Two cubes each of volume 27 cm3 are joined end to end to form a solid. Find the surface area of the resulting cuboid.
Let the length of the side of cube be ‘a’ cm.
Volume of each cube = 27 cm3
Volume of cube = a3
∴ a3 = 27 cm3
⇒ a = (27 cm3)1/3
⇒ a = 3 cm
Length of a side of cube = 3 cm
Since, two cubes are joined and a cuboid is formed so,
Length of cuboid = l = 2a = 2 × 3 cm = 6 cm
Breadth of cuboid = b = a = 3 cm
Height of cuboid = h = a = 3 cm
Surface area of cuboid = 2 × (l × b + b × h + l × h)
∴ Surface area of resulting cuboid = 2 × (6 × 3 + 3 × 3 + 6 × 3) cm2
= 2 × (18 + 9 + 18) cm2
= 2 × 45 cm2
= 90 cm2
So, surface area of resulting cuboid is 90 cm2

⇒ r3 = 1157.625 cm3
⇒ r = (1157.625)1/3 cm
⇒ r = 10.5 cm
Curved Surface Area of hemisphere = 2πr2
Curved Surface Area of hemisphere = 2 × 22/7 × (10.5)2 cm2

⇒ r2 = 462 × 1/3 × 7/22 cm2 = 49 cm2
⇒ r = 7 cm
Volume of solid hemisphere = π r3

⇒ m2
⇒ l = 25 m
Area of cloth required to make a conical tent = Curved Surface area of conical tent

⇒ r2 = 1.54 × 7/22 km2 = .49 km2
⇒ r = 0.7 km
Let ‘h’ be the height of the mountain
We know,
l2 = r2 + h2
Substituting the values of l and r in the above equation
2.52 = 0.72 + h2
h2 = 2.52 – 0.72 = 6.25 – 0.49 km2
h2 = 5.76 km2
h = 2.4 km
∴ Height of the mountain = 2.4 km

Let the Radius of the solid cylinder be ‘r’ m and its height be ‘h’ m.
Given,

Substituting the value of r + h in the above equation
⇒ 2πr × 37 = 1628 m2
⇒ r = 1628 × 7/22 × 1/2 × 1/37 m
⇒ r = 7 m
Since, r + h = 37 m
h = 37 – r m
h = 37 – 7 m = 30 m

⇒ r2 = 2464 × 1/4 × 7/22 cm2 = 196 cm2
⇒ r = 14 cm
Radius of new sphere is double the radius of given sphere.
Let the radius of new sphere be r’ cm

hcone = 8.25 – 5.5 m = 2.75 m
Base radius of cone = 15 m
Let l be the slant height of cone
Then, l2 = hcone2 + r2 = 2.752 + 152 m2
l2 = 7.5625 + 225 m2 = 232.5625
l = 15.25
Curved surface area of conical part of the tent = πrl
Total surface area of the tent = Curved surface area of cylindrical part + curved surface area of conical part
Total surface area of tent = 2πrh + πrl
= πr (2h + l)
= 22/7 × 15 × (2 × 5.5 + 15.25) m2
= 22/7 × 15 × (11 + 15.25) m2
= 22/7 × 15 × 26.25 m2
= 1237.5 m2
Breadth of canvas used = 1.5 m

Height of conical part of the tent = 13.5 – 3 m =10.5 m
Let the slant height of the conical part be l
l2 = hcone2 + r2
l2 = 10.52 + 142 = 110.25 + 196 m2 = 306.25 m2
l = 17.5 m
Curved surface area of conical part of tent = πrl
= 22/7 × 14 × 17.5 m2
= 770 m2
Total surface area of tent = Curved surface area of cylindrical part of tent + Curved surface area of conical part of tent
Total Surface area of tent = 264 m2 + 770 m2 = 1034 m2
Cloth required = Total Surface area of tent = 1034 m2
Cost of cloth = Rs 80/m2
Total cost of cloth required = Total surface area of tent × Cost of cloth
= 1034 × Rs 80
= Rs 82720

