3-d Geometry

Create a word problem involving surface area and volume of 3-d figures.  First person creates the problem.  Next person solves it.  Then it keeps going...

  1. What is the surface area of a cylinder if its radius is 13 and its height is 22? Answer it both ways; using pie and leaving it in terms of pie. And use 3.14 for pie.

    Remember: The formula for this is 2 x (3.14 instead of pie) x r x h + 2 x (3.14 instead of pie) x r^2.

  2. What is the surface area of ac cylinder if the diameter is 14 and the height if 31?

    Remember that I wrote the diameter is, calculate the RADIUS!

    The formula is: SA 2*pi*(Radius)*31 + 2*pi*(Radius) squared!

  3. vita: Not in terms of pie is 2,857.4
    And in terms of pie is 910.

  6. What is the surface area of a rectangular prism with a height of 37cm, a width of 87cm, and a length of 98cm. Challenge: how many full cubes with a side of 2 centimeters each will fit into this prism? REMEMBER: how many FULL cubes.

  7. you better answer my question. Ill be waiting until someone can step up to the easy challenge.

  8. the formula for surface area of a rectangular prism is 2lh+2wl+2wh, so
    first i multiplied 2x37x98=7,252cm
    then i multiplied 2x87x98=17,052cm
    then i multipled 37x87x2= 6,438cm, so when you add everthying up the answer to nikhil's question is 30,742cm^2

    since a rectangular prism had 12 sides, you multiply 2 and it is 24cm each, then divide 24 by 30,742

    im not sure i know the amswer to the challenge problem, but is it about 1,280 cubes

    if not please say the answer and explin it

  9. Mila u did it wrong, you had to find the volume of the rec. prism, which was 315,462 cm^3 then you find the area of each cube which is 2x2, 4. Then 315,462 divided by 4 which would be 78865.5. But that wont be the answer because he asked how many FULL cubes which would be 78,865 cubes. Mrs.Norwich does this count as a answer also or do I have to make a new question..?

  10. did i do the surface area correct, though
    and thanks nickie for the help

  12. Bill Lee was eating chicken soup from a cylinder-shaped can. The can had a diameter of 8 and a height of 16. What is the surface area of the cylinder?
    SA of a C= 2 x pi x r x h + 2 x pi x r^2

    good luck...pay attention VERY carefully

  13. The surface area of the cylinder is 502.6548246 but rounded to the tenth would be 502.7^2 (didnt say unit though)

  14. Samantha was putting scrunchies in a cylinder-shaped container. The diameter of the container is 5 inches and the height is 10 inches. What is the volume of the container?

    V of a Cylinder: pi r^2 x h

  15. Let me just clarify on Nikhil's question... A rectangular prism has 6 faces surface area is calculated as 2lw + 2lh + 2wh. However, he also asked about fitting the cubes into the prism. That means that you need to figure out volume = lwh. The volume of the cube is 2x2x2. Finally you divide the volume of the prism by the volume of the cube. Good question.

  17. I would like to answer Mahtabs (queensuravi99) question:
    My answer is 196.3^3inches
    I rounded to the nearest tenths.

  18. Yes, Alina that is correct. And by the way, my name is Suravi, not Mahtab.(queenSURAVI99)

    ReplyDelete
  19. In reference to Suravi's question...
    pi=3.14
    radius=diameter/2
    =2.5/2
    =1.25 inches
    Area=pi*radius squared*height
    =pi*1.25 squared*10
    =pi*1.5625*10
    = approximately 49.0625

  20. @Royal,
    I think you got the incorrect answer because you said:
    Radius= Diameter/2
    And then you did:
    2.5/2
    However, the diameter was 5, not 2.5.
    2.5 is the radius.
    So you do,
    Pi X 2.5^2 X 10
    Which equals 196.34. So Alina was correct. :)

  21. Cindy bought some crackers that were inside a cylinder can. The height of the cylinder can is 12 centimeters and the diameter of the cylinder can is 8 centimeters. What is the volume of the cylinder can? Use pi as 3.14.

    Volume of a cylinder:
    pi*radius squared*height
