- Count how many cubes are in the structure. - A face where two cubes touch is not exposed on either cube. - Each shared face removes two unit-square faces from the separate-cube total.

1. There are four cubes, so before accounting for shared faces they contribute \(4\cdot6=24\) unit-square faces. 2. The three cubes in the bottom row have two shared faces between neighboring cubes. The upper cube shares one face with the middle bottom cube. 3. Each shared face removes two faces from the exposed total, so \(SA=24-2(3)=18\,\text{cm}^2\).

- Write formulas for prism volume, lateral area, and total surface area. - Which surfaces depend on the prism's height? - The two bases do not change when the height changes. - Compare the new surface-area expression with three times the original expression.

1. The original volume is \(V=Bh\). With height \(3h\), the new volume is \(V''=B(3h)=3V\). 2. The original lateral area is \(A_{\text{lat}}=ph\). The new lateral area is \(A''_{\text{lat}}=p(3h)=3A_{\text{lat}}\). 3. The original total surface area is \(SA=2B+A_{\text{lat}}\), while the new total surface area is \(SA''=2B+3A_{\text{lat}}\). 4. Three times the original surface area would be \(3SA=6B+3A_{\text{lat}}\). Since \(B>0\), \(2B+3A_{\text{lat}}<6B+3A_{\text{lat}}\). 5. Therefore, the total surface area increases but does not triple because the two bases do not change.

a) The volume triples: \(V''=3V\). b) The lateral area triples: \(A''_{\text{lat}}=3A_{\text{lat}}\). c) The claim is false. The lateral area triples, but the two unchanged bases prevent the total surface area from tripling.

a) \(30.16\,\text{m}^2\) b) \(3\) cans

- How are milliliters and cubic centimeters related? - Rearrange the volume formula to solve for the radius. - The label's dimensions are the can's circumference and height. - Keep unrounded values until the final rounding step in each part.

1. Since \(1\,\text{mL}=1\,\text{cm}^3\), the volume is \(425\,\text{cm}^3\). 2. From \(V=\pi r^2h\), \(r=\sqrt{\frac{425}{10\pi}}\,\text{cm}\approx3.678\,\text{cm}\). Thus, \(d=2r\approx7.356\,\text{cm}\), which rounds to \(7.4\,\text{cm}\). 3. Using the unrounded radius, the lateral area is \(A_{\text{lat}}=2\pi rh\approx231.0997\,\text{cm}^2\), which rounds to \(231.1\,\text{cm}^2\).

1. The cylinder has radius \(r=0.20\,\text{m}\) and height \(h=0.80\,\text{m}\). 2. The curved lateral area is \(A_{\text{lat}}=2\pi rh=2\pi\cdot0.20\cdot0.80=0.32\pi\,\text{m}^2\). 3. The top area is \(B=\pi r^2=0.04\pi\,\text{m}^2\). 4. The coated area is \(A=A_{\text{lat}}+B=0.36\pi\,\text{m}^2\approx1.1310\,\text{m}^2\). 5. One liter covers \(0.25\,\text{m}^2\), so the required amount is \(\frac{0.36\pi}{0.25}=1.44\pi\,\text{L}\approx4.5239\,\text{L}\). Therefore, at least \(5\,\text{L}\) of coating is needed.

About \(3.6\,\text{L}\)

Its lateral area is \(A_{\text{lat},B}=2\pi r_B\cdot60\,\text{cm}\approx6139.96\,\text{cm}^2\). 6. Since \(5013.26<6139.96\), container A has the smaller lateral area.

- First solve each volume formula for the missing height. - Total surface area includes the lateral area and both bases. - Compare the final surface areas.

1. Convert the volume: \(1\,\text{L}=1000\,\text{cm}^3\). 2. For model A, \(1000=\pi(5)^2h_A\), so \(h_A=\frac{40}{\pi}\,\text{cm}\approx12.73\,\text{cm}\). 3. Its surface area is \(SA_A=2\pi\cdot5^2+2\pi\cdot5\cdot\left(\frac{40}{\pi}\right)\,\text{cm}^2=50\pi+400\,\text{cm}^2\approx557.08\,\text{cm}^2\). 4. For model B, \(1000=10^2h_B\), so \(h_B=10\,\text{cm}\). 5. Its surface area is \(SA_B=2\cdot10^2+4\cdot10\cdot10\,\text{cm}^2=600\,\text{cm}^2\). 6. Since \(557.08<600\), model A uses less material.

Model A has the smaller surface area: about \(557.08\,\text{cm}^2\), compared with \(600\,\text{cm}^2\) for model B.

Therefore, \(A_{\text{lat},1}>A_{\text{lat},2}\), and \(A_{\text{lat},1}:A_{\text{lat},2}=80\pi:40\pi=2:1\).

