Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
A cylinder has a radius of 3 cm and a height of 10 cm. Calculate its total surface area using the formula 2πr² + 2πrh.
[3 marks]
2.
If the radius of a cylinder is doubled while keeping the height the same, how does the surface area change? Explain your reasoning.
[3 marks]
3.
Calculate the surface area of a cylinder with radius 5 cm and height 8 cm.
[2 marks]
4.
A cylinder's surface area is 188π cm². If its radius is 4 cm, find its height.
[3 marks]
5.
Identify the common mistake students might make when calculating the surface area of a cylinder and explain how to correct it.
[2 marks]
6.
Construct a cylinder with a radius of 2 cm and a height of 12 cm on the grid. Then, calculate its surface area.
[4 marks]
7.
A cylindrical water tank has a surface area of 440π cm² and a radius of 5 cm. Find its height.
[3 marks]
8.
A cylindrical can has a surface area of 150π cm². Its height is 10 cm. Find the radius.
[3 marks]
9.
A cylinder's height is 15 cm and its radius is 3 cm. If the surface area is increased by 50%, what is the new surface area?
[3 marks]
