Example Questions

Example Question #3 : Geometric Measurement & Dimension

If a cylinder has a radius of \displaystyle 11 and a height of \displaystyle 4 what is the volume?

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 8 \pi

\displaystyle 44

\displaystyle 484

\displaystyle 484 \pi

\displaystyle 4 \pi^{2}

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 484 \pi

Explanation:

In order to find the volume, we need to recall the equation for the volume of a cylinder.

\displaystyle V = \pi h r^{2}

Since we are given the radius, and the height, we can simply plug in those values into the equation.

\displaystyle \\r=11\rightarrow r^2=121 \\h=4

\displaystyle V = 484 \pi

Thus the volume is

\displaystyle 484 \pi

\displaystyle V = \frac{\pi h}{3} r^{2}
Since we are given the volume, and the radius, we can simply plug in those values into the equation.

\displaystyle \\V=277 \\r=3

\displaystyle \\277 = 3 \pi h \\\\h = \frac{277}{3 \pi}

Thus the height is

\displaystyle \frac{277}{3 \pi} 

Example Question #8 : Geometric Measurement & Dimension

If a pyramid has a base width of \displaystyle 13 a base length of \displaystyle 11 and a volume of \displaystyle 669 what is the height?

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle \frac{2007}{143}

\displaystyle \frac{2007 \pi}{143}

\displaystyle \frac{669}{143}

\displaystyle \frac{6021}{143}

\displaystyle \frac{4028049}{20449}

Correct answer:

\displaystyle \frac{2007}{143}

Explanation:

In order to find the height, we need to recall the equation for the volume of a pyramid,

\displaystyle V = \frac{h lw}{3}

Since we are given the length, width, and volume, we can simply plug those values into the equation.

\displaystyle w=13, l=11, V=669

\displaystyle 669 = \frac{143 h}{3}

Now we solve for \displaystyle h.

\displaystyle h = \frac{2007}{143}

Thus the height is

\displaystyle \frac{2007}{143}

Example Question #9 : Geometric Measurement & Dimension