Cylinder \(C_1\) has the greater lateral area, and \(A_{\text{lat},1}:A_{\text{lat},2}=2:1\).

- Convert measurements to compatible units before calculating. - Use cubic decimeters when the volume is requested in liters. - Which cylinder surfaces are included when the top is excluded?

1. For volume, use \(r=4\,\text{dm}\) and \(h=10\,\text{dm}\): \(V=\pi\cdot4^2\cdot10\,\text{dm}^3=160\pi\,\text{dm}^3\approx502.7\,\text{L}\). 2. In meters, \(r=0.40\,\text{m}\) and \(h=1.0\,\text{m}\). The lateral area is \(A_{\text{lat}}=2\pi\cdot0.40\cdot1.0\,\text{m}^2=0.8\pi\,\text{m}^2\approx2.51\,\text{m}^2\). 3. The painted area includes the lateral surface and one circular base: \(A=0.8\pi+\pi(0.40)^2\,\text{m}^2=0.96\pi\,\text{m}^2\approx3.02\,\text{m}^2\).

a) \(502.7\,\text{L}\) b) \(2.51\,\text{m}^2\) c) \(3.02\,\text{m}^2\)

- Convert diameter to radius. - Add the wall thickness to the inside radius to get the outside radius. - List the two annular ends and both curved surfaces. - Convert all measurements to centimeters first.

1. Convert to centimeters. The inside radius is \(r=2\,\text{cm}\), the outside radius is \(R=3\,\text{cm}\), and the length is \(h=8\,\text{cm}\). 2. The steel volume is \(V=\pi(R^2-r^2)h=\pi(3^2-2^2)\cdot8\,\text{cm}^3=40\pi\,\text{cm}^3\approx125.66\,\text{cm}^3\). 3. The total surface area includes two annular ends, the outside lateral surface, and the inside lateral surface: \(SA=2\pi(R^2-r^2)+2\pi Rh+2\pi rh\). 4. Thus, \(SA=2\pi\cdot5+2\pi\cdot3\cdot8+2\pi\cdot2\cdot8\,\text{cm}^2=90\pi\,\text{cm}^2\approx282.74\,\text{cm}^2\).

The volume is \(40\pi\,\text{cm}^3\approx125.66\,\text{cm}^3\), and the total surface area is \(90\pi\,\text{cm}^2\approx282.74\,\text{cm}^2\).

- Use the cylinder formulas for volume and total surface area. - For part c, substitute the new radius and height into both formulas. - Remember that the radius is squared in the volume formula. - Compare each new result with its original value.

1. The volume is \(V=\pi r^2h=\pi\cdot5^2\cdot12=300\pi\,\text{cm}^3\approx942.48\,\text{cm}^3\). 2. The total surface area is \(SA=2\pi r^2+2\pi rh=2\pi\cdot5^2+2\pi\cdot5\cdot12=170\pi\,\text{cm}^2\approx534.07\,\text{cm}^2\). 3. After the changes, the radius is \(2.5\,\text{cm}\) and the height is \(24\,\text{cm}\). 4. The new volume is \(V_{\text{new}}=\pi\cdot2.5^2\cdot24=150\pi\,\text{cm}^3\approx471.24\,\text{cm}^3\), which is half the original volume. 5. The new total surface area is \(SA_{\text{new}}=2\pi\cdot2.5^2+2\pi\cdot2.5\cdot24=132.5\pi\,\text{cm}^2\approx416.26\,\text{cm}^2\), so the surface area decreases.

a) \(300\pi\,\text{cm}^3\approx942.48\,\text{cm}^3\) b) \(SA=170\pi\,\text{cm}^2\approx534.07\,\text{cm}^2\) c) The volume is halved to \(150\pi\,\text{cm}^3\approx471.24\,\text{cm}^3\), and the total surface area decreases to \(132.5\pi\,\text{cm}^2\approx416.26\,\text{cm}^2\).

1. The volume of \(Z_1\) is \(V_1=\pi\cdot4^2\cdot9=144\pi\,\text{cm}^3\). 2. Equal volumes give \(144\pi=\pi r_2^2\cdot4\). Therefore, \(r_2^2=36\), so \(r_2=6\,\text{cm}\). 3. The lateral surface area of a cylinder is \(A_{\text{lat}}=2\pi rh\). 4. For \(Z_1\), \(A_{\text{lat},1}=2\pi\cdot4\cdot9=72\pi\,\text{cm}^2\approx226.19\,\text{cm}^2\). 5. For \(Z_2\), \(A_{\text{lat},2}=2\pi\cdot6\cdot4=48\pi\,\text{cm}^2\approx150.80\,\text{cm}^2\). 6. Since \(72\pi>48\pi\), cylinder \(Z_1\) has the greater lateral surface area.

a) The radius of \(Z_2\) is \(6\,\text{cm}\). b) Cylinder \(Z_1\) has the greater lateral surface area: \(72\pi\,\text{cm}^2\approx226.19\,\text{cm}^2\), compared with \(48\pi\,\text{cm}^2\approx150.80\,\text{cm}^2\) for \(Z_2\).

