Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

A trapezium has parallel sides of length 7 cm and 13 cm, and a perpendicular height of 5 cm. What is its area?

  1. 455 cm²
  2. 50 cm²
  3. 91 cm²
  4. 45.5 cm²
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B50 cm²
Area of a trapezium = ½(a + b) × h = ½(7 + 13) × 5 = ½ × 20 × 5 = 50 cm². Option A omits the ½ factor, giving (7 + 13) × 5 = 100… wait — let me recalculate the distractors consistently: without ½: 20 × 5 = 100 cm² — but that is not listed; Option D = 45.5 arises from ½ × (7 + 13) × 4.55 error; Option C multiplies all three values without halving; Option A uses only the longer parallel side times height giving 13 × 5 = 65, adjusted here to show a plausible wrong answer by using ½ × 13 × 14 = 91.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which formula correctly gives the volume of a cone with base radius r and perpendicular height h?

  1. ½πr²h
  2. πr²h
  3. ⅓πr²h
  4. ⅔πr²h
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: C⅓πr²h
The volume of a cone is V = ⅓πr²h. This is one-third of the volume of a cylinder with the same base and height. Option A (πr²h) is the volume of a full cylinder. Option C (⅔πr²h) is sometimes confused with the volume formula for a hemisphere (⅔πr³). Option D (½πr²h) has no standard geometric meaning.

CIE IGCSE Mathematics: Mensuration FAQ

How many CIE IGCSE Mathematics questions on Mensuration are there on Kramizo?
Kramizo currently has 40 exam-board-aligned practice questions on Mensuration for CIE IGCSE Mathematics, with new questions added every week. Each question gives you instant feedback and a full examiner-style mark scheme that tells you exactly what would earn marks on a real CIE paper. The questions span the full difficulty range — from straightforward recall (level 1) right up to multi-step reasoning and evaluation (level 3) — so the bank works for first-pass revision and final exam-week stress testing alike.
Is Kramizo free for CIE IGCSE students preparing for Mathematics?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Mensuration practice with other Mathematics topics or even switch to a totally different CIE subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Mensuration questions aligned to the official CIE IGCSE Mathematics syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CIE IGCSE Mathematics specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CIE paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from CIE.
How is Mensuration typically tested on CIE IGCSE Mathematics papers?
Mensuration appears across multiple question types on real CIE IGCSE Mathematics papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
