Find the cylinder volume. Give an exact answer in terms of pi and an approximation to 1 decimal place.

Not to scale
\(r=5\text{ cm}\)
\(h=7\text{ cm}\)
Hint

Halve the diameter if the diagram gives d.

Stage 9 - Q2 - 3 marks
20088

Find the cylinder volume. Give an exact answer in terms of pi and an approximation to 1 decimal place.

Not to scale
\(d=3\text{ cm}\)
\(h=6\text{ cm}\)
Hint

Halve the diameter if the diagram gives d.

Stage 9 - Q3 - 3 marks
20089

Find the cylinder volume. Give an exact answer in terms of pi and an approximation to 1 decimal place.

Not to scale
\(r=2\text{ cm}\)
\(h=14\text{ cm}\)
Hint

Halve the diameter if the diagram gives d.

Stage 9 - Q4 - 3 marks
20090

A cylinder has radius 55 mm and height 17 cm. Find its volume in cubic cm, to 1 decimal place.

Hint

Use one consistent length unit throughout the formula.

Stage 9 - Q5 - 3 marks
20091

Find the cylinder volume. Give an exact answer in terms of pi and an approximation to 1 decimal place.

Not to scale
\(d=8\text{ cm}\)
\(h=8\text{ cm}\)
Hint

Halve the diameter if the diagram gives d.

Stage 9 - Q6 - 3 marks
20092

A cylinder has diameter 5 cm and height 11 cm. A pupil uses the diameter as r. By what factor is the result too large? Give the correct exact volume.

Hint

The radius appears squared.

Stage 9 - Q7 - 3 marks
20093

A cylinder has radius 60 mm and height 14 cm. Find its volume in cubic cm, to 1 decimal place.

Hint

Use one consistent length unit throughout the formula.

Stage 9 - Q8 - 3 marks
20094

A cylinder of radius \(\frac{9}{2}\) cm and height 5 cm has its radius doubled, with height unchanged. Find its new exact volume.

Hint

Separate a radius change from a height change.

Stage 9 - Q9 - 3 marks
20095

A cylinder has diameter 9 cm and height 6 cm. A pupil uses the diameter as r. By what factor is the result too large? Give the correct exact volume.

Hint

The radius appears squared.

Stage 9 - Q10 - 6 marks
20096

A wax cylinder has radius 6 cm and height 15 cm. It is melted into 10 identical cylindrical candles, each of radius 3 cm. Exactly 5% of the wax is lost. Find each candle height.

Hint

A 5% loss leaves 95% of the volume, not 95% of every dimension.