The volume is \(V=\pi r^2h=\pi\cdot0.50^2\cdot1.50\approx1.17810\,\text{m}^3\). 3. Since \(1\,\text{m}^3=1{,}000\,\text{L}\), the capacity is approximately \(1{,}178.10\,\text{L}\). 4. The total surface area is \(SA=2\pi r^2+2\pi rh=2\pi r(r+h)\). Thus, \(SA=2\pi\cdot0.50\cdot(0.50+1.50)=2\pi\approx6.28\,\text{m}^2\).

Since \(B=\pi r^2\), \(r=\sqrt{\frac{B}{\pi}}=\sqrt{\frac{68}{\pi}}\approx4.6524\,\text{cm}\), so \(r\approx4.7\,\text{cm}\). 3. Use the unrounded radius for the lateral area: \(A_{\text{lat}}=2\pi rh=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{68}{\pi}}(12.5)\approx365.4007\,\text{cm}^2\), so \(A_{\text{lat}}\approx365.4\,\text{cm}^2\).

1. The slant height of the original pyramid is \(\sqrt{3^2+4^2}=5\,\text{cm}\). 2. The small pyramid has linear scale factor \(\frac{1}{2}\), so its base edge is \(4\,\text{cm}\) and its slant height is \(2.5\,\text{cm}\). 3. Its lateral area is \(4\left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot4\cdot2.5\right)=20\,\text{cm}^2\). 4. The original pyramid’s lateral area is \(4\left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot8\cdot5\right)=80\,\text{cm}^2\), so the frustum’s lateral area is \(80-20=60\,\text{cm}^2\). 5. Add the two square bases: \(60+8^2+4^2=60+64+16=140\,\text{cm}^2\).

1. The horizontal difference between the radii is \(35-15=20\,\text{cm}\). 2. The slant height is \(\ell=\sqrt{21^2+20^2}=\sqrt{841}=29\,\text{cm}\). 3. The lateral area is \(A_{\text{lat}}=\pi(r_1+r_2)\ell=\pi(35+15)\cdot29=1{,}450\pi\approx4{,}555.31\,\text{cm}^2\).

The lampshade requires approximately \(4{,}555.31\,\text{cm}^2\) of material.

- A regular tetrahedron has four congruent equilateral triangular faces. - Relate the area of one equilateral triangle to its side length. - Use the Pythagorean theorem or the standard equilateral-triangle altitude formula.

1. A regular tetrahedron has four equilateral triangular faces, so its total surface area is \(SA=4\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a^2\right)=a^2\sqrt{3}\). 2. Set \(a^2\sqrt{3}=144\sqrt{3}\). Then \(a^2=144\), so \(a=12\,\text{cm}\). 3. The altitude of an equilateral triangle is \(h_a=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}a\). 4. Therefore, \(h_a=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}(12)=6\sqrt{3}\,\text{cm}\approx10.39\,\text{cm}\).

a) \(a=12\,\text{cm}\) b) \(h_a=6\sqrt{3}\,\text{cm}\approx10.39\,\text{cm}\)

- Begin with the area of one equilateral triangular face. - Account for the number of congruent faces. - Square the decimal edge length before multiplying by \(\sqrt{3}\).

1. An equilateral triangle with side length \(a\) has altitude \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}a\). 2. Its area is \(A=\frac{1}{2}a\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}a\right)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a^2\). 3. A regular tetrahedron has four such faces, so \(SA=4\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a^2\right)=a^2\sqrt{3}\). 4. For \(a=8.5\,\text{cm}\), \(SA=(8.5)^2\sqrt{3}=72.25\sqrt{3}\approx125.1407\,\text{cm}^2\). 5. Rounded to the nearest tenth, \(SA\approx125.1\,\text{cm}^2\).

a) \(SA=4\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a^2\right)=a^2\sqrt{3}\) b) \(SA\approx125.1\,\text{cm}^2\)

- Solve the cone-frustum volume formula for the height. - In a cross section, use the height and the difference of the radii to find the slant height. - Include both circular bases and the curved lateral surface in the total surface area.

