Extended question:
A solid metal cuboid measures 10 cm by 6 cm by 3 cm.
Show that 16 of these solid metal cuboids will fit exactly
into a box which has internal measurements 40 cm by
12 cm by 6 cm.
Group 3:
1 A solid metal bar is in the shape of a cuboid of
length of 250 cm. The cross-section is a
square of side x cm. The volume of the cuboid is 4840 cm3.
(a) Show that x = 4.4.
(b) A box, in the shape of a cuboid measures 250 cm by 88 cm by h cm. 120 of the
metal bars fit exactly in the box. Calculate the value of h.
2 Find the total surface of the following half cylindrical solid.
Extended question:
(a) The diagram shows a rectangular tank of base 30 cm by 25 cm. It contains water to a
depth of 8 cm.
