Question:

A toy is in the form of a cone of radius 3.5cm mounted on a hemisphere of the same radius. The total height of the toy is 15.5cm. Find the total surface area of the toy rounded off to the nearest integer.

Solution:

As per the question we can draw the diagram.
Given:
The radius of the conical part and the hemispherical part is same (i.e., 3.5 cm)
Height of the hemispherical part, r = 3.5 = 7/2
Height of conical part, h = 15.5 - 3.5 = 12 cm
Slant height (l) of conical part
l = √r² + h² = √(7/2)² + 12² = √49/4 + 144 = √49 + 576/4 = √625/4 = 25/2
Total surface area of toy = CSA of conical part + CSA of hemispherical part
= πrl + 2πr²
= 22/7 × 7/2 × 25/2 + 2 × 22/7 × 7/2 × 7/2
= 214.7