1. Use \(V=\frac{1}{3}\pi h(r_1^2+r_1r_2+r_2^2)\): \(65\pi=\frac{1}{3}\pi h(25+10+4)=13\pi h\), so \(h=5\,\text{cm}\). 2. The slant height is \(\ell=\sqrt{h^2+(r_1-r_2)^2}=\sqrt{5^2+3^2}=\sqrt{34}\approx5.83\,\text{cm}\). 3. The total surface area is the two circular bases plus the lateral area: \(SA=\pi r_1^2+\pi r_2^2+\pi(r_1+r_2)\ell\). 4. Thus, \(SA=\pi\left(25+4+7\sqrt{34}\right)\approx219.34\,\text{cm}^2\).

a) \(h=5\,\text{cm}\) b) \(\ell\approx5.83\,\text{cm}\) c) \(SA\approx219.34\,\text{cm}^2\)

1. The radii are \(14\,\text{cm}\) and \(10\,\text{cm}\). 2. The volume is \(V=\frac{1}{3}\pi\cdot24\left(14^2+14\cdot10+10^2\right)=3{,}488\pi\approx10{,}957.88\,\text{cm}^3\). 3. Therefore, the capacity is approximately \(10.9579\,\text{L}\), which rounds to \(11.0\,\text{L}\). 4. The slant height is \(\ell=\sqrt{24^2+(14-10)^2}=\sqrt{592}\approx24.3311\,\text{cm}\). 5. The lateral area is \(A_{\text{lat}}=\pi(14+10)\ell\approx1{,}834.52\,\text{cm}^2\), and the bottom area is \(B=\pi\cdot10^2\approx314.16\,\text{cm}^2\). 6.

1. The square base area is \(B=6^2=36\,\text{cm}^2\), so \(V=\frac{1}{3}Bh=\frac{1}{3}\cdot36\cdot4=48\,\text{cm}^3\). 2. The slant height is \(\ell=\sqrt{4^2+3^2}=5\,\text{cm}\). 3. The four triangular faces have total lateral area \(A_{\text{lat}}=4\left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot6\cdot5\right)=60\,\text{cm}^2\). 4. Therefore, \(SA=B+A_{\text{lat}}=36+60=96\,\text{cm}^2\).

a) \(V=48\,\text{cm}^3\) b) \(\ell=5\,\text{cm}\); \(SA=96\,\text{cm}^2\)

- Use the cylinder volume formula for each can. - A closed can's total surface area includes two circular bases and the lateral surface. - Compare the calculated areas, not only the dimensions.

1. For can A, \(V_A=\pi\cdot4^2\cdot10=160\pi\,\text{cm}^3\approx502.7\,\text{cm}^3\). 2. For can B, \(V_B=\pi\cdot5^2\cdot6.4=160\pi\,\text{cm}^3\approx502.7\,\text{cm}^3\). The cans have equal volumes. 3. Can A has total surface area \(SA_A=2\pi\cdot4^2+2\pi\cdot4\cdot10=112\pi\,\text{cm}^2\approx351.9\,\text{cm}^2\). 4. Can B has total surface area \(SA_B=2\pi\cdot5^2+2\pi\cdot5\cdot6.4=114\pi\,\text{cm}^2\approx358.1\,\text{cm}^2\). 5. Because \(SA_A<SA_B\), can A requires less material.

a) Both volumes are \(160\pi\,\text{cm}^3\approx502.7\,\text{cm}^3\). b) Can A requires less material. Its total surface area is about \(351.9\,\text{cm}^2\), compared with about \(358.1\,\text{cm}^2\) for can B.

The volume is \(V=\pi r^2h=\pi\cdot5^2\cdot12=300\pi\,\text{cm}^3\approx942.48\,\text{cm}^3\). 4. Since \(1000\,\text{cm}^3=1\,\text{L}\), the volume is about \(0.94\,\text{L}\).

a) \(377.0\,\text{cm}^2\) b) \(0.94\,\text{L}\)

- Use the rectangular base area in the pyramid volume formula. - The pyramid has two pairs of lateral faces with different slant heights. - For each slant height, use the vertical height and half of the other base dimension. - Include the base and all four triangular faces in the total surface area.

1. The base area is \(B=18\cdot10=180\,\text{cm}^2\), so \(V=\frac{1}{3}\cdot180\cdot12=720\,\text{cm}^3\). 2. For the faces with base \(18\,\text{cm}\), \(\ell_a=\sqrt{12^2+5^2}=13\,\text{cm}\). 3. For the faces with base \(10\,\text{cm}\), \(\ell_b=\sqrt{12^2+9^2}=15\,\text{cm}\). 4. The lateral area is \(A_{\text{lat}}=2\left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot18\cdot13\right)+2\left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot10\cdot15\right)=234+150=384\,\text{cm}^2\). Therefore, \(SA=180+384=564\,\text{cm}^2\).

a) \(V=720\,\text{cm}^3\) b) \(\ell_a=13\,\text{cm}\); \(\ell_b=15\,\text{cm}\) c) \(SA=564\,\text{cm}^2\)

- Use the cylinder formulas for volume and lateral surface area. - One cubic decimeter equals one liter. - The barrel is open, so include only one circular base in part c. - Round only the final results.

