Solution:
(a) Total surface area of the prism = (2  30 + 75 + 180 + 195) cm2 1M
= 510 cm2 1A

(b) (i) Let h cm be the height of the prism.


30  h = 450 1M+1A
h = 15
∴ The height of the prism is 15 cm. 1A

(ii) Let p cm be the perimeter of the base.


Total area of all lateral faces = (75 + 180 + 195) cm2 = 450 cm2 1M
∴ p  15 = 450 1M
p = 30
∴ The perimeter of the base is 30 cm. 1A

(a) Find the total surface area of the log.
(b) After removing 40% of the wood from the log, a statue is made. Find the volume of the statue.
(7 marks)
Solution:
(a) Total area of the two bases = 2  (5  3.2) m2 1M
= 32 m2 1A
Total area of all lateral faces = [2  (5 + 4)]  8 m2 1M

Total surface area = (32 + 144) m2
= 176 m2 1A

(b) Volume of the statue = 5  3.2  8  (1 − 40%) m3 1M

Peter has a gold block in the shape of a prism and it weighs 48 kg. He finds that the height of the
prism is 12.5 cm. If 1 cm3 of gold weighs 19.2 g, find the area of the base.
(6 marks)
Solution:
Let V cm3 be the volume of the prism.
Weight of the prism = 48 kg
V  19.2 g = 48 000 g 1M+1A
V = 2 500 1A
∴ The volume of the prism is 2 500 cm3.
Let A cm2 be the area of the base.
Volume of the prism = 2 500 cm3
A  12.5 = 2 500 1M+1A
A = 200
∴ The area of the base is 200 cm2. 1A

(7 marks)
Solution:
(a) Total area of the two bases

Total area of all lateral faces
= 6  (12  6) cm2 1M
= 432 cm2 1A
∴ Total surface area of the sweet box

Tank A Tank B
Which tank, A or B, has a larger capacity? Explain your answer.

Solution:

Capacity of tank A = m3 1M

= 192 m3 1A
Capacity of tank B = 6  6  5 m3
1M
= 180 m3 1A
∵ 192 m3 > 180 m3 1M

3 000 such blocks are put into the tank. All of them are immersed in water.
(a) Find the total volume of the 3 000 blocks.
(b) Will the water overflow? Explain your answer.
(6 marks)
Solution:

(a) Total volume of the 3 000 blocks = cm3 1M

= 8 640 cm3 1A

(b) Capacity of the tank that can be filled by the blocks


= 32  25  (30  20) cm3 1M
= 8 000 cm3 1A
∵ 8 000 cm3 < 8 640 cm3 1M