= 1697.14 cm3
Whole ice-cream has to be distributed to 10 children in equal cones with hemispherical tops.
Let the radius of hemisphere and base of cone be r’
Height of cone = h = 4 times the radius of its base
h’ = 4r’
Volume of Hemisphere = 2/3 π(r’)3
Volume of cone = 1/3 π(r’)2h’ = 1/3 π(r’)2 × 4r’
= 2/3 π(r’)3
Volume of ice-cream = Volume of Hemisphere + Volume of cone
= 2/3 π(r’)3 + 4/3 π(r’)3 = 6/3 π(r’)3
Number of ice-creams = 10
∴ total volume of ice-cream = 10 × Volume of ice-cream
= 10 × 6/3 π(r’)3 = 60/3 π(r’)3
Also, total volume of ice-cream = Volume of cylindrical container
⇒ 60/3 π(r’)3 = 1697.14 cm3

Curved surface area of cylindrical part of capsule = 2πrl
= 2 × 3.14 × 9 × 2.5 mm2
= 141.3 mm2
Curved surface area of hemispherical ends = 2 × 2πr2

The solid is placed in a cylindrical tub full of water in such a way that the whole solid is submerged in water, so, to find the volume of water left in the tub we need to subtract volume of solid from cylindrical tub.
Radius of cylinder = r’ = 5 cm
Height of cylinder = h’ = 9.8 cm
Volume of cylindrical tub = πr’2h’ = 22/7 × 5 × 5 × 9.8 cm3
= 770 cm3
Volume of water left in the tub = Volume of cylindrical tub – Volume of solid
Volume of water left in the tub = 770 cm3 – 37.884 cm3 = 732.116 cm3
∴ Volume of water left in the tub is 732.116 cm3

⇒ l2 = (36 + 64) cm2
⇒ l2 = 100 cm2
⇒ l = 10 cm
Curved Surface area of conical cavity = πrl
Since, conical cavity is hollowed out from solid cylinder, so, volume and total surface area of remaining solid will be found out by subtracting volume and total surface area of conical cavity from volume and total surface area of solid cylinder.
Volume of remaining solid = Volume of solid cylinder – Volume of conical cavity
Volume of remaining solid = 904.32 cm3 – 301.44 cm3
= 602.88 cm3
Total surface area of remaining solid = Curved Surface area of solid cylinder + Curved Surface area of conical cavity + Area of circular base

Radius conical cavity = r = 2.1 cm
Let l be the slant height of conical cavity
l2 = r2 + h2
⇒ l2 = (2.82 + 2.12) cm2
⇒ l2 = (7.84 + 4.41) cm2
⇒ l2 = 12.25 cm2
⇒ l = 3.5 cm
Curved Surface area of conical cavity = πrl
= 22/7 × 2.1 × 3.5
= 23.1 cm2
Total surface area of remaining solid = Curved surface area of solid cylinder + Curved surface area of conical cavity + Area of circular base
Total surface area of remaining solid = (36.96 + 23.1 + 22/7 × 2.12) cm2
= (36.96 + 23.1 + 13.86) cm2
= 73.92 cm2

= 22/7 × (16.25 + 6.25 – 4) cm2
= 22/7 × 18.5 cm2
= 58.143 cm2
Area to be painted White = Curved Surface area of cylinder + Base area of cylinder
Area to be painted White = 2πrh + πr2 = πr (2h + r)
= 22/7 × 2 × (2 × 20 + 2) cm2
= 22/7 × 2 × (40 + 2) cm2
= 22/7 × 2 × 42 cm2 = 264 cm2

