Question 5:
Sphere below has a surface area of 221.76 cm2.

Calculate its radius.

(π=227)(π=227)

Solution:
Surface area of sphere = 4πr2
2 2 2 2 4π

4πr =221.764×227×r =221.76r =221.76×74×22r =17.64r=√ 17.64 r=4.2cm

r2=221.764×227×r2=221.76r2=221.76×74×22r2=17.64r=17.64r=4.2cm

Question 6:
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