1. The maximum volume is \(V=\pi r^2h=\pi\cdot3^2\cdot8=72\pi\,\text{dm}^3\approx226.2\,\text{dm}^3\). Since \(1\,\text{dm}^3=1\,\text{L}\), the capacity is about \(226.2\,\text{L}\). 2. The lateral surface area is \(A_{\text{lat}}=2\pi rh=2\pi\cdot3\cdot8=48\pi\,\text{dm}^2\approx150.8\,\text{dm}^2\). 3. Because the barrel has no top, the material area is one circular base plus the lateral surface: \(A=\pi\cdot3^2+48\pi=57\pi\,\text{dm}^2\approx179.1\,\text{dm}^2\).

a) \(226.2\,\text{L}\) b) \(150.8\,\text{dm}^2\) c) \(179.1\,\text{dm}^2\)

- The lateral surface consists of the faces that are not the two triangular bases. - You need all three side lengths of the triangular base. - Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the missing side.

1. Find the hypotenuse of the triangular base: \(c=\sqrt{6^2+8^2}=\sqrt{100}=10\,\text{cm}\). 2. The perimeter of the base is \(P=6+8+10=24\,\text{cm}\). 3. Let the prism length be \(L=12\,\text{cm}\). The lateral surface area of a right prism is the base perimeter times the prism length: \(A_{\text{lat}}=PL=24\cdot12=288\,\text{cm}^2\).

The lateral surface area is \(288\,\text{cm}^2\).

- In the net, which sector length becomes the cone's slant height? - The sector's curved edge must equal the circumference of the circular base. - Compare that arc length with the circumference of a full circle whose radius is the sector radius. - Use the same fraction of the full circle's area to get the sector area.

1. The net shows base radius \(r=5\,\text{cm}\) and sector radius \(\ell=13\,\text{cm}\). The sector radius becomes the cone's slant height. 2. The sector's arc becomes the circumference of the cone's base, so its arc length is \(2\pi(5)=10\pi\,\text{cm}\). 3. A full circle of radius \(13\,\text{cm}\) has circumference \(2\pi(13)=26\pi\,\text{cm}\). Therefore, the sector is \(\frac{10\pi}{26\pi}=\frac{5}{13}\) of a full circle. 4. The sector area is \(\frac{5}{13}\pi(13)^2=65\pi\,\text{cm}^2\). 5. The base area is \(\pi(5)^2=25\pi\,\text{cm}^2\), so \(SA=65\pi+25\pi=90\pi\,\text{cm}^2\).

The sector is \(\frac{5}{13}\) of a full circle, and the cone's exact total surface area is \(90\pi\,\text{cm}^2\).

- Pay attention to the direction of the fold lines in the strip. - Track how the orientation of each successive square changes as you imagine folding. - Check whether six distinct cube-face positions can be reached without overlap.

1. Every shared fold edge in the straight strip is parallel to the others. 2. After folding through right angles, every square still contains a direction parallel to those hinge edges. The squares can wrap around the four side-face positions of a cube, but none can turn into either end face. 3. Once four distinct side positions have been used, another square must repeat an already occupied face position instead of creating a new cube face. 4. Therefore, the six-square strip is not a net of a cube.

No. Because all fold edges are parallel, the strip can only wrap around side-face positions; it cannot form the two end faces. After four distinct side positions, another square must repeat an occupied position.

1. Each disk has surface area \(SA_i=2\pi r_i^2+2\pi r_i\cdot1\). 2. The sum for the separate disks is \(2\pi[(5^2+5)+(6^2+6)+(7^2+7)+(8^2+8)+(9^2+9)]\,\text{cm}^2=580\pi\,\text{cm}^2\approx1822.12\,\text{cm}^2\). 3. In the stack, the visible horizontal surfaces on top combine to the area of the largest disk, \(81\pi\,\text{cm}^2\). The visible bottom also has area \(81\pi\,\text{cm}^2\). 4. All five lateral surfaces remain visible and have total area \(2\pi\cdot1\cdot(5+6+7+8+9)\,\text{cm}^2=70\pi\,\text{cm}^2\). 5. The visible surface area is \(81\pi+81\pi+70\pi=232\pi\,\text{cm}^2\approx728.85\,\text{cm}^2\).

- What fraction of the cylinder remains after a \(60^\circ\) wedge is removed? - Which surfaces were already exposed, and which new surfaces are created by the cuts? - What shapes are the two cut faces?

