6.4.2 Surface Area of Three Dimensional Shapes, PT3 Focus Practice

Question 4:
Sphere below has a surface area of 221.76 cm2.


Calculate its radius.
( π = 22 7 )

Solution:
Surface area of sphere = 4πr2
4 π r 2 = 221.76 4 × 22 7 × r 2 = 221.76 r 2 = 221.76 × 7 4 × 22 r 2 = 17.64 r = 17.64 r = 4.2 cm


Question 5:
Diagram below shows a right pyramid with a square base.

Given the height of the pyramid is 4 cm.
Calculate the total surface area, in cm2, of the right pyramid.

Solution:
h2 = 32 + 42
= 9 + 16
= 25
h = √25   = 5 cm2

Total surface area of the right pyramid
= Base area + 4 (Area of triangle)
= (6 × 6) + 4 × 4 (½ × 6 × 5)
= 36 + 60
= 96 cm2
