Geometry area volume test answers: worked solutions
Question 1 – Circle [2 pts]
\(2\pi r = 18\pi\), so \(r = 9\).
\(A = \pi \cdot 81 = 81\pi\)
r = 9; area 81π
Scoring: 1 point for the radius, 1 point for the area.
Question 2 – Cylinder [2 pts]
\(V = \pi \cdot 5^{2} \cdot 12 = 300\pi = 942.5\)
942.5 cubic units
Scoring: 1 point for the formula, 1 point for the answer.
Question 3 – Cone [2 pts]
\(V = \frac{1}{3}\pi \cdot 9^{2} \cdot 12 = 324\pi\)
324π
Scoring: 1 point for the formula, 1 point for the answer.
Question 4 – Sphere [2 pts]
Radius 9.
\(V = \frac{4}{3}\pi \cdot 9^{3} = 972\pi\)
972π
Scoring: 1 point for the radius, 1 point for the volume.
Question 5 – Pyramid [2 pts]
\(V = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 144 \cdot 10 = 480\)
480 cubic units
Scoring: 1 point for the base area, 1 point for the volume.
Question 6 – Cavalieri [2 pts]
Cylinder: \(\pi \cdot 4^{2} \cdot 7 = 112\pi\).
Cavalieri’s principle: the other solid has the same volume, \(112\pi\).
112π each
Scoring: 1 point for the volume, 1 point for the principle.
Question 7 – Missing dimension [2 pts]
\(\frac{1}{3}\pi \cdot 36 \cdot h = 48\pi\)
\(12h = 48\), so \(h = 4\).
h = 4
Scoring: 1 point for the equation, 1 point for h.
Question 8 – Dissection [3 pts]
- \(\frac{1}{3} \cdot 16 \cdot 4 = \frac{64}{3}\)
- Three, since \(64 \div \frac{64}{3} = 3\).
- Three equal pyramids fill the prism with the same base and height, so each is one third of Bh.
Scoring: 1 point per part.
Question 9 – Composite solid [3 pts]
Cylinder: \(\pi \cdot 25 \cdot 8 = 200\pi\).
Hemisphere: \(\frac{2}{3}\pi \cdot 125 = \frac{250}{3}\pi\).
\(200\pi + \frac{250}{3}\pi = \frac{850}{3}\pi = 890.1\)
890.1 cubic units
Scoring: 1 point for each solid, 1 point for the total.
Total score
20 points
Key facts behind this geometry area volume test answers
- Circle: C = 2 pi r, A = pi r squared.
- Prism and cylinder: V = Bh.
- Pyramid and cone: V = (1/3)Bh.
- Sphere: V = (4/3) pi r cubed.
- Cavalieri’s principle: same height and same cross-sectional areas give the same volume.