h = 45 cm
Hence,
The rise in level of water in tank in half an hour will be 45 cm.
Water is flowing at the rate of 6 km/hr through a pipe of diameter 14 cm into a rectangular tank which is 60 m long and 22 m wide. Determine the time in which the level of water in the tank will rise by 7 cm.
Given,
Speed of the water flowing through the pipe, H = 6 km/hr
= cm/s
Diameter of the pipe = 14 cm
Radius (R) of pipe = = 7 cm
Length (l) of the rectangular tank = 60 m = 6000 cm,
Breadth (b) of the rectangular tank = 22 m = 2200 cm and
Height (h) or Rise in the level of water in the tank = 7 cm
Now,
Volume of the water in rectangular tank = l × b × h = 6000 x 2200 x 7 = 92400000cm3
Also,
Volume of the water flowing through the pipe in 1 s = πR2H
= cm3
So,
The time taken to rise the water =
cm3
= 92400 x = 3600s = 1 hr
So,
In 1 hour time the level of water in the tank will rise by 7cm.
Water in a canal, 6 m wide and 1.5 m deep, is flowing at a speed of 4 km/hr. How much area will it irrigate in 10 minutes if 8 cm of standing water is needed for irrigation?
Given,
Width of the canal = 6 m
Depth of the canal, = 1.5 m
Length of the cuboid = 666.67 m
Water is flowing at a speed of 4 km/hr = 4000m/hr
Thus,
Area irrigated in 10 minutes = hour = x 4000 = 666.67 m
Hence,
Volume of the water flowing in hour = Volume of the canal
⇒ Volume of the water flowing in hour = 666.67 x 6 x 1.5 = 6000.03 = 60000 m3
Let a m2 is the area irrigated in hour,
Then,
⇒ a × = 6000
⇒ a = m2 = 75000 m2
A farmer connects a pipe of internal diameter 25 cm from a canal into a cylindrical tank in his field, which is 12 m in diameter and 2.5 m deep. If water flows through the pipe at the rate of 3.6km/hr, in how much time will the tank be filled? Also, find the cost of water if the canal department charges at the rate of Rs 0.07 per m3.
Given,
Internal diameter of the pipe = 25 cm
Radius (r) of the pipe =
Diameter of the cylindrical tank = 12 m
Radius (R) of the tank = 6 m
Height (h) of the tank = 2.5 m
In 1 hour water comes out of the pipe = 3.6 km = 3600 m
Let the total hrs = n
Volume of the water coming out of the pipe in n hrs = volume of the cylindrical tank
= 6 × 6 × 2.5
3600 n = 36 × 2.5 × 8 × 8
100 n = 8 × 8 × 2.5
1000 n = 8 × 8 × 25
n = = 1.6 hrs
n = 1 hrs 36 minutes
Now calculate the cost;
Cost of the water = Volume of the cylindrical tank × 0.07
= = 19.80 rs
So,
Total time required to fill the tank is 1 hr 36 minutes and the cost is 19.80 rs.
Water running in a cylindrical pipe of inner diameter 7 cm, is collected in a container at the rate of 192.5 litres per minute. Find the rate of flow of water in the pipe in km/hr.
Given,
Diameter of the cylindrical pipe = 7 cm
Radius of the pipe = 3.5 cm
Volumetric flow rate = 192.5 l/min
Flow rate =
Area = pi × r2 = 3.14 × 3.5 × 3.5 = 38.5 cm2
Since 1 l = 1dm3 = 1000 cm3
Volumetric flow rate = 192.5 × 1000 cm3/min
So,
Flow rate = = 5000 cm/min
Flow rate in km/h = 5000 cm/min = 5000 × 0.00001 km/( h) = 3 km/h
150 spherical marbles, each of diameter 14 cm, are dropped in a cylindrical vessel of diameter 7 cm containing some water, which are completely immersed in water. Find the rise in the level of water in the vessel.
Given,
Diameter of marble = 1.4 cm
Radius of marble = 0.7 cm
Number of marbles = 150
Diameter of cylinder = 7cm
Radius of cylinder = 3.5cm
150 × Volume of spherical marbles = volume of cylindrical vessel
⇒ 150 x × π × 0.7 × 0.7 × 0.7 = π × 3.5 × 3.5 × h
⇒ 50 x 4 x (0. 7)3 = (3.5)2 x h
⇒ 200 x 0.343 = 12.25 x h
⇒ = 5.6 = h
So,
h = 5.6 cm
The rise in the level of water in the vessel (h) = 5.6 cm
Marbles of diameters 1.4 cm are dropped into a cylindrical beaker of diameter 7 cm, containing some water. Find the number of marbles that should be dropped into beaker so that the water level rises by 5.6 cm.
