  1. A ___ solid can be decomposed to make the volume easier to calculate.
  2. The diagram shows a composite solid constructed from two congruent cuboids. All lengths given are in centimetres. Which of these calculations give the total volume of the solid?
  3. This composite solid is constructed from two cuboids. All lengths given are in metres. The total volume of the solid is ___ m³.
  4. This composite solid is constructed by placing a hemisphere with diameter 10 cm on top of a cuboid. Find the volume of the solid. Give your answer to the nearest cubic centimetre.
  5. This composite solid is constructed with a cylinder and a hemisphere. Each have a diameter of 12 cm. The volume of the solid is ___cm³ (correct to 4 significant figures).
  6. This composite solid is constructed with a cone and a hemisphere. The volume of the solid, in terms of 𝜋, is ___𝜋 cm³.
  7. A ___ is the 3D shape made from a cone by making a cut parallel to its circular base and removing the resultant smaller cone.
  8. The left-hand cone is split into a smaller cone and a frustum. Match each length labelled a - c to its value.
  9. The diagram shows a side elevation of a frustum. Find the volume of the large cone that the frustum is cut from. Give your answer correct to 3 significant figures.
  10. The diagram shows a side elevation of a frustum. Find the volume of the frustum. Give your answer correct to 3 significant figures.
  11. A cone is cut into a frustum of height 20 cm and a small cone. The radius of the base of the frustum is 15 cm and the radius of its top is 9 cm. The height of the small cone is ___ cm.
  12. A cone is cut into a frustum of height 20 cm and a small cone. The radius of the base of the frustum is 15 cm and the radius of its top is 9 cm. The volume of the frustum is ___𝜋 cm
