Free Area and Volume MCQs with Answers

204 Area and Volume MCQs from Mathematics, each with the correct answer and a written explanation of why it is correct. Free and unlimited, with no account needed.

Area measures the surface enclosed by two-dimensional figures, while volume measures the space occupied by three-dimensional solids. Problems use formulas for rectangles, triangles, circles, prisms, cylinders, cones, spheres, and composite figures, including unit conversion and the distinction between surface area, lateral area, and volume.

  • C. 7/9
  • D. 8/9

Explanation: The cylindrical tunnel gives volume πr2h = (22/7) × (2 m)2 × 56 m = 704 m3.

Correct answer: 2/9
  • A. 2dm
  • B. 6dm
  • C. 18dm
  • D. 72dm

Explanation: Let the length be L dm. The depth is L/3 dm, and the breadth is one-sixth of the difference between length and depth, so breadth = (L −…

Correct answer: 18dm