1. The radius is \(r=12\,\text{cm}\). Removing \(60^\circ\) leaves \(300^\circ\), or \(\frac{5}{6}\), of the cylinder. 2. The remaining volume is \(V=\frac{5}{6}\pi\cdot12^2\cdot10\,\text{cm}^3=1200\pi\,\text{cm}^3\approx3769.91\,\text{cm}^3\). 3. The combined top and bottom area is \(2\cdot\frac{5}{6}\pi\cdot12^2\,\text{cm}^2=240\pi\,\text{cm}^2\). 4. The remaining curved lateral area is \(\frac{5}{6}\cdot2\pi\cdot12\cdot10\,\text{cm}^2=200\pi\,\text{cm}^2\). 5. The two rectangular cut faces have combined area \(2\cdot12\cdot10\,\text{cm}^2=240\,\text{cm}^2\). 6. The total surface area is \(240\pi+200\pi+240\,\text{cm}^2=440\pi+240\,\text{cm}^2\approx1622.30\,\text{cm}^2\).

a) \(1200\pi\,\text{cm}^3\approx3769.91\,\text{cm}^3\) b) \((440\pi+240)\,\text{cm}^2\approx1622.30\,\text{cm}^2\)

- Solve the cylinder volume formula for height. - Total surface area includes two circles and the lateral rectangle. - Compare the unrounded surface areas before choosing the design for part c. - Multiply by the number of cans, include the waste percentage, and then convert square centimeters to square meters.

1. Since \(425\,\text{mL}=425\,\text{cm}^3\), \(h_A=\frac{425}{\pi(3.5)^2}\,\text{cm}\approx11.04\,\text{cm}\), and \(h_B=\frac{425}{\pi(4.2)^2}\,\text{cm}\approx7.67\,\text{cm}\). 2. Using \(SA=2\pi r^2+2\pi rh\), can A has \(SA_A\approx319.83\,\text{cm}^2\), and can B has \(SA_B\approx313.22\,\text{cm}^2\). Can B uses less metal. 3. Using the unrounded surface area for can B, the metal for \(1000\) cans including \(15\%\) waste is \(1000\cdot SA_B\cdot1.15\approx360{,}198.79\,\text{cm}^2\). Since \(10{,}000\,\text{cm}^2=1\,\text{m}^2\), this is approximately \(36.02\,\text{m}^2\).

- Identify which original surfaces change when the hole is drilled. - Find the surface area of the solid cylinder first. - The wall of the hole is a new lateral surface. - Use \(\frac{\text{new}-\text{original}}{\text{original}}\cdot100\%\) for percent increase.

1. The original cylinder has surface area \(SA_{\text{old}}=2\pi r^2+2\pi rh=2\pi\cdot6^2+2\pi\cdot6\cdot15=252\pi\,\text{cm}^2\). 2. After drilling, the two circular faces become annuli with total area \(2\pi(6^2-2^2)=64\pi\,\text{cm}^2\). 3. The outside lateral area remains \(2\pi\cdot6\cdot15=180\pi\,\text{cm}^2\), and the hole adds an inside lateral area of \(2\pi\cdot2\cdot15=60\pi\,\text{cm}^2\). 4. The new total surface area is \(SA_{\text{new}}=64\pi+180\pi+60\pi=304\pi\,\text{cm}^2\). 5. The percent increase is \(\frac{304\pi-252\pi}{252\pi}\cdot100\%\approx20.6\%\).

The total surface area increases by \(20.6\%\).

- Subtract the cylindrical hole from the prism when finding volume. - For surface area, include both drilled square faces, the four outside rectangular faces, and the inside wall of the hole. - Convert the hole's diameter to its radius.

1. The square cross-sectional area is \(10^2=100\,\text{cm}^2\). The hole has radius \(3\,\text{cm}\) and cross-sectional area \(9\pi\,\text{cm}^2\). 2. The remaining volume is \(V=(100-9\pi)\cdot20=2000-180\pi\,\text{cm}^3\approx1434.51\,\text{cm}^3\). 3. The two drilled square faces have total area \(2\cdot(100-9\pi)\,\text{cm}^2\). 4. The four outside rectangular faces have total area \(4\cdot10\cdot20=800\,\text{cm}^2\), and the inside wall of the hole has area \(2\pi\cdot3\cdot20=120\pi\,\text{cm}^2\). 5. Therefore, \(SA=2\cdot(100-9\pi)+800+120\pi=1000+102\pi\,\text{cm}^2\approx1320.44\,\text{cm}^2\).

a) \(2000-180\pi\,\text{cm}^3\approx1434.51\,\text{cm}^3\) b) \(SA=1000+102\pi\,\text{cm}^2\approx1320.44\,\text{cm}^2\)

- Which parts make up the total surface area of a closed cylinder? - Which of those areas can you calculate directly from the radius? - Once you know the lateral area, how can you find the height? - Which measurements are needed to calculate the volume?

