Practice Questions
Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Calculate the volume of a cone with radius 3 cm and height 9 cm using the formula ⅓πr²h.
[3 marks]2.
A cone has a radius of 5 cm and a height of 12 cm. Calculate its volume, giving your answer in cubic centimeters.
[3 marks]3.
Construct a cone on the grid with a radius of 4 units and a height of 10 units. Use appropriate drawing techniques.
[2 marks]4.
A cone's volume is 150π cm³, and its height is 10 cm. Find the radius of the cone.
[3 marks]5.
Calculate the volume of a cone with radius 2.5 cm and height 7 cm. Provide your answer in cubic centimeters.
[3 marks]6.
A radius of a cone is doubled while height remains the same. How does the volume change? Explain your reasoning.
[3 marks]7.
A conical tank has a radius of 6 meters and a height of 15 meters. Calculate its volume. Use π ≈ 3.14.
[4 marks]8.
Identify and correct the mistake in the following calculation: A cone with radius 4 cm and height 8 cm has a volume of 213.6 cm³ when calculated as ⅓ × 3.14 × 4² × 8.
[3 marks]9.
Suppose a cone has a radius of 7 cm and a volume of 539.82 cm³. Find its height.
[3 marks]10.
Challenge: Derive the formula for the volume of a cone starting from the volume of a cylinder, explaining each step.
[4 marks]11.
Plot the graph of y = ⅓πr²h as r varies from 0 to 10 units, with h fixed at 8 units. Use the grid to sketch the shape.
