1.
Here, Volume of a hemisphere = 2425 \(\frac{1}{2}\) cm3
\(\Rightarrow\) \(\frac { 2 }{ 3 } \times \frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times { r }^{ 3 }=\frac { 4851 }{ 2 } \)
\(\Rightarrow\) \({ r }^{ 3 }=\frac { 4851 }{ 2 } \times \frac { 3\times 7 }{ 2\times 22 } \)
\(=\frac { 441\times 21 }{ 2\times 2\times 2 } \)
\(\Rightarrow\) r = \(\frac{21}{2} cm\)
Now, curved surface area = 2\(\pi\)r2
= 2 x \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times \frac { 21 }{ 2 } \times \frac { 21 }{ 2 } \)
= 693 cm2
2.
Radius of hemisphere portion = Radius of cylindrical portion = \(\frac{7}{2}m\)
Total length of the tanker = 20 m
\(\therefore\) Length of cylindrical portion = 20 - 7 = 13 m

Now, Capacity (volume) of the oil tanker
= Volume of cylinder + 2 x Volume of hemisphere
= \(\pi r^2h+2\times\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3\)
= \(\frac{22}{7}\times\frac{7}{2}\times\frac{7}{2}\times13+2\times\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{22}{7}\times\frac{7}{2}\times\frac{7}{2}\times\frac{7}{2}\)
= 500.5 + 179.67 = 680.17 m3
3.
Radius of the base of the cone and hemisphere
= \(\frac{18}{2}\) = 9 cm
Height of cone = 12 cm
Slant height l = \(\sqrt{9^2+12^2}\) = \(\sqrt{81+144}\)
= \(\sqrt{225}\) = 15 cm

Total surface area of toy
= C.S.A. of hemisphere + C.S.A. of cone
= \(2\pi r^2+\pi rl=\pi r(2r+l)\)
= 3.14 x 9(2 x 9 + 15)
= 3.14 x 9 x 33 = 932.58 cm2
4.
Surface area of remaining block =
surface area of cuboid + curved surface area of cylinder - surface area of two circular end of cylinder hole
= 2[lb + bh + lh] + \(2\pi rh-2\pi r^2\)
= 2[15 x 10 + 10 x 5 + 15 x 5] + 2 x \(\frac{22}{7}\times\frac{7}{2}\) x 5 - 2 x \(\frac{22}{7}\times\frac{7}{2}\times\frac{7}{2}\)
= 2(150 + 50 + 75) + 110 - 77 cm2
= 583 cm2
5.
Given that, tent is a combination of a cylinder and a cone.

For conical portion,
Slant height, l = 2.8 m
Radius, r = Radius of cylinder \(=\frac{\text { Diameter }}{2}=\frac{4}{2}=2 \mathrm{~m}\)
For cylindrical portion,
Radius, r = \(\frac{4}{2}=2 \mathrm{~cm}\)
Height, h = 2.1 m
\(\therefore\) Required surface area of the tent = CSA of cone + CSA of cylinder
\(\begin{aligned} & =\pi r l+2 \pi r h=\pi r(l+2 h) \\ \end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} & =\frac{22}{7} \times 2 \times(2.8+2 \times 2.1) \\ \end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} & =\frac{44}{7}(2.8+4.2)=\frac{44}{7} \times 7=44 \mathrm{~m}^2 \end{aligned}\)
Now, cost of the canvas of the tent at the rate of Rs 500 per m2 = Surface area \(\times\) Cost per m2 = 44 \(\times\) 500 = Rs 22000
6.
Total surface area of a solid hemisphere
=2πr2+πr2=3πr2

Now, 3πr2=462
⇒ r2=\(\frac{462\times{7}}{3\times{22}}\)=49⇒ r=7
Volume of hemisphere=\(\frac{2}{3}\pi{r}^{3}=\frac{2}{3}\times{\frac{22}{7}}\times\left(7\right)^{3}\)
=\(\frac{2}{3}\)x22x49 cm3=718.67 cm3
7.
Coins are cylindrical in shape.
Height (h1) of cylindrical coins = 2 mm = 0.2 cm
Radius (r) of circular end of coins = 1.75/2 =0.875 cm
Let n coins be melted to form the required cuboids.
Volume of n coins = Volume of cuboids
nxπxr2xh1 = lxbxh
n x π x (0.875)2 x 0.2 = 5.5 x 10 x 3.5
\(n=\frac{5.5 \times 10 \times 3.5 \times 7}{(0.875)^{2} \times 0.2 \times 22}=400\)
Therefore, the number of coins melted to form such a cuboid is 400.
8.
Radius of cone=\(\frac{1}{2}\)x edge of cube
=\(\frac{9}{2}\)cm

Height of cone, h=9 cm
Volume of cone=\(\frac{1}{3}\pi{r}^{2}h\)
=\(\frac{1}{3}\times{\frac{22}{7}}\times{\frac{9}{2}}\times{\frac{9}{2}}\times{9}\)
=190.928 cm3
9.
Given, solid is a combination of a cone and a hemisphere.
Also, radius of the cone, r = radius of the hemisphere
= 1 cm

Height of the cone, h = 1 cm
\(\therefore\) Required volume of the solid = Volume of the cone + Volume of the hemisphere
\(\begin{aligned} & =\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h+\frac{2}{3} \pi r^3=\frac{1}{3} \pi(1)^2(1)+\frac{2}{3} \pi(1)^3 \\ \end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} & =\frac{\pi}{3}+\frac{2}{3} \pi=\frac{(\pi+2 \pi)}{3}=\frac{3 \pi}{3}=\pi \mathrm{cm}^3 \end{aligned}\)
10.
Let the length of each edge of the cube be x cm
Volume = x3 cm3⇒27=x3
Length of the cuboid formed = 3 cm + 3 cm = 6 cm
breadth, b = 3 cm, height, h = 3 cm
Surface area of the cuboid fomed = 2(lb + bh + hl)
=2(6x3+3x3+3x6)
=2(18+9+18)=2x45 = 90 cm2
11.

