Problem 29.8.1

AMC 8

Alex and Felicia each have cats as pets. Alex buys cat food in cylindrical cans that are 6 cm in diameter and 12 cm high. Felicia buys cat food in cylindrical cans that are 12 cm in diameter and 6 cm high. What is the ratio of the volume of one of Alex's cans to the volume one of Felicia's cans?

Problem 29.8.2

AMC 8

Isabella uses one-foot cubical blocks to build a rectangular fort that is 12 feet long, 10 feet wide, and 5 feet high. The floor and the four walls are all one foot thick. How many blocks does the fort contain?

Problem 29.8.3

AMC 8

Jerry cuts a wedge from a 6-cm cylinder of bologna as shown by the dashed curve. Which answer choice is closest to the volume of his wedge in cubic centimeters?

Problem 29.8.4

AMC 8

A square with area 4 is inscribed in a square with area 5, with one vertex of the smaller square on each side of the larger square. A vertex of the smaller square divides a side of the larger square into two segments, one of length aa, and the other of length bb. What is the value of abab?

Problem 29.8.5

AMC 8

In the cube ABCDEFGHABCDEFGH with opposite vertices CC and EE, JJ and II are the midpoints of edges FB‾\overline{FB} and HD‾\overline{HD}, respectively. Let RR be the ratio of the area of the cross-section EJCIEJCI to the area of one of the faces of the cube. What is R2R^2?

Problem 29.8.6

AMC 10A

Seven cubes, whose volumes are 1, 8, 27, 64, 125, 216, and 343 cubic units, are stacked vertically to form a tower in which the volumes of the cubes decrease from bottom to top. Except for the bottom cube, the bottom face of each cube lies completely on top of the cube below it. What is the total surface area of the tower (including the bottom) in square units?

Problem 29.8.7(additional)

MATHCOUNTS

The two cones shown have parallel bases and common apex T. TW = 32m, WV = 8m, and ZY = 5m. What is the volume of the frustum with circle W and circle Z as its bases? Express your answer in terms of π\pi.

Problem 29.8.8(additional)

EMCC

The tiny island nation of Konistan is a cone with height 12 meters and base radius 9 meters, with the base of the cone at sea level. If the sea level rises 4 meters, what is the surface area of Konistan that is still above water, in square meters?

Problem 29.8.9(additional)

AMC 10A

A white cylindrical silo has a diameter of 30 feet and a height of 80 feet. A red stripe with a horizontal width of 3 feet is painted on the silo, as shown, making two complete revolutions around it. What is the area of the stripe in square feet?

Problem 29.8.10(additional)

BmMT

Shivani is planning a road trip in a car with special new tires made of solid rubber. Her tires are cylinders that have width 6 inches and have diameter 26 inches, but need to be replaced when the diameter is less than 22 inches. The tire manufacturer claims that 0.12π0.12\pi cubic inches of its tire will wear away with every single rotation. Assuming that the tire manufacturer is correct about the wear rate of their tires, and that the tire maintains its cylindrical shape and width (losing volume by reducing radius), how many revolutions can each tire make before she needs to replace it?

Problem 29.8.11(additional)

EMCC

A piece of paper is in the shape of an equilateral triangle ABCABC with side length 12. Points ABA_B and BAB_A lie on segment ABAB, such that AAB=3AA_B = 3, and BBA=3BB_A = 3. Define points BCB_C and CBC_B on segment BCBC and points CAC_A and ACA_C on segment CACA similarly. Point A1A_1 is the intersection of ACBCA_CB_C and ABCBA_BC_B. Define B1B_1 and C1C_1 similarly. The three rhombi — AABA1ACAA_BA_1A_C, BBCB1BABB_CB_1B_A, CCAC1CBCC_AC_1C_B — are cut from triangle ABCABC, and the paper is folded along segments A1B1A_1B_1, B1C1B_1C_1, C1A1C_1A_1, to form a tray without a top. What is the volume of this tray?
