Question 955449: A child's block is in the shape of half a cylinder. (It has a picture and it's like and the arc thing, it looks like a semicirle to me tho). The block is 10cm wide, 5 cm high and 3.5 cm thick. Find the surface area. The answer is 35 + 42.5pi in. I don't get how to get to that answer. Thanks!

Question 956157: Some houses, like the one shown at the right, have roofs that are in the shape of right pyramids with rectangular bases. (It's just a picture of a regular house). The base of the front part of the house shown in the photo is rectangular, 20 ft by 30 ft. The walls of the house are 9ft height and the peak of the roof is 14 ft high. Find the surface area of the roof. I can't use the formula (1/2)(l)(p) + B, because the base is irregular. I tried the Pythagorean Theorem, to find the area of the lateral faces and then added the base to it, but it didn't get me to the answer I was looking for. The answer is 651.638 ft squared. A thank you for anyone who helps!!!

Question 956160: Suppose the net shown at the right is turned into a cone. (It's just a regular net of a cone). The arc degree is 120 degrees and the length of the slant height is 10mm. The circumference of the base is 20.944 mm. Calculate the altitude of the cone. I thought all I had to do was do the Pythagorean Theorem to find the height, but if the slant height and the radius are both 10 cm, won't the height just be 0? Or am I missing something? I'm not quite sure. The answer is 9.428 mm. Thank you!!!!

Question 956509: The Giant Causeway in Northern Ireland is a mass of basalt prism-shaped columns packed tightly together... Most of the prisms are hexagonal. The average height of a column is about 14 m. The average diameter of the columns is 45cm. Assuming that the average column is a regular prism, find the surface area of an average column of the Giant's Causeway. (I put the "..." to show that stuff was included, but it's unnecessary info because it's talking about how they were formed and not talking about shapes or anything) I'm not sure how to even start this problem because it's saying hexagonal prism and then stating the diameter, I'm not sure what to do with that. Thank you!!!!!!
