The radius of the cylinder and the base radius of the cone are each 0.35 cm. (i) Calculate the total surface area of the solid. [The curved surface area, A, of a cone with radius r and slant height l is A = rrl .] … cm2 [5] (ii) Calculate the volume of the solid. 1 2 [The volume, V, of a cone with radius r and height h is V = rr h .] 3 … cm3 [3] (iii) NOT TO 1.4 cm SCALE 3.5 cm 10 of the solids are placed in a box in the shape of a cuboid of length 17.5 cm. The diagram shows one end of the box. Calculate the volume of the empty space in the box. … cm3 [3] (b) NOT TO SCALE The diagram shows two mathematically similar solids. The surface area of the larger solid is 200 cm 2 and the surface area of the smaller solid is 98 cm 2. The volume of the larger solid is 450 cm 3. Calculate the volume of the smaller solid. … cm3 [3]
