  1. 1
    The diagram below shows a cylinder. Calculate its volume. (π ≈ 3,14)
    (2)
    r = 5 cm h = 12 cm
    3,14 × 25 × 12 = 942 cm³✓✓ (2)
  2. 2
    The diagram below shows a cone. Calculate its volume. (π ≈ 3,14)
    (2)
    r = 3 cm h = 4 cm
    ⅓ × 3,14 × 9 × 4 = 37,68 cm³✓✓ (2)
  3. 3
    Calculate the volume of the sphere in the diagram below. (π ≈ 3,14)

  4. 4
    Calculate the surface area of the sphere in the diagram below. (π ≈ 3,14)
    (2)
    r = 6 cm
    4 × 3,14 × 36 = 452,16 cm²✓✓ (2)
  5. 5
    The diagram below shows a pyramid. Calculate its volume.
    (2)
    h = 9 cm base area 30 cm²
    ⅓ × 30 × 9 = 90 cm³✓✓ (2)
  6. 6
    A solid's dimensions are all doubled. What happens to its volume?
    (2)
    It becomes 8 times bigger (2³).✓✓ (2)
  7. 7
