Example Questions

Example Question #1 : Volume Of Other Solids

Find the volume of a cube with a height 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 height of the cube is 11in. Because it is a cube, all sides are equal. Therefore, the width and the length are also 11in. So, we can substitute. We get

Example Question #3 : Volume Of Other Solids

Find the volume of a cube with a height of 10cm.

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 10cm. Because it is a cube, all sides (lengths, widths, heights) are equal. Therefore, the length and the width are also 10cm. So, we can substitute. We get

Example Question #4 : Volume Of Other Solids

A cone has a diameter of 8in and a height of 9in. Find the volume.

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 diameter of the cone is 8in. We also know the diameter is two times the radius. Therefore, the radius is 4in.

We know the height of the cone is 9in.

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

Example Question #3 : Volume Of Other Solids

Find the volume of a cube with a height of 7in.

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 7in. Because it is a cube, all sides are equal. Therefore, the width and the length are also 7in. So, we can substitute. We get

Example Question #1 : Volume Of Other Solids

Let .

A cone has a height of 5in and a diameter of 12in. Find the volume.

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.

We know .

We know the diameter of the cone is 12in. We know the diameter is two times the radius. So, the radius is 6in.

We know the height is 5in.

Now, we can substitute. We get

Now, we can simplify to make things easier. The 36 and the 3 can both be divided by 3. So, we get

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
