Example Question #2 : Volume Of Other Solids

If a cube has a width of 7in, find the volume.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the volume of a cube, we will use the following formula:

where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height of the cube.

We know the width of the cube is 7in. Because it is a cube, all sides/lengths are equal. Therefore, the length and the height are also 7in.

Now, we can substitute. We get

Example Question #1631 : Ged Math

If a cube has a height of 8cm, find the volume.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the volume of a cube, we will use the following formula:

where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height of the cube.

Now, we know the height of the cube is 8cm. Because it is a cube, all sides/lengths are the same. Therefore, the length and the width are also 8cm. So, we can substitute. We get

Example Question #111 : 3 Dimensional Geometry

Let .

Find the volume of a cone with the following measurements:

  • radius:  7cm
  • height:  9cm
Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the volume of a cone, we will use the following formula:

where r is the radius and h is the height of the cone.

Now, we know . We know the radius of the cone is 7cm. We know the height of the cone is 9cm. So, we substitute. We get

 

Example Question #112 : 3 Dimensional Geometry

Find the volume of a cube with a width of 11in.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the volume of a cube, we will use the following formula:

where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height of the cube.

Now, we know the width of the cube is 11in. Because it is a cube, all widths/lengths/etc are the same. Therefore, the length and the height are also 11in. So, we substitute. We get

The answer is:  

Example Question #671 : Geometry And Graphs

What is the volume of a hemisphere with a radius of 2?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Recall that the volume of a full sphere is:  

A hemisphere would be half this volume.

Substitute the radius.

The answer is:  

Example Question #673 : Geometry And Graphs

A cube has a length of 9cm. Find the volume.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the volume of a cube, we will use the following formula:

where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height of the cube.

Now, we know the length of the cube is 9cm. Because it is a cube, all sides/lengths are equal. Therefore, the width and height are also 9cm.

Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula. We get

Example Question #673 : Geometry And Graphs

Find the volume of a cube with a height of 6cm.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the volume of a cube, we will use the following formula:

where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height of the cube.

Now, we know the height of the cube is 6cm. Because it is a cube, all lengths/sides/etc are equal. Therefore, the length and the width are also 6cm.

So, we substitute. We get

Example Question #674 : Geometry And Graphs

Find the volume of a cone with a radius of 8in and a height of 6in.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the volume of a cone, we will use the following formula:

where r is the radius and h is the height of the cone.

Now, we know the radius is 8in. We know the height is 6in. So, we can substitute. We get
