Edexcel GCSE Maths: Perimeter, Area and Volume

6 exam-style questions with full mark schemes and model answers. Write your own answer and the AI examiner marks it against the mark scheme.

Question 15 marksWork out

A solid is made from a hemisphere joined to a cylinder. The cylinder has radius 555 cm and height 141414 cm. The hemisphere has radius 555 cm and sits exactly on top of the cylinder.

(a) Work out the total volume of the solid. Give your answer in terms of π\piπ. (3 marks)

(b) Hence work out the total volume correct to 3 significant figures. (2 marks)

(Volume of a sphere =43πr3= \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3=34πr3.)
