third side of the triangle formed by and is a line from one corner of the cube to the other, i.e., the cube's diagonal (call this ). Use the Pythagorean Theorem again with the triangle formed by , , and to find the length of this diagonal.

$(2\sqrt{2})^2 + (4)^2 = c^2$

$\rightarrow 8 + 16 = c^2$

$\rightarrow 24 = c^2$

$\rightarrow \sqrt{24} = c$

$\rightarrow c= 2\sqrt{6}$

Question

Our backyard pool holds 10,000 gallons. Its average depth is 4 feet deep and it is 10 feet long. If there are 7.48 gallons in a cubic foot, how wide is the pool?

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

There are 7.48 gallons in cubic foot. Set up a ratio:

1 ft3 / 7.48 gallons = x cubic feet / 10,000 gallons

Pool Volume = 10,000 gallons = 10,000 gallons * (1 ft3/ 7.48 gallons) = 1336.9 ft3

Pool Volume = 4ft x 10 ft x WIDTH = 1336.9 cubic feet

Solve for WIDTH:

4 ft x 10 ft x WIDTH = 1336.9 cubic feet

WIDTH = 1336.9 / (4 x 10) = 33.4 ft

Question

If the surface area of a cube equals 96, what is the length of one side of the cube?

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

The surface area of a cube = 6a2 where a is the length of the side of each edge of the cube. Put another way, since all sides of a cube are equal, a is just the lenght of one side of a cube.

We have 96 = 6a2 → a2 = 16, so that's the area of one face of the cube.

Solving we get √16, so a = 4

Question

A sphere with a volume of $\frac{32}{3}$ $\pi m^{3}$ is inscribed in a cube, as shown in the diagram below.

What is the surface area of the cube, in $m^{2}$ ?

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

We must first find the radius of the sphere in order to solve this problem. Since we already know the volume, we will use the volume formula to do this.

$V_{sphere}=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}$

$\frac{32}{3}\pi =\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}$

$\frac{32}{3}=\frac{4}{3}r^{3}$

$\frac{3}{4}\cdot \frac{32}{3}= r^{3}$

$8=r^{3}$

With the radius of the sphere in hand, we can now apply it to the cube. The radius of the sphere is half the distance from the top to the bottom of the cube (or half the distance from one side to another). Therefore, the radius represents half of a side length of a square. So in this case

$side=2\cdot 2=4$

The formula for the surface area of a cube is:

$SA_{cube}=6s^{2}$

$6s^{2}=6\cdot (4)^{2}=6\cdot 16=96$

The surface area of the cube is $96\ m^{2}$

Question

What is the surface area of a cube if its height is 3 cm?

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

The area of one face is given by the length of a side squared.

$A_{face}=(3cm)^2=9\ cm^2$

The area of 6 faces is then given by six times the area of one face: 54 cm2.

$A_{total}=6(A_{face})=6(9\ cm^2)=54\ cm^2$

Question

The side of a cube has a length of $\dpi{100} \small 5 cm$ . What is the total surface area of the cube?

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

A cube has 6 faces. The area of each face is found by squaring the length of the side.

$\dpi{100} \small 5\times 5 = 25$

Multiply the area of one face by the number of faces to get the total surface area of the cube.

$\dpi{100} \small 25 \times 6=150$

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

By the Pythagorean Theorem,

$x=\sqrt{5}$

The surface area of a cube having 6 sides, is 6 times the area of one of its sides.

The area of any side of a cube is the square of the side length.

So if the side length is , the area of any side is , or .

Question

What is the surface area, in inches, of a rectangular prism with a length of $\dpi{100} l=2.2ft$ , a width of , and a height of ?

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

In order to find the surface area of a rectangular prism, use the formula .

However, all units must be the same. All of the units of this problem are in inches with the exception of $\dpi{100} l=2.2ft$ .

Convert to inches.

$l=\frac{2.2ft}{1}*\frac{12in}{1ft}$

Now, we can insert the known values into the surface area formula in order to calulate the surface area of the rectangular prism.

$SA=(950.4in^{2})+(504in^{2})+(739.2in^{2})$

$SA=2193.6in^{2}$

If you calculated the surface area to equal $6652.8in^{2}$ , then you utilized the volume formula of a rectangular prism, which is ; this is incorrect.
