Mathematics Question on Surface Area of a Combination of Solids
A vessel is in the form of a hollow hemisphere mounted by a hollow cylinder. The diameter of the hemisphere is 14 cm and the total height of the vessel is 13 cm. Find the inner surface area of the vessel. [Use π=722 ]
Answer
It can be observed that radius (r) of the cylindrical part and the hemispherical part is the same (i.e., 7 cm).
Height of hemispherical part = Radius = 7 cm
Height of cylindrical part (h) = 13 −7 = 6 cm
Inner surface area of the vessel = CSA of cylindrical part + CSA of hemispherical part
=2πrh+2πr2
Inner surface area of the vessel =(2πrh+2πr2) cm2 = 2πr(h+r) cm2
=2×(722)×7(6+7)cm2 = 572 cm2
