Measurement Quiz Prep

Kahu and Finn are checking measurements for a wildlife sanctuary upgrade. Solve each task, show working where asked, and include units. Use π = 3.14 unless a question says otherwise. Give answers to 3 significant figures where requested.

Units and precision

1.The sanctuary’s water trough is 3.6 m long. How many centimetres is this?

36 cm
360 cm
3,600 cm
0.36 cm

2.A feed sample has a mass of 0.00620 kg. How many significant figures does this measurement have?

3.Convert the length of a new fence, 1.85 km, into metres. Show the conversion.

4.Match each sanctuary supply measurement to its equivalent. Write the matching letter beside each item.

1. 750 g
2. 0.04 kg
3. 1,200 mL
4. 2.5 L

B. 0.75 kg
D. 2,500 mL
C. 40 g
A. 1.2 L

Circles and capacity

5.A circular viewing platform has a radius of 4.5 m. Calculate its circumference using π = 3.14. Give your answer to 3 significant figures.

6.A round feeding station has a diameter of 8 cm. Find its area using π = 3.14. Give your answer to 3 significant figures and include units.

7.A cylindrical water drum has an internal radius of 0.20 m and a height of 0.60 m. Calculate its volume in litres. Use π = 3.14 and give your answer to 3 significant figures. (1 m³ = 1,000 L)

Distances and design

8.A right-angled ramp has a horizontal run of 5 m and a vertical rise of 12 m. Find the ramp’s length. Include your calculation.

9.Kahu measures a rectangular rehabilitation pen as 18 m by 7.5 m. Calculate the area of the pen.

10.A 2.4 m support pole casts a 1.8 m shadow. At the same time, a nearby tree casts a 9 m shadow. Assuming the ground is level and the triangles are similar, estimate the tree’s height.
