with two of its legs are the radius of the circle. The area of
the minor segment is the difference between the sector and
the triangle:

The diagonal of the floor of a rectangular room is 7.50 m. The shorter side of the room is
4.5 m. What is the area of the room?
Solution:

The image below is a silo made from two right circular cones, and a right circular
cylinder where the dimensions are given in feet. What is the volume of the entire silo in
cubic feet?
 Solution:
Vcone = 1/3()(3)2(4) = 12
Vcyl = (3)2(12) = 108

V= 2*Vcone + Vcyl
= 2*(12) + 108
= 132

A room has dimensions of 18ft by 15ft by 9ft. The last dimension is the height of the
room. It has one door that is 3ft by 7ft and two windows, each 2ft by 5ft. There is no trim
to the floor, wall, doors, or windows. What is the total exposed wall space?
Solution:
SAwhole = 2(18 x 15) + 2(15 x 9) + 2(18 x 9)
= 594 sq. ft

Adoor = 3 x 7 = 21 [Link]
Awindow = 2 x 5 = 10 [Link]

Wall Space = 594 – 21 – 2(10) = 553 [Link].

If a waterproof box is 50cm in length, 20cm in depth, and 30cm in height, how much
water will overflow if 35 liters of water are poured into the box?
Solution:
Vbox = (50 cm)(20 cm)(30 cm) = 30000 cu. cm
1 cu. cm = 1 mL = 0.001 L
Vbox = 30 L
Voverflow = 35 L – 30 L = 5 L

The Pyramid of Giza has a height of 480 feet. If the length of each side of the base is

A spherical orange fits snugly inside a small cubical box such that each of the six walls
of the box just barely touches the surface of the orange. If the volume of the box is 64
cubic inches, what is the surface area of the orange in square inches?
Solution:
A side of the cube is equivalent to the diameter of the sphere.
64 = s3 SA = 4(4/2)2
s = 4 in SA = 16 sq. in

What is the surface area of a hemisphere with a diameter of 4 cm?

Solution:
The surface area of a hemisphere is half the area of a sphere and
the area of the circular base

SAsphere = 4(4/2)2 = 16 cm2

Abase = (4/2)2 = 4 cm2

SAhemi = (16/2) + 4 = 12

Let A be a point on a sphere, and B be the point on the sphere farthest from A. The
shortest distance from A to B along the surface is 32π. Give the surface area of the
sphere.
Solution:
 The farthest point from another point in a sphere is
likened to the north pole to south pole connection
which means the distance is the same as half the
circumference of the largest circle drawn in the circle.

Radius of the sphere is the same as the radius of the semicircle.

32 = (2r)(1/2) SA = 4r2 = 4(32)2
r = 32 SA = 4,096

Find the volume of the frustum of a cone of height 20 in, large base radius to be 25 in,
and small base radius to be 4 in.
Solution:

The height of the frustum of the cone is, H = 20 in.

The large base radius of the frustum is, R = 25 in.

Its slant height is, L = 29 in.

Its small base radius is, r = 4 in.

The volume of the given frustum of the cone is,

V = πH/3 (R2 + Rr + r2)

Substituting the values of R, r, and H here,

V = π(20)/3 [ (25)2 + (25)(4) + 42]

V = 4940π in3

Let’s say we have an open metal bucket whose height is 50cm and the radii of the bases
are 10cm and 20cm. Find the area of the metallic sheet used to make the bucket.
Solution:
Bucket is in the form of frustum which closed from the bottom. We need to calculate the total
surface area of this frustum.
Given
H = 50 cm
r ‘= 10 cm
r = 20 cm
Curved Surface Area of Frustum = πL(R+r)
L = √ [H2 + (r – r’)2]

L = √ [502 + (20 – 10)2]

= √(2500+100) = √(2600)
= √100(26) = 10√(26)
Curved Surface Area of Frustum = πL(R+r)
= π10√(26)×(20+10)
= 300π√(26)
Total Surface Area = Curved Surface Area of Frustum + Area of Both Bases
= 300π√(26) + π(20)2 + π(10)2
= 300π√(26) + 400π + 100π
= (300π√(26) + 500π)
= 6376.5 cm2
