Your answers will be evaluated by AI for key concepts, not exact wording. Focus on main ideas.

5. Which formula would you use to calculate the volume of a cone? (1 choice)

V = π r^2 h
V = l × w × h
V = (1/3) π r^2 h
V = (4/3) π r^3

Application and Analysis

6. You have a composite solid made of a cylinder and a hemisphere on top. Which formula would you use to find the total volume? (1 choice)

Add the volumes of the cylinder and half a sphere
Add the volumes of the cylinder and a full sphere
Multiply the volumes of the cylinder and hemisphere
Subtract the volume of the hemisphere from the cylinder

7. A composite solid consists of a rectangular prism with a cone removed from the top. How would you calculate its volume? (Select all that apply) (multiple choice)

Calculate the volume of the rectangular prism
Add the volumes of the prism and cone
Calculate the volume of the cone
Subtract the volume of the cone from the prism

8. A swimming pool is shaped like a rectangular prism with a semicircular end. Describe the steps to calculate the total volume of the pool.

9. Which error is most likely when calculating the volume of a composite solid? (1 choice)

Miscalculating the perimeter
Using the wrong formula for surface area
Forgetting to add the volumes of individual solids
Incorrectly identifying the basic solids

10. Analyze a scenario where a composite solid includes a hollow section. How does this affect the volume calculation?

Evaluation and Creation

11. A designer needs to create a water tank shaped like a composite solid. Which consideration is most important for ensuring the tank holds the correct volume? (1 choice)

The color of the tank
The material used
Accurate volume calculation
The height of the tank

12. You are tasked with designing a composite solid for maximum volume efficiency. Which design strategies could you use? (Select all that apply) (multiple choice)

Minimize hollow sections
Include complex shapes for aesthetic appeal
Use shapes with simple volume formulas
Maximize the use of spheres and cylinders

13. Propose a design for a composite solid that could be used as a storage container. Explain how you would calculate its volume and ensure it meets specific storage requirements.
