Question 1

A packaging box is a cuboid measuring 40 cm in length, 20 cm in width, and 10 cm in height. What is the volume of the box in cubic centimetres (cm³)?

Accepted Answer

8000 cm³

Answer

The volume of a cuboid is calculated by multiplying its length, width, and height. Volume = Length × Width × Height. In this case, Volume = 40 cm × 20 cm × 10 cm = 8000 cm³.

Question 2

A groundskeeper is marking the boundary of a new rectangular playing field that is 90 metres long and 60 metres wide. What is the total perimeter of the field?

Accepted Answer

300 metres

Answer

The perimeter of a rectangle is the total distance around its boundary. It is calculated using the formula P = 2 × (length + width). So, P = 2 × (90m + 60m) = 2 × 150m = 300 metres.

Question 3

Which of the following statements correctly describes the properties of a triangular prism?

Accepted Answer

It has 5 faces, 9 edges, and 6 vertices.

Answer

A triangular prism is a 3D shape with two identical triangular bases and three rectangular sides. It has a total of 5 faces (2 triangles + 3 rectangles), 9 edges, and 6 vertices.

Question 4

An architect is drawing a floor plan. A room has an area of 1.5 square metres (m²). What is this area in square centimetres (cm²)?

Accepted Answer

15,000 cm²

Answer

To convert square metres to square centimetres, you multiply by 10,000, because 1 metre = 100 centimetres, so 1 m² = 100 cm × 100 cm = 10,000 cm². Therefore, 1.5 m² × 10,000 = 15,000 cm².

Question 5

A triangular garden plot has a base of 12 metres and a perpendicular height of 5 metres. What is the area of the garden plot?

Accepted Answer

30 m²

Answer

The area of a triangle is calculated using the formula: Area = (1/2) × base × height. For this garden plot, the area is (1/2) × 12 m × 5 m = 6 m × 5 m = 30 m².
