Explain and use formulas for lateral area, surface area, and volume of solids.

Remarks

Example:  A gold class ring is dropped into a glass that is a right cylinder with a 6 cm diameter. The water level rises 1 mm. What is the volume of the ring?  Example:  Given the composite solid consisting of a hemisphere and a cone, calculate the surface area and the volume.

  • Test Item #: Sample Item 1
  • Question:

    Abraham works at the Delicious Cake Factory and packages cakes in cardboard containers shaped like right circular cylinders with hemispheres on top, as shown in the diagram below.

     

    Abraham wants to wrap the cake containers completely in colored plastic wrap and needs to know how much wrap he will need. What is the total exterior surface area of the container?

  • Test Item #: Sample Item 2
  • Question:

    At a garage sale, Jason bought an aquarium shaped like a truncated cube. A truncated cube can be made by slicing a cube with a plane perpendicular to the base of the cube and removing the resulting triangular prism, as shown in the cube diagram below.

     

    What is the capacity, in cubic inches, of this truncated cube aquarium?
