Question 1

Find the surface area (to one decimal place)

1630977109482.png

SA top = 1/2 x 9 x 12 = 54 cm^2

SA bottom = 1/2 x 9 x 12 = 54 cm^2

SA front = 1/2 x 12 x 5 = 30 cm^2

SA back = 1/2 x 15 x 5 = 37.5 cm^2 (used Pythagoras to get base of 15 cm)

Total SA= 175.5 cm^2

The actual answer says it is 180cm^2 (to one decimal place)


Question 2

Find the surface area (to one decimal place)


1630977291097.png

SA front = (1/2 x 20 x 6) + (20 x 15) = 360 cm^2
SA back = 360 cm^2
SA bottom = 30 x 20 = 600 cm^2
SA RHS = (30 x 15) + (11.66 x 30) used Pythagoras to find width of rectangle w^2 = 10^2 +6^2, w = 11.66 cm
= 799.86 cm^2
SA LHS = 799.86 cm^2

Total SA = 2919.7 cm^2 (to one decimal place)

The actual answer says it is 2819.2 cm^2 (to one decimal place)

Question 3

Find the surface area (to one decimal place)


1630977579233.png

SA RHS = 16.1 x 5.9 = 94.99 mm^2
SA LHS = 94.99 mm^2
SA front = 16.1 x 4 = 64.4 mm^2
SA back = 9.2 x 16.1 = 148.12 mm^2
SA top = 2.79/2 (4+9.2) = 18.414 mm^2 used Pythagoras to get perpendicular height of trapezium h^2 = 5.9^2 - 5.2^2, h = 2.79
SA bottom = 18.414 mm^2
Total SA = 439.3 mm^2 (to one decimal place)

The actual answer says it is 512.0 mm^2 (to one decimal place)


Question 4


Find the volume of the following truncated shape
1630977971893.png

Volume of large pyramid = 1/3 (4 x 4) x 15 = 80 cm^3

Volume of small pyramid = 1/3 (2 x 2 ) x 8 = 32/3 cm^3

Volume of truncated shape = 80 - 32/3 = 69.3 cm^3

The actual answer is 112 cm^3

Question 5

Find the area of the shaded area correct to 1 decimal place

1630978184850.png

Area of entire sector = 1/6 x pi x 14^2
= 98/3 pi cm^2

Area of small sector = 1/6 x pi x 3^2
= 3/2 pi cm^2

Area of shaded region = 98/3 pi - 3/2 pi = 97.9 cm^2 (to one decimal place)

The actual answer is 39. 3 cm^2

With question 1, the top triangle has sides of 9 cm, 13 cm, and cm, which is a Pythagorean triad, so its area is and the total surface area is 180 cm2.

Q3
SA RHS = 16.1 x 5.9 = 94.99 mm^2
SA LHS does not = RHS
Use Pythagoras to determine length (L) of unknown side: L^2 = 5.9^2 + (9.2-4)^2
L = 7.864
SA LHS = 7.864 x 16.1 = 126.6

SA front = 16.1 x 4 = 64.4 mm^2
SA back = 9.2 x 16.1 = 148.12 mm^2
SA top = 5.9*(4+9.2)/2 = 38.94 Perpendicular height of trapezium = 5.9 since corner angles are right angles
SA bottom = 38.94 mm^2
Total SA = 511.99 or 512.0 (to 2 do)


Q4
Volume of large pyramid = 1/3 (4 x 4) x (15+8) = 122.67 cm^3
Volume of small pyramid = 1/3 (2 x 2 ) x 8 = 32/3 = 10.67 cm^3
Volume of truncated shape = 122.67 - 10.67 = 112 cm^3


Q5
Your answer is correct based on their diagram. You correctly interpreted that the radius of the small sector = R-r = 14-11= 3
They’ve arrived at their solution by taking the radius of the small sector as 11 which is not what their diagram shows.

Thank you so so so much :)

If possible can you help with this question. At least the steps that I need to do. I can do the maths just not sure where to start.
