Measuration Parallelograms, Trapeziums, Prisms and Cylinders

1. An open cuboid with internal length of 20 cm and breadth of 10 cm is partially filled with
water. A solid cylinder of radius 7 cm and height 15 cm is put into the water. Given that
3/5 of the cylinder is submerged in water, find the increase in height. (Take = 22/7 and
give your answer correct to 1 decimal place.)
2. A long solid cylinder of volume 43120 cm3 is sliced into 2 parts. One part of the cylinder
has radius which is equal to its height. Given that the volume of that part is 8624 cm3,
find the total surface area of the original solid cylinder. (Take = 22/7)

Given that the area of ADE is 40 cm2, find the area of parallelogram ABCD.

4. In the figure below, ABCD and DEFG are parallelograms Given that the area of ABCD is
50 cm2, FH = HE and A is the midpoint of GF, find the area of AFH.

5. In the figure below, ABCD is a square of sides 12 cm. AGD and DGC are semicircles with
centres F and E respectively. Find the area of the shaded region. (Take = 3.14)

6. The figure below shows a rectangular ABCD with AB = 16 cm and BC = 8 cm. AEB is a
semicircle with AB as the diameter and BEC is a quadrant with C as the centre. Find the
area of the shaded region. (Take = 3.14)
