LEARN · EXPLAIN · REVISE

A cone has radius r and height h. Write its volume as cπ and find c.

Read the idea, work independently, then explain what changed.

TOPIC 01

Introduction to solid geometry: mixed assessment

A mixed assessment: identify the method, justify it and revise your reasoning.

What you will be able to explain

  • Connect the chapter skills without relying on the order of the exercises.

Try it. Leave your reasoning visible.

Use one hint at a time. A correction explains what changed, not just the final answer.

01 / Transfer#Your turn

A cone has radius r and height h. Write its volume as cπ and find c.

r=9,h=3r=9,\quad h=3
  • Use the domain, units and sampling assumptions stated in the question.

Working and explanation

BUILD THE REASONING

Hint 1
Choose the correct surface or volume formula and keep units and similarity powers consistent.
Hint 2
A cone occupies one third of the corresponding cylinder volume.
Worked solution
  1. Choose the correct surface or volume formula and keep units and similarity powers consistent.

  2. Calculate or simplify this relation.

    V=13πr2h=81πV=\frac13\pi r^2h=81\pi
  3. Do not omit the factor one third.

The requested value is 81.

Checks and common pitfalls: Do not omit the factor one third.

Think first. Reveal a hint when the class is ready.

Focus on one question

Teacher preparation and assessment

Question sequence

  • Ask students to name the relevant condition before calculating.

Board plan

  • Compare valid methods and annotate their conditions.

Anticipated thinking

  • A correct final value may still hide a missing assumption.

Assessment checklist

  • Check the method, conditions, reasoning and interpretation separately.
