Practice Questions
Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Calculate the volume of a cylinder with radius 3 cm and height 10 cm.
[2 marks]2.
A cylinder has a radius of 5 m and a height of 12 m. What is its volume? (Use π ≈ 3.14)
[2 marks]3.
If the volume of a cylinder is 1570 cm³ and the radius is 5 cm, what is its height?
[2 marks]4.
Construct a cylinder with a radius of 4 cm and height of 15 cm on the grid. Show your work.
[3 marks]5.
Plot the graph of y=2x on the grid.
[2 marks]6.
A cylindrical tank has a radius of 2 meters and a height of 8 meters. Calculate its volume using π ≈ 3.14.
[2 marks]7.
A student mistakenly uses the formula πr² + h instead of πr²h to find the volume of a cylinder. Explain why this is incorrect and what the correct approach should be.
[3 marks]8.
A cylinder's radius is mistakenly taken as 4 cm when it is actually 6 cm. How much is the error in the calculated volume if the height is 10 cm? (Use π ≈ 3.14)
[3 marks]9.
Identify and correct the mistake in this calculation: Volume = π × 4² × 10 = 3.14 × 16 × 10 = 502.4 cm³.
[2 marks]10.
A cylinder with radius r and height h has a volume of 1570 cm³. If the height is doubled, what is the new volume?
[2 marks]11.
A learner uses the formula V = πr²h and gets a volume of 300 cm³ with radius 3 cm. What height did they assume? Show your calculation.
