Question

1.)Find the height of a rectangular prism if the surface area is 148 cm2, the width is 4 cm and the length is 5 cm.

2.)Find the width of a rectangular prism if the volume is 34 cm3, the length is 1.7 cm, and the height is 0.5 cm.

3.)Find the radius of a cylinder with a volume of 118.79 feet3 and height of 5 feet.

4.)Find the surface area of the pyramid with square base that measures 8 ft by 8 ft and slant height of 12 ft.

5.)Find the slant height of a cone with surface area 63.30 ft2 and diameter 6.2 ft.

6.)Find the height of a square pyramid with volume 126.97 ft3 and dimensions of base are 6 ft by 6 ft.

7.)Find the radius of a cone with volume 199.23 cm3 and height 9 cm.

Answer 1

1) surface of a rectangular prism=2(length x width)+2(length x height)+2(width x height)

Therefore:
148 cm²=2(5 cm x 4 cm)+2(5 cm x h)+2(4 cm x h)=
148 cm²=40 cm²+10 cm h+8 cm h
18 cm h=148 cm²-40 cm²
18 cm h=108 cm²
h=108 cm² / 18 cm=6 cm.

answer: height=6 cm

2)
Volume of a rectangular prism= length x width x height
therefore:
34 cm³=(1.7 cm)(0.5 cm) h
0.85 cm² h=34 cm³
h=34 cm³/0.85 cm²
h=40 cm.

answer: height=40 cm

3)
volume of a cylinder: πr²h
therefore.
118.79 ft³=πr²(5 ft)
r=√(118.79 ft³/5π ft)≈2.75 ft

answer: radius=2.75 ft

4)

Surface area of the pyramid with square base=4(A side)+A base
A side=(1/2)(8ft)(12 ft)=48 ft²
A base=(8 ft)(8 ft)=64 ft²

surface area=4(48 ft²)+64 ft²=256 ft²

Answer: the surface area of this pyramid would be 256 ft².

5)
surface of a cone=πrs+πr²
therefore:
radius=diameter/2=6.2 ft/2=3.1 ft
63.3 ft²=π(3.1 ft) s+π(3.1 ft)²
3.1π ft s=33.109 ft²
s=33.109 ft² /3.1π ft
s≈3.4 ft

Answer: the slant height would be 3.4 ft.

6)
volume of a square pyramid=(area of base x heigth)/3
therefore:
area of base=(6 ft)(6 ft)=36 ft²
126.97 ft³=36 ft² h /3
h=126.97 ft³/12 ft²=10.58 ft

answer: the height would be 10.58 ft.

7)
volume of a cone =(base x height)/3
base of a cone=πr²
therefore:
199.23 cm³=πr²(9 cm)/3
r=√(199.23 cm³ / 3π cm)≈4.6 cm

answer: the radius would be 4.6 cm.