16.
Given, diameter of base of the greenhouse is circular = 12 m
radius = 6 m
Height of greenhouse cylindrical wall = 2 m
\(\therefore\) CSA of the hemispherical roof = 2 \(\times\) \(\pi\) \(\times\) 62m2
= 72 \(\pi\)m2
and CSA of the cylindrical wall = 2\(\times\)\(\pi\)\(\times\)6\(\times\)2 m2
= 24\(\pi\)m2
TSA of the greenhouse to be covered = 72\(\pi\) + 24 \(\pi\)
= 96\(\pi\)m2
The cost of the plastic sheet required to cover the entire greenhouse = 96\(\pi\) \(\times\) 77= Rs 23232
17.
Length of the capsule = 14 mm
Diameter of the capsule = 4 mm
Radius of the capsule \(=\frac{4}{2}=2 \mathrm{~mm}\)

Length of the cylinder = Total length of capsule - Radius of left hemisphere - Radius of right hemisphere
= 14 - 2 - 2 = 10 mm
Surface area of capsule = Curved surface area of cylinder + Surface area of left hemisphere + Surface area of right hemisphere
\(\begin{aligned}
=2 \pi r h+2 \pi r^2+2 \pi r^2 \\
\end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned}
=2 \pi r h+4 \pi r^2 \\
\end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned}
=2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 2 \times 10+4 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 2 \times 2
\end{aligned}\)
= 125.71 + 50.29
= 176
Thus, the required surface area of the capsule is 176 mm2.
Volume of capsule = Volume of cylinder + Volume of left hemisphere + Volume of right hemisphere
\(\begin{aligned}
& =\pi r^2 h+\frac{2}{3} \pi r^3+\frac{2}{3} \pi r^3 \\
\end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned}
& =\pi r^2 h+\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \\
\end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned}
& =\frac{22}{7} \times 2 \times 2 \times 10+\frac{4}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 2 \times 2 \times 2
\end{aligned}\)
= 125.71 + 33.52
= 159.23 mm3
18.
This top is exactly like the object we have discussed. So, we can conveniently use the result we have arrived at there. That is :
TSA of the toy = CSA of hemisphere + CSA of cone
Now, the curved surface area of the hemisphere = \(\frac{1}{2}\left(4 \pi r^{2}\right)=2 \pi r^{2} \)
\(=\left(2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{3.5}{2} \times \frac{3.5}{2}\right) \mathrm{cm}^{2}\)
Also, the height of the cone = height of the top – height (radius) of the hemispherical part
\(=\left(5-\frac{3.5}{2}\right) \mathrm{cm}=3.25 \mathrm{~cm}\)
So, the slant height of the cone \((l)=\sqrt{r^{2}+h^{2}}=\sqrt{\left(\frac{3.5}{2}\right)^{2}+(3.25)^{2}} \mathrm{~cm}=3.7 \mathrm{~cm}(\text { approx. })\)
Therefore, CSA of cone \(=\pi r l=\left(\frac{22}{7} \times \frac{3.5}{2} \times 3.7\right) \mathrm{cm}^{2}\)
This gives the surface area of the top as
\(=\left(2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{3.5}{2} \times \frac{3.5}{2}\right) \mathrm{cm}^{2}+\left(\frac{22}{7} \times \frac{3.5}{2} \times 3.7\right) \mathrm{cm}^{2}\)
\(=\frac{22}{7} \times \frac{3.5}{2}(3.5+3.7) \mathrm{cm}^{2}=\frac{11}{2} \times(3.5+3.7) \mathrm{cm}^{2}=39.6 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}(\text { approx. })\)
You may note that ‘total surface area of the top’ is not the sum of the total surface areas of the cone and hemisphere
19.

Total surface area (TSA) of toy = CSA of hemisphere + CSA of cone
This is because the toy is obtained by joining the plane surfaces of hemisphere and cone.
20.
(c) Given, side of cube = a cm
\(\Rightarrow\) Diameter of sphere = a cm
\(\Rightarrow\) Radius of sphere = \(\frac{a}{2}\)cm
We know that surface area of sphere = 4\(\pi\)r2
\(=4 \pi \times \frac{a}{2} \times \frac{a}{2}\)
= a2\(\pi\)cm2
21.
Given dimension of conical part of a silo is radius,
of base = 1.5 m
Height =2 m
And dimension of the cylindrical part of a silo is radius of base = 1.5 m
Height =7m
(i) We know that slant height
\(l=\sqrt{r^2+h^2}=\sqrt{(1.5)^2+(2)^2}=2.5 \mathrm{~m}\)
(ii) Curved surface area of cone = πrl
\(=\frac{22}{7} \times 1.5 \times 2.5=11.78 \mathrm{~m}^2\)
(iii) (a) Curved surface area of cylinder = 2πrh
\(=2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 1.5 \times 7=66 \mathrm{~m}^2\)
Cost of 1 m2 of metal sheet =₹2000
∴ Cost of metal sheet used = 66 × 2000=₹132000
Or
(b) Volume of cylinder = πr2h
\(=\frac{22}{7} \times(1.5)^2 \times 7=49.5 \mathrm{~m}^3\)
Volume of cone \(=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h\)
\(=\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times(1.5)^2 \times 2=4.71 \mathrm{~m}^3\)
Thus, total capacity of 1 silo= 49.5 + 4.71= 54.21 m3.
