depth of 2/3 H. Determine the ratio of the volume of water to volume of the conical tank.
4. The base of a truncated prism is a rectangle with length twice its width. The edges perpendicular to the
base are 12m, 12m, 16m, and 16m, consecutively. If the volume of the truncated prism is 8200 m3, find the
length of its base.
5. A model house is made by sticking a triangular prism on top of a rectangular block, as shown in the diagram.
Find the volume and total surface area of the model house. (ans. 131.78 sq. in)
6. A cylindrical standpipe is to contain 343,000 gal. of water. If its height is to be twice its diameter, what
must be its dimensions (diameter and height)? (ans. 30.79 ft; 61.58 ft)
7. In the Figure, ABCD is a tetrahedron with side length of 2 cm. If the volume of the tetrahedron is √ ❑, find
the value of R. (ans. 8/9)
8. Determine the surface area of the miniature scale steeple (right circular cone) shown below: (10 in tall and
6 in diam) (ans. 126.67 sq. in)
9. A cone and a cylinder have the same volume and same height. Find the ratio of the radius of the
cone to the radius of the cylinder. (ans. 1.732)

triangle with an edge of 9 m. The upper base is 8 m above the lower base. What is the upper base edge in
meters? (ans. 3 cm)
