The question, in short

From a rectangle with diagonal 50 cm and angle 32° at D, a cylinder is made by joining AD to BC, with DC as the base circumference. Calculate its volume in cm³ to 3 significant figures.

Summarised in our own words. Use the official paper for the exact wording and the diagram.

Solution · 6 marks

  1. 1sin(32) = BC / 50
  2. 2BC = 50 × sin(32) = 26.4959...
  3. 3cos(32) = CD / 50
  4. 4CD = 50 × cos(32) = 42.4024...
  5. 5r = 42.4024... / (2 × π) = 6.74855...
  6. 6V = π × (6.74855...)² × 26.4959...
  7. 7V = 3790
