  1. 2πr^2
  2. 3πr^2 ✓ (correct)
  3. πr^2
  4. 4πr^2

Q8. What is the volume of a cylinder with radius r and height h?

  1. πr^2h ✓ (correct)
  2. 2πrh
  3. πrh^2
  4. πr^2

Q9. What is the total surface area of a cylinder with radius r and height h?

  1. 2πrh
  2. 2πr^2 + 2πrh ✓ (correct)
  3. 2πr^2
  4. πr^2h

Q10. What is the volume of a cone with radius r and height h?

  1. πr^2h
  2. (1/3)πr^2h ✓ (correct)
  3. (2/3)πr^2h
  4. πrh

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the volume of a cone compare to a cylinder with same radius and height?

The volume of a cone is one-third the volume of a cylinder with the same radius and height. This is because Vcone = (1/3)πr^2h and Vcylinder = πr^2h.

What is the formula for the curved surface area of a hemisphere?

The curved surface area of a hemisphere (not including the base) is 2πr^2. If you include the circular base, the total surface area is 3πr^2.
