solve problems involving the surface area and volume of composite objects using appropriate units (AC9M10M01)

Elaborations
  • determining the volumes and surface areas of composite solids, formed from a range of right prisms and cylinders, by considering the individual solids from which they are constructed
  • estimating the surface area and volume of composite objects in practical contexts
  • using mathematical modelling to provide solutions to problems involving surface area and volume; for example, ascertaining the rainfall that can be saved from a roof top and the optimal shape and dimensions for rainwater storage based on where it will be located on a property; determining whether to hire extra freezer space for the amount of ice cream required at a fundraising event for the school or community
