Problem solving with further surface area and volume

In this unit, pupils have increased their knowledge of volume which is used in the compound measures unit as the formula for density involves volume. 

In the prior unit, pupils built upon their learning of the area of different shapes. In this unit, pupils will continue to further develop their understanding of shapes by considering surface area and volume of pyramids, spheres and cones.

In this unit, pupils will further develop their understanding of shapes by considering the surface area and volume of pyramids, spheres and cones.

A cylinder fits perfectly inside a cube. The volume of the cube is 1728 cm³. The volume of the cylinder in terms of π is {{}}π cm³.

The volume of this cylinder is 360π cm³ . The radius of the cylinder is {{ }} cm.

This prism has two congruent regular octagonal faces and {{}} congruent rectangular faces.

Izzy takes some measurements from a cube. Match each measurement to its correct value.

The surface area of this octagonal prism is {{ }} cm².

Dimensions of rectangle in the net: 6 cm by 320 cm

Dimensions of rectangle in the net: 6 cm by 70 cm

Total surface area = (320 + 5 × 70) cm²

Total surface area = (2 × 320 + 70 × 6) cm²

Total surface area = (2 × 320 + 5 × (70 × 6)) cm²

The diagram shows a prism unfolded into its net. The perimeter of the cross-sectional face is 70 cm. Which of these statements are correct?