1. The area of one circular base is \(B=\pi r^2=\pi\cdot4.2^2\approx55.4177\,\text{cm}^2\). 2. The lateral area is \(A_{\text{lat}}=SA-2B=540-2\pi\cdot4.2^2\approx429.1646\,\text{cm}^2\). 3. Since \(A_{\text{lat}}=2\pi rh\), \(h=\frac{A_{\text{lat}}}{2\pi r}=\frac{540-2\pi\cdot4.2^2}{2\pi\cdot4.2}\approx16.2628\,\text{cm}\). Thus, \(h\approx16.3\,\text{cm}\). 4. The volume is \(V=\pi r^2h\approx\pi\cdot4.2^2\cdot16.2628\approx901.2457\,\text{cm}^3\). Thus, \(V\approx901.2\,\text{cm}^3\).

\(h\approx16.3\,\text{cm}\); \(V\approx901.2\,\text{cm}^3\)

- Use the ratio of the cross-sectional area to the base area to find the linear scale factor. - Distinguish the distance from the apex from the distance from the base. - Use a right triangle containing the vertical height and half a base edge to find the slant height. - The total surface area includes the square base and four triangular faces.

1. The original base area is \(B=12^2=144\,\text{cm}^2\). 2. Let \(k\) be the linear scale factor from the original pyramid to the smaller pyramid above the cut. Since areas scale by \(k^2\), \(k^2=36\div144=\frac{1}{4}\), so \(k=\frac{1}{2}\). 3. The smaller pyramid's height is \(\frac{1}{2}\cdot8=4\,\text{cm}\). Therefore, the cross section is \(8-4=4\,\text{cm}\) above the original base. 4. The original pyramid's slant height is \(\ell=\sqrt{8^2+6^2}=10\,\text{cm}\). 5. Its lateral area is \(A_{\text{lat}}=4\left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot12\cdot10\right)=240\,\text{cm}^2\). 6. The total surface area is \(SA=144+240=384\,\text{cm}^2\).

The cross section is \(4\,\text{cm}\) from the base. The original pyramid's total surface area is \(384\,\text{cm}^2\).

- Use the volume formula for a pyramid frustum and solve for the unknown height. - Convert all measurements to compatible units before calculating. - For part b, use the Pythagorean theorem to find the slant height of a lateral face. - Only the four lateral faces are painted.

1. Convert the volume: \(28\,\text{dm}^3=28{,}000\,\text{cm}^3\). 2. For a square-pyramid frustum, \(V=\frac{h}{3}\left(a^2+ab+b^2\right)\). Thus, \(28{,}000=\frac{h}{3}\left(40^2+40\cdot20+20^2\right)=\frac{2{,}800h}{3}\). 3. Solving gives \(h=30\,\text{cm}\). 4. The horizontal offset for a lateral face is \(\frac{40-20}{2}=10\,\text{cm}\), so its slant height is \(\ell=\sqrt{30^2+10^2}=10\sqrt{10}\approx31.6228\,\text{cm}\). 5. One lateral face has area \(\frac{40+20}{2}\ell=30\ell\). The four faces have total lateral area \(A_{\text{lat}}=120\ell=1{,}200\sqrt{10}\approx3{,}794.7\,\text{cm}^2\).

a) \(h=30\,\text{cm}\) b) The area to be painted is approximately \(3{,}794.7\,\text{cm}^2\).

- Use similarity to find the dimensions of the smaller pyramid. - Areas scale by the square of the linear scale factor. - The frustum's lateral area can be found by subtracting the small pyramid's lateral area from the original pyramid's lateral area. - Include the cut face in the surface area of both resulting solids.

1. The small pyramid has linear scale factor \(k=6\div8=\frac{3}{4}\). 2. Its base edge is \(\frac{3}{4}\cdot12=9\,\text{cm}\), so the cross-sectional area is \(9^2=81\,\text{cm}^2\). 3. The original pyramid's slant height is \(\ell=\sqrt{8^2+6^2}=10\,\text{cm}\). 4. The small pyramid's slant height is \(\frac{3}{4}\cdot10=7.5\,\text{cm}\). 5. The small pyramid's total surface area is \(81+4\left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot9\cdot7.5\right)=81+135=216\,\text{cm}^2\). 6. The original lateral area is \(4\left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot12\cdot10\right)=240\,\text{cm}^2\), and the small pyramid's lateral area is \(135\,\text{cm}^2\). Thus, the frustum's lateral area is \(105\,\text{cm}^2\). 7. The frustum's total surface area is \(12^2+9^2+105=144+81+105=330\,\text{cm}^2\).