Given,
Diameter of marble = 1.4 cm
Diameter of cylinder = 7 cm
Radius of cylinder = 3.5 cm
Cylinder height = 5.6 cm
Radius of marble = 0.7 cm
Volume of 1 marble = πr3
= = 1.4373
So,
Let the number of marbles be n,
Increase in the Volume of cylinder due to n marbles = πr2h
= 3.14 × 3.5 × 3.5 × 5.6 = 215.6 cm3
Hence the total numbers of marble required = = 150 marbles
In a village, a well with 10 m inside diameter, is dug 14 m deep. Earth taken out of it is spread all around to a width of 5 m to form an embankment. Find the height of the embankment. What value of the villagers is reflected here?
Given,
Diameter of the well = 10 m
Radius of the well = 5 m
Height of the well = 14 m
Width of the embankment = 5 m
Therefore radius of the embankment = 5 + 5 = 10 m
Let h be the height of the embankment,
Hence,
The volume of the embankment = volume of the well
π(R – r)2h = πr2h
(102 – 52) x h = 52 x 14
(100 – 25) x h = 25 x 14
h =
Therefore,
The height of the embankment, h = 4.67 m
In a corner of a rectangular field with dimensions 35 m × 22 m, a well with 14m inside diameters is dug 8 m deep. The earth dug out is spread evenly over the remaining part of the field. Find the rise in the level of the field.
Given,
Diameter of the well = 14 m
Radius of the well = 7 m
Height of the well = 8 m
Now,
Volume of the earth dug out of the well = πr2h
= × 7 × 7 × 8 = 1,232 m3
Area on which earth dug out is spread = l × b - r2h
= 35 × 22 - × 7 × 7
= 770 - 154 = 616 m
Level of the earth raised = = 2 m
So, the rise in the level of the field is 2 m.
A copper wire of diameter 6 mm is evenly wrapped on a cylinder of length 18 cm and diameter 49 cm to cover its whole surface. Find the length and the volume of the wire. If the density of copper be 8.8 g per cu-cm, find the weight of the wire.
Given,
Diameter of the copper wire = 6 mm = 0.6 cm
Radius of the copper wire = 0.3 cm
Length of the cylinder = 18 cm
Diameter of the cylinder = 49 cm
Radius of the cylinder = cm
Density of the copper = 8.8g
Number of the rotations on the cylinder = = 30 cm
Base circumference of the cylinder = 2πr = = 154 cm
So,
Length of the wire = 154 × 30 = 4620 cm
Volume of the wire = πr2h
= × 0.3 × 0.3 × 4620 = 1306.8
Weight of the wire = volume × density
= 1306.8 × 8.8 = 11,499.84 gm
A right triangle whose sides are 15 cm and 20 cm (Other than hypotenuse) , is made to revolve about its hypotenuse. Find the volume and surface area of the double cone so formed. (Choose value of π as found appropriate)
Let name the triangle, ABC
Given,
Sides of the triangle are 15 and 20 cm,
BD ⟘ AC.
In the given case BD is the radius of the double cone generated by triangle by revolving.
Now by Pythagoras theorem,
AC2 = AB2 + BC2
AC2 = (15)2 + (20)2
AC2 = 225 + 400
AC2 = 625 = (25)2
AC = 25 cm
Let AD be m cm;
∴ CD = (25 – m) cm
By using the Pythagoras theorem in ∆ABD and ∆CBD;
∆ABD,
AD2 + BD2 = AB2
m2 + BD2 = 225
BD2 = 225 – m2 ……….(i)
∆CBD,
BD2 + CD2 = BC2
BD2 + (25 – m)2 = (20)2
BD2 = (20)2 – (25 – m)2 …..(ii)
By putting both the equations (i) and (ii) together,
225 – m2 = (20)2 – (625 – m)2
225 – m2 = 400 – (625 + m2 – 50m) ……….by (a2 – b2)
225 – m2 = - 225 – m2 + 50m
225 – m2 + 225 + m2 = 50m
450 = 50m
So,
m = = 9 cm
BD2 = (15)2 – (9)2
BD2 = 225 – 81 = 144 cm
BD = 12 cm
Radius of the generated double cone = 12 cm
Now,
Volume of the cone generated = Volume of the upper cone + Volume of the lower cone
(AD + CD)
(12)2× (25)
= 1200π cm3 = 3,771.42 cm3
Surface area of the double cone formed;
= L.S.A of upper cone + L.S.A of the lower cone
= π (BD) × (AB) + π (BD) × (BC)
= π × 12cm × 15 cm + π × 12 cm × 20 cm
