ASSIGNMENT NO. 3
SET A
1. A pottery manufacturer has an order to manufacture 5500 hanging vases each to hold 1/6 pt. of
water when full. The vases are designed so as to fit into the corner of a room. The faces of each vase
are triangular in shape and intersect to form a pointed bottom. The area of the polygon cut out of
the plane of the base by the lateral faces is 4 sq. in. The height of the vase is 9 in. Compute the
weight of pottery required if pottery weighs 135 lb. per cu. ft.

2. What fraction of the volume of a pyramid must be cut off by a plane parallel to the base if the
pyramid thus formed has a lateral area equal to one-half of the lateral area of the original pyramid?
3. The pyramidal tank shown in the figure has a square base 12.6 ft. on a side and an altitude of 15.8 ft.
How many gallons of water are in it when the depth of the water is 5.75 ft.?

SET B
1. A pyramidal book end made of composition material has a base in the shape of an irregular polygon
whose measurements are shown in the sketch. The faces are triangles whose vertices are
coincident. The common vertex is in the plan of the face against which the books rest. This latter
face is at right angles to the base and has an altitude of 7.5 in. and a base of 4 in. Find the amount
of material in 1100 pairs of such book ends.

2. The altitude of the great Pyramid of Cheops in Egypt originally was 485 ft. and its square base was
775 ft. on an edge. It is said to have cost $11 a cubic yard and $3.5 more for each square yard of
lateral surface (considered as planes). What was its cost?
3. A manufacturer receives an order for 2050 souvenirs which are to be miniature models of the
Washington Monument. Each must be exactly similar to the original monument and must be 4.5 in.
high. If the models are solid, find the amount of material necessary to fill the order. (Take 1,038,800
cu. ft. as volume of Washington Monument, 555 ft. as height.)
SET C
1. A pyramid V-ABCD is cut from a cube of edge 13 in., as shown in the figure. The vertex V is the
midpoint of an upper edge of the cube. Compute the lateral surface of the pyramid.

2. The vertex of the cone shown in the figure is at the midpoint of an upper edge of the cube; the base
of the cone is a circle inscribed in the lower base of the cube. If the edge of the cube is 12 in., find
the volume of the cone.

3. Among the interesting applications of similarity is the case of a shadow, as here shown, where the
light is the center of similitude. If a mans profile is 11 in. in height and the similar shadow is 16 in. in
height, find the ratio of the area of the profile to the area of the shadow.

SET D
1. The illustration shows the monument of Cestius in Rome, which is a square pyramid 121.6 ft. high
with a base edge measuring 98.5 ft. Find the number of square feet in the lateral surface of the
monument. What is its volume?

ASSIGNMENT NO. 3

2. In the triangular pyramid shown in the figure each face angle at O is 90o. Find the volume of a cone
whose vertex is at V and whose base is a circle inscribed in the base AVO of the pyramid.

3. A circular piece of filter paper R inches in radius is folded twice: first on a diameter and then on the
radius perpendicular to the crease. It is then opened up so as to form a right circular cone. Find in
terms of R the volume of liquid it will hold.
SET E
1. The roof of a water tower is composed of 6 equal isosceles triangles whose vertices meet in the
center of the roof. If the inclined edges measure 18 ft. and the height of the roof is 9 ft., find the
number of square feet of tar paper necessary to cover the roof. (Neglect the waste in lapping,
cutting, etc.)
2. The regular pyramidal roof of the Washington Monument is 55 ft. high and has a base which is a
square 35 ft. 2 in. on a side. The marble slabs of which it is built weigh 165 lb. per cu. ft. If the room
covered by the roof is a pyramid whose square base is 35 ft. on a side and 55 ft. high, what is the
weight of the roof? (Neglect the six small windows.)
3. Two vertical conical tanks (both inverted) have their vertices connected by a short horizontal pipe.
One tank, initially full of water, has an altitude of 5 ft. and a diameter of base 8 ft. The other tank,
initially empty, has an altitude of 10 ft. and a diameter of base 9 ft. If the water is allowed to flow
through the connecting pipe, find the level to which the water will ultimately rise in the empty tank.
(Neglect the water in the pipe).
