The question, in short
Calculate the surface area of a cuboid with dimensions 8 cm, 5 cm and 3 cm, then find the volume of a sphere with radius 6.4 cm.
Summarised in our own words. Use the official paper for the exact wording and any diagrams.
Part (a) · 3 marks
Work out the total surface area of the cuboid using its three given dimensions.
- 1Faces: 3 × 5 = 15, 3 × 8 = 24, 8 × 5 = 40
- 215 + 24 + 40 = 79
- 3Surface area = 2 × 79 = 158 cm²
Answer158
Part (b) · 2 marks
Work out the volume of the sphere from its radius of 6.4 cm.
- 1V = 4/3 × π × r³
- 2= 4/3 × π × 6.4³
- 3= 1098.07… ≈ 1100 cm³
Answer1100 or 1098 or 1098.0 to 1098.2…
