  • What is a frustum?

    A frustum is a truncated (chopped-off) cone.

    E.g.

    A truncated cone (frustum).
  • How can the volume of a hemisphere be found?

    The volume of a hemisphere can be found by halving the volume of the complete sphere.

  • How can the volume of a frustum be found?

    The volume of a frustum is the volume of the larger cone minus the volume of the smaller cone that has been 'cut off'.

  • What is the formula for the surface area of a cylinder?

    The formula for the surface area of a cylinder is A equals 2 pi r squared plus 2 pi r h

    Where:

    • A equals surface area

    The formula for the curved surface area of a cone is A equals pi r l plus pi r squared

    Where:

    • A equalssurface area

    • r equalsradius

    • l equalsslant height

    False.

    A equals pi r l plus pi r squared is the total surface area of a cone.

    The formula for the curved surface area of a cone is A equals pi r l

    Where:

    • A equalssurface area

    • r equalsradius
