- 1.A solid pyramid has a square base of side 10 cm and four identical triangular faces. Its apex is directly above the centre of the base, at a vertical height of 12 cm, and the slant height of each triangular face — the distance from the apex to the midpoint of a base edge — is 13 cm. Work out the total surface area of the pyramid.
- 2.A rectangular name card has a perimeter of 30 cm. The card is 9 cm long. Work out the width of the card.
- 3.A circular garden pond has a diameter of 5 m. A gardener is laying gravel around it in a ring-shaped path 1 m wide, measured outward from the edge of the pond. Work out the area of the gravel path. Use π = 3.14.
- 4.A solid pyramid has a square base of side 6 cm. Its apex is directly above the centre of the base, at a vertical height of 8 cm. Work out the volume of the pyramid.
- 5.A circular clock face has a diameter of 18 cm. Work out the circumference of the clock face. Use π = 3.14.
- 6.A composite solid is made from a cylinder of radius 3 cm and height 10 cm, with a cone of the same radius and vertical height 4 cm fixed on top, apex upward. Work out the total volume of the solid. Use π = 3.14 and give your answer correct to 1 decimal place.
- 7.A cylindrical candle and a cone-shaped candle have the same base radius and the same height. State the cone's volume as a fraction of the cylinder's volume.
- 8.A circular clock face has a radius of 9 cm. Work out the circumference of the clock face. Use π = 3.14. Give your answer to 1 decimal place.
- 9.A solid ball has a radius of 7 cm. Work out the surface area of the ball. Use π = 3.14.
- 10.A circular plate has a diameter of 20 cm. Work out the area of the plate. Use π = 3.14.
- 11.A square tile has sides of length 4.5 cm. Work out the perimeter of the tile.
- 12.A circular coin has a diameter of 3 cm. Work out the circumference of the coin. Give your answer in terms of π.
- 13.All four sides of a rhombus are the same length. One side of a rhombus is 7 cm long. Work out the perimeter of the rhombus.
- 14.A triangular badge has two sides of length 8 cm and a third side of length 5 cm. Work out the perimeter of the badge.
- 15.A circular pizza base has a radius of 12 cm. Work out the area of the pizza base. Use π = 3.14.
