(a) A cuboid has dimensions x cm by x cm by 10 cm. The volume of the cuboid is 62.5 cm³. Find the value of x. (b) [Figure showing a sector AOB] A piece of card, AOB, is a sector of a circle, centre O, with angle 84° and radius 15 cm.

  1. (a)A cuboid has dimensions x cm by x cm by 10 cm. The volume of the cuboid is 62.5 cm³. Find the value of x.[2]
  2. (b)(i)Show that the arc length of the sector is 7π cm.[1]
  3. (b)(ii)OA is joined to OB to form the curved surface of a cone. Calculate the radius of the cone.[2]
  4. (b)(iii)Find the height of the cone.[2]
  5. (c)An empty barrel, in the shape of a cylinder, has radius 20 cm and height 80 cm. The barrel is filled with water at a rate of 5500 cm³/minute. Calculate the time taken to completely fill the barrel. Give your answer in minutes and seconds, correct to the nearest second.[3]