= 420π cm2 = 1320 cm2
So, the volume is 1200π cm3 and surface area is 420π cm2, of the double cone so formed.
A drinking glass is in the shape of a frustum of a cone of height 14 cm. The diameter of its two circular ends are 16 cm and 12 cm. Find the capacity of the glass.
Given: Height of glass = h = 14 cm
Diameter of lower circular end of glass = 12 cm
Diameter of upper circular end of glass = 16 cm
∴ Radius of lower circular end = r = 12/2 = 6 cm
∴ Radius of lower circular end = R = 16/2 = 8 cm
= 44 × 49.33 cm3
2170.52 cm3
∴ Capacity of glass = 2170.52 cm3
The radii of the circular ends of a solid frustum of a cone are 18 cm and 12 cm and its height is 8 cm. Find its total surface area. [Use π = 3.14.]
Given: Radius of lower circular end = r = 12 cm
Radius of upper circular end = R = 18 cm
Height of frustum = h = 8 cm
Formula: Total surface area of frustum = πr2 + πR2 + π(R + r)l cm2
Where l = slant height
For slant height we have
∴ l = 10 cm
∴ total surface area of frustum = π × 122 + π × 182 + π × (18 + 12) × 10 cm2
= 3.14 × (144 + 324 + 300) cm2
= 3.14 × 768 cm2
= 2411.52 cm2
∴ total surface area of frustum = 2411.52 cm2
A metallic bucket, open at the top, of height 24 cm is in the form of the frustum of a cone, the radii of whose lower and upper circular ends are 7 cm and 14 cm respectively. Find
(i) the volume of water which can completely fill the bucket;
(ii) the area of the metal sheet used to make the bucket.
Given: Height of bucket = h = 24 cm
Radius of lower circular end = r = 7 cm
Radius of upper circular end = R = 14 cm
Total surface area of frustum = πr2 + πR2 + π(R + r)l cm2
Where l = slant height
∴ l = 25 cm
(i) volume of water which will completely fill the bucket = volume of frustum
= 8 × 22 × 49
= 8722 cm3
∴ volume of water which will completely fill the bucket = 8722 cm3
(ii) area of metal sheet used
Since the top is open we need to subtract the area of top/upper circle from total surface area of frustum because we don’t require a metal plate for top.
Radius of top/upper circle = R
Area of upper circle = πR2
∴ area of metal sheet used = (total surface area of frustum)-πR2
∴ Area of metal sheet used = πr2 + πR2 + π(R + r)l-πR2cm2
= πr2 + π(R + r)l cm2
= 22 × 82 cm2
= 1804 cm2
∴ Area of metal sheet used to make bucket = 1804 cm2
A container, open the top, is in the form of a frustum of a cone of height 24 cm with radii of its lower and upper circular ends as 8 cm and 20 cm respectively. Find the cost of milk which can completely fill the container at the rate of Rs 24 per litre.
Given: height of frustum container = h = 24 cm
Radius of lower circular end = r = 8 cm
Radius of upper circular end = R = 20 cm
Cost of 1 litre milk = 24 Rs
Volume of milk completely fill the container = volume of frustum of cone
= 8 × 3.14 × (400 + 64 + 160) cm3
= 8 × 3.14 × 624 cm3
= 15674.88 cm3
Now, 1 litre is 1000 cm3
∴ 15674.88 cm3 = 15674.88/1000 = 15.67488 litres
∴ Cost of milk which can completely fill the container = 15.67488 × cost of 1 litre milk
= 15.67488 × 24 Rs
= 376.19712 Rs
∴ Cost of milk which can completely fill the container = 376.19712 Rs
A container, open at the top and made up of metal sheet, is in the form of a frustum of a cone of height 16 cm with diameters of its lower and upper ends as 16 cm and 14 cm respectively. Find the cost of metal sheet used to make the container, if it costs Rs 10 per 100 cm2.
Given: height of container frustum = h = 16 cm
Diameter of lower circular end = 16 cm
Diameter of upper circular end = 14 cm
∴ Radius of lower circular end = r = 16/2 = 8 cm
∴ Radius of upper circular end = R = 14/2 = 7 cm
Cost of 100 cm2 metal sheet = 10 Rs
∴ Cost of 1 cm2 metal sheet = 10/100 = 0.1 Rs