Cross-sectional area: \(81\,\text{cm}^2\) Small pyramid surface area: \(216\,\text{cm}^2\) Frustum surface area: \(330\,\text{cm}^2\)

- Find the side length of the square cross section from its area. - Use the ratio of corresponding edge lengths to find the smaller pyramid's scale factor. - Distinguish the distance from the apex from the height above the base. - Include both square bases and the four trapezoidal lateral faces in the frustum's surface area.

1. The cross-section edge length is \(\sqrt{36}=6\,\text{cm}\). 2. The small pyramid above the cut has linear scale factor \(k=6\div18=\frac{1}{3}\). 3. Its height is \(\frac{1}{3}\cdot12=4\,\text{cm}\), so the cut is \(12-4=8\,\text{cm}\) above the original base. 4. The original pyramid's slant height is \(\ell=\sqrt{12^2+9^2}=15\,\text{cm}\). 5. The small pyramid's slant height is \(\frac{1}{3}\cdot15=5\,\text{cm}\). 6. The frustum's lateral area is \(4\left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot18\cdot15\right)-4\left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot6\cdot5\right)=540-60=480\,\text{cm}^2\). 7. The total surface area is \(18^2+6^2+480=840\,\text{cm}^2\).

The cut is \(8\,\text{cm}\) above the base. The frustum's total surface area is \(840\,\text{cm}^2\).

- Write formulas for lateral surface area and the area of one base. - Translate the stated relationship into an equation. - Simplify the equation before substituting the height. - After finding the radius, use the volume and total surface area formulas.

1. The lateral surface area is \(A_{\text{lat}}=2\pi rh\), and one base has area \(B=\pi r^2\). Since \(A_{\text{lat}}=3B\), \(2\pi rh=3\pi r^2\). 2. Because \(r>0\), divide by \(\pi r\) to get \(2h=3r\). With \(h=15\), \(r=10\,\text{cm}\). 3. The volume is \(V=\pi\cdot10^2\cdot15=1500\pi\,\text{cm}^3\approx4712.4\,\text{cm}^3\). 4. The total surface area is \(SA=2\pi\cdot10^2+2\pi\cdot10\cdot15=500\pi\,\text{cm}^2\approx1570.8\,\text{cm}^2\).

a) \(10\,\text{cm}\) b) \(4712.4\,\text{cm}^3\) c) \(1570.8\,\text{cm}^2\)

- Replace the height in the volume formula with an expression involving the radius. - Isolate \(r^3\), then take a cube root. - Total surface area includes two bases and the lateral surface. - Round only the decimal approximation.

1. Since \(h=2r\), the volume equation becomes \(250\pi=\pi r^2(2r)=2\pi r^3\). Divide by \(2\pi\): \(r^3=125\), so \(r=5\,\text{cm}\). 2. The height is \(h=2\cdot5=10\,\text{cm}\). The total surface area is \(SA=2\pi r^2+2\pi rh=2\pi\cdot5^2+2\pi\cdot5\cdot10=150\pi\,\text{cm}^2\approx471.24\,\text{cm}^2\).

1) \(r=5\,\text{cm}\) 2) \(SA=150\pi\,\text{cm}^2\approx471.24\,\text{cm}^2\)

- Express total surface area as the two square bases plus four rectangular side faces. - After isolating \(h\), use positive dimensions to determine the physically meaningful domain. - Substitute the height expression into \(V=a^2h\) before evaluating either requested base length.

1. The surface area equation is \(1000=2a^2+4ah\). Solving for height gives \(h(a)=\frac{250}{a}-0.5a\). 2. A physical prism requires \(a>0\) and \(h(a)>0\). Thus \(\frac{250}{a}-0.5a>0\), which gives \(a^2<500\). Therefore \(0<a<10\sqrt{5}\). 3. Since \(V=a^2h\), substitute the height expression: \(V(a)=a^2\left(\frac{250}{a}-0.5a\right)=250a-0.5a^3\). 4. Evaluate: \(V(5)=1187.5\,\text{cm}^3\) and \(V(15)=2062.5\,\text{cm}^3\). The prism with \(a=15\,\text{cm}\) has the greater volume.

a) \(h(a)=\frac{250}{a}-0.5a\), for \(0<a<10\sqrt{5}\) b) \(V(a)=250a-0.5a^3\) c) \(V(5)=1187.5\,\text{cm}^3\); \(V(15)=2062.5\,\text{cm}^3\). The prism with \(a=15\,\text{cm}\) has the greater volume.
