Practice Questions
Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Calculate the surface area of a cylinder with radius 5 cm and height 10 cm using the formula 2πr² + 2πrh.
[3 marks]2.
A cylindrical can has radius 3 inches and height 8 inches. Find its surface area.
[3 marks]3.
Explain why the term 2πr² appears in the surface area formula for cylinders.
[2 marks]4.
A storage tank is in the shape of a cylinder with radius 4 m and height 12 m. Calculate its surface area.
[3 marks]5.
If a cylinder's radius is doubled while its height remains the same, how does the surface area change? Show your reasoning.
[3 marks]6.
A cylinder has a surface area of 628.32 cm². If the radius is 4 cm, find its height.
[3 marks]7.
Construct a diagram of a cylinder on the grid paper, then shade the areas representing the top and side surfaces.
[2 marks]8.
Calculate the surface area of a cylinder with radius 7 meters and height 3 meters.
[3 marks]9.
A water tank is a cylinder with radius 2.5 meters and height 10 meters. Due to a redesign, the radius is increased to 3 meters. Find the new surface area and explain the change.
[4 marks]10.
Identify and correct the mistake in this calculation: Surface area = 2π(4)² + 2π(4)(10) = 2×3.14×16 + 2×3.14×4×10 = 100.48 + 251.2 = 351.68 cm².
[3 marks]11.
Challenge: Derive the formula for the surface area of a cylinder starting from the area of its components.