Formula: Total surface area of frustum = πr2 + πR2 + π(R + r)l cm2
Where l = slant height
∴ l = 16.0312 cm
Since the top is open we need to subtract the area of top/upper circle from total surface area of frustum because we don’t require a metal plate for top.
Radius of top/upper circle = R
Area of upper circle = πR2
∴ area of metal sheet used = (total surface area of frustum)-πR2
= πr2 + πR2 + π(R + r)l- πR2 cm2
= πr2 + π(R + r)l cm2
= π × (82 + (7 + 8)16.0312) cm2
= 3.14 × 304.468 cm2
= 956.029 cm2
∴ 956.029 cm2 metal sheet is required to make the container.
∴ Cost of 956.029 cm2 metal sheet = 956.029 × cost of 1 cm2 metal sheet
= 956.029 × 0.1 Rs
= 95.6029 Rs
∴ Cost of metal sheet required to make container = 95.6029 Rs
The radii of the circular ends of a solid frustum of a cone are 33 cm and 27 cm, and its slant height is 10 cm. Find its capacity and total surface area. [Take π = 22/7.]
Given: Radius of lower circular end = r = 27 cm
Radius of upper circular end = R = 33 cm
Slant height = l = 10cm
Total surface area of frustum = πr2 + πR2 + π(R + r)l cm2
Here h height of frustum is not given and we need h to find the volume of frustum therefore we must first calculate the value of h as follows
using formula for slant height and with the help of given data we get
Squaring both sides
∴ 100 = 36 + h2
∴ h2 = 64
∴ h = 8
As length cannot be negative
∴ h = 8 cm
= 22 × 8 × 129
= 22704 cm3
∴ capacity = volume of frustum = 22704 cm3
Total surface area of frustum = πr2 + πR2 + π(R + r)l cm2
= (22/7) × (1089 + 729 + 600)
= (22/7) × 2418
= 7599.428 cm2
∴ total surface area = 7599.428 cm2
A bucket is in the form of a frustum of a cone. Its depts. Is 15 cm and the diameters of the top and the bottom are 56 cm and 42 cm respectively. Find how many litres of water the bucket can hold. [Take π = 22/7.]
Given: Depth of the bucket = height of frustum = h = 15 cm
Diameter of top of bucket = 56 cm
Diameter of bottom of bucket = 42 cm
∴ Radius of top = R = 56/2 = 28 cm
∴ Radius of bottom = r = 42/2 = 21 cm
Volume of water bucket can hold = volume of bucket which is in form of frustum
= (22/7) × 5 × (784 + 441 + 588) cm3
= (22/7) × 5 × 1813 cm3
= 22 × 5 × 259 cm3
= 28490 cm3
Now 1 litre = 1000 cm3
∴ 28490 cm3 = 28490/1000 litres
= 28.49 litres
∴ bucket can hold 28.49 litres of water
A bucket made up of a metal sheet is in the form of frustum of a cone of height 16 cm with radii of its lower and upper ends as 8 cm and 20 cm respectively. Find the cost of the bucket if the cost of metal sheet used is Rs 15 per 100 cm2. [Use π = 3.14.]
Given: height of container frustum = h = 16 cm
Radius of lower circular end = r = 8 cm
Radius of upper circular end = R = 20 cm
Cost of 100 cm2 metal sheet = 15 Rs
∴ Cost of 1 cm2 metal sheet = 15/100 = 0.15 Rs
Formula: Total surface area of frustum = πr2 + πR2 + π(R + r)l cm2
Where l = slant height
∴ l = 20 cm
Since it is given that a bucket is to be made hence the top is open we need to subtract the area of top/upper circle from total surface area of frustum because we don’t require a metal plate for top.
Radius of top/upper circle = R
Area of upper circle = πR2
∴ area of metal sheet used = (total surface area of frustum)-πR2
= πr2 + πR2 + π(R + r)l- πR2 cm2
= πr2 + π(R + r)l cm2
= π × (82 + (20 + 8)20) cm2
= 3.14 × 624 cm2
= 1959.36 cm2
∴ 1959.36 cm2 metal sheet is required to make the container.
∴ Cost of 1959.36 cm2 metal sheet = 1959.36 × cost of 1 cm2 metal sheet
= 1959.36 × 0.15 Rs
= 293.904 Rs
∴ Cost of metal sheet required to make container = 293.904 Rs
