1.  L.s.f. = ¹⁸/₂₄ = ³/₄
   A.s.f = ⁹/₁₆
   v.s.f = ²⁷/₆₄
   h/3.2 = ³/₄ →4h = 3h + (3 x 3.2)
   h = 9.6
   1. surface area of small cone:
      L = √(92 + 9.6²) = 13.16m
      S.A = (3.142 x 9 x 13.6) = 384.581
      Curved area of frustrum = ⁷/₁ x ^{(3.142 x 9 x 13.16)}/₉
      = 289.4
      Top area = (3.142 x 9²) = 254.5cm
      Total area = 543.9m
   2. Volume of smaller cone = (3.142 x 9² x 9.6)/₃
      = 814.41
      Volume f frustrum = ^{(37 x 814.41)}/₂₇
      = 1116.043m³
      = 1116043L
      Litres used per day= (15 x 15 x 40) + (116 x 65)= 16540L
      No. of days = ^1116043/₁₆₅₄₀ = 67.5days
2. 1. L.S.F = ³/₂ = ^{(28 + h)}/_h
      56 + 2h = 3h
      h = 56cm
      Volume = ¹/₃ r²H – ¹/₃r²h
      =¹/₃ x ²²/₇ x 15x 15x56 − ¹/₃ x ²²/₇ x 10 x 10 x 28
      = 13200 – 2933¹/₃
      = 10.2667 litres
   2. Slant height = 152 + 562 = 3361
      = 57.97cm
      Curved surface – RL – rl
3.  2.6 x 4.8 x 3.2 = 39.936m³
   1m³ = 1000litres
   39.936m³ = 39.936 x 1000
   = 39936 litres
4. 1. The top surface of the frustrum is −²/₃ way up the vertical height of the original one.
      →VX: XY = ¹/_3h: h = 1:3
      Using similar triangle we have
      ^r/_R = ^VX/_VY = ¹/₃
      r:R = 1:3
   2. ^r/_R = ¹/₃ →R = 3r
      R = 3x7 = 21cm
   3. height of removed cone is ¹/₃ height of original cone
      h = ¹/₃ x 45 = 15cm
      volume of removed cone = ¹/₃ r²h
      = 1 x ²²/₇ x 7 x7 x15
      = 770cm³
      Now L. S. F = ¹/₃
      V. S. F= (¹/₃)³ = ¹/₂
      Hence ratio of volumes = 1:27
      Volume of original cone = 27x Vol. of small cone
      = 770 x 27= 20790cm³
      Capacity of frustrum
      = vol. of original cone – vol. of removed cone
      = 20790 – 770= 20020cm^{3
      20200}/₁₀₀₀ = 20 l
   4. capacity of tank = ^{150 x 120 x 80}/₁₀₀₀ = 1440l
      No. of buckets = ¹⁴⁴⁰/₂₀ = 72buckets
5. Mass of water = 1 x 3000 cm³ = 3000 g
   Mass of alcohol = 0.8 x 1200 = 9600g
   Mass of mixture = 12,600g
   Volume of mixture = 15,000 cm³
   Density of mixture = ¹²⁶⁰⁰/₁₅₀₀₀
   = 0.84g/cm³
6. 1. Vol. of tank = 22 x 144 x 1.7 = 5.236
      Vol. of milk = ³/₅ x 5.236 = 3.146m³
      Vol. in liters = 3.1416 x 1000 = 3141.6litres
   2. 1. Vol. of packet (¹/₃ x 10 sin 60) x 13.6
         = 26.97 x 13.6
         = 3.66.75cm³
         = 367cm³
      2. No. packets = ^{(3141.6 x 1000)}/₃₆₇
      3. Amount = 8560.2 x 20
         = 171204.3597
         = Shs.171,204.40
7.  Volume of culvert
   =²²/₇ (76² – 64²) x 300 x 10^-6
   =²²/₇ x ^{(1680 x 300)}/_10000000000
   = 1.584m³
