About This Quiz
Composite Volumes - Quiz

Let's put your volume skills to work on bigger builds! In this quiz, you’ll combine volumes for joined shapes, handle half or quarter solids, and subtract parts that are removed. You’ll match each piece to a formula (prism, cylinder, cone, sphere), plug in the numbers, and finish with neat unit-labeled... see moreanswers.

Submit
7) A pyramid of height 9 cm sits on top of a cube with a side length of 6 cm. Find the total volume.

Explanation

Volume = (cube) 6×6×6 + (pyramid) 1/3×6×6×9 = 216 + 108 = 324 cm³

Submit
8) A silo is shaped like a cylinder (radius 4 m, height 10 m) with a hemisphere of radius 4 m on top. Find the approximate total volume.

Explanation

Volume = (cyl) 3.14×4×4×10 + (hemisphere) 0.5×4/3×3.14×4×4×4 = 502.7 + 134 = 636.7 m³

Submit
9) A rectangular prism measures 8 cm × 8 cm × 5 cm. On top is a triangular prism roof with base 8 cm × 5 cm and height 4 cm. Find the volume.

Explanation

Volume = (rect prism) 8×8×5 + (tri prism) 0.5×8×4×5 = 320 + 80 = 400 cm³

Submit
10) A cone of radius 7 m and height 12 m is placed on top of a cylinder of radius 7 m and height 20 m. Find the approximate total volume.

Explanation

Volume = (cyl) 3.14×7×7×20 + (cone) 1/3×3.14×7×7×12 = 3078.8 + 615.8 = 3694.6 m³

Submit
11) A water tank is shaped like a rectangular prism (6 × 6 × 12) with a half cylinder of radius 3, length 6 on top. Find the approximate volume.

Explanation

Volume = (rect prism) 6×6×12 + (half cyl) 0.5×3.14×3×3×6 = 432 + 84.8 = 517 cm³

Submit
12) A cube has side length 8 cm. On top of it sits a square pyramid with base 8 cm × 8 cm and height 6 cm. Find the total volume.

Explanation

Volume = (cube) 8×8×8 + (pyramid) 1/3×8×8×6 = 512 + 128 = 640 cm³

Submit