A bucket made up of a metal sheet is in the form of frustum of a cone. Its depth is 24 cm and the diameters of the top and bottom are 30 cm and 10 cm respectively. Find the cost of milk which can completely fill the bucket at the rate of Rs 20 per litre and the cost of metal sheet used if it costs Rs 10 per 100 cm2. [Use π = 3.14.]
Given: depth of bucket = height of bucket/frustum = h = 24 cm
Diameter of lower circular end = 10 cm
Diameter of upper circular end = 30 cm
∴ Radius of lower circular end = r = 10/2 = 5 cm
∴ Radius of lower circular end = R = 30/2 = 15 cm
Cost of 100 cm2 metal sheet = 10 Rs
∴ Cost of 1 cm2 metal sheet = 10/100 = 0.1 Rs
Cost of 1 litre milk = 20 Rs
Total surface area of frustum = πr2 + πR2 + π(R + r)l cm2
Where l = slant height
∴ l = 26 cm
Since the top is open we need to subtract the area of top/upper circle from total surface area of frustum because we don’t require a metal plate for top.
Radius of top/upper circle = R
Area of upper circle = πR2
∴ area of metal sheet used = (total surface area of frustum)-πR2
= πr2 + πR2 + π(R + r)l- πR2 cm2
= πr2 + π(R + r)l cm2
= π × (52 + (15 + 5)26) cm2
= 3.14 × 545 cm2
= 1711.3 cm2
∴ 1711.3 cm2 metal sheet is required to make the container.
∴ Cost of 1711.3 cm2 metal sheet = 1711.3 × cost of 1 cm2 metal sheet
= 1711.3 × 0.1 Rs
= 171.13 Rs
∴ Cost of metal sheet required to make container = 171.13 Rs
Now,
Volume of milk which can completely fill the bucket = volume of frustum
= (1/3) × 3.14 × 26 × 325 cm3
= 26533/3 cm3
= 8844.33 cm3
Now 1 litre = 1000 cm3
∴ 8844.33 cm3 = 8844.33/1000 litres
= 8.84433 litres
∴ Volume of milk which can completely fill the bucket = 8.84433 litres
∴ Cost of milk which can completely fill the bucket = volume of milk which can completely
fill the bucket × cost of 1 litre milk Rs
= 8.84433 × 20 Rs
= 176.8866 Rs
Cost of milk which can completely fill the bucket = 176.8866 Rs
A container in the shape of a frustum of a cone having diameters of its two circular faces as 35 cm and 30 cm and vertical height 14 cm, is completely filled with oil. If each cm3 of oil has mass 1.2g, then find the cost of oil in the container if it costs Rs 40 per kg.
Given: height of container/frustum = h = 14 cm
Diameter of top of container = 35 cm
Diameter of bottom of container = 30 cm
∴ Radius of top = R = 35/2 = 17.5 cm
∴ Radius of bottom = r = 30/2 = 15 cm
1 cm3 of oil = 1.2g of oil
Cost of 1 kg oil = 40 Rs
Volume of oil in container = volume of container which is in form of frustum
= (22/3) × 2 × (306.25 + 225 + 262.5) cm3
= (22/3) × 2 × 793.75 cm3
= 34925/3 cm3
= 11641.667 cm3
∴ Volume of oil in container = 11641.667 cm3
∴ 11641.667 cm3 of oil = 11641.667 × 1.2 g
= 13970.0004 g
We know 1000 g = 1 kg
∴ 13970.0004 g = 13970.0004/1000 kg
= 13.970 kg
∴ Cost of 13.970 kg oil = 13.970 × cost of 1 kg oil Rs
= 13.970 × 40 Rs
= 558.8 Rs
∴ Cost of oil in container = 558.8 Rs
A bucket is in the form of a frustum of a cone and its can hold 28.49 litres of water. If the radii of its circular ends are 28 cm and 21 cm, find the height of the bucket.
Given: volume of bucket = 28.49 litres
1 litre = 1000 cm3
∴ 28.49 litres = 28.49 × 1000 cm3
∴ Volume of bucket = 28490 cm3
Radius of upper circular end = R = 28 cm
Radius of lower circular end = r = 21 cm
Let ‘h’ be the height of the bucket
Volume of bucket = volume of frustum of cone
∴ 28490 × 21 = h × 22 × (784 + 441 + 588)
∴ h = 598290/39886 cm
∴ h = 15 cm
∴ Height of bucket = h = 15 cm
The radii of the circular ends of a bucket of height 15 cm are 14 cm and r cm (r < 14). If the volume of the bucket is 5390 cm3, find the value of r.
Given: volume of bucket = 5390 cm3
Radius of upper circular end = R = 14 cm
Radius of lower circular end = r cm & r is less than 14
Height of bucket = h = 15
Volume of bucket = volume of frustum of cone
∴ 5390 × 7 = 22 × 5 × (196 + r2 + 14r)
∴ 37730/110 = 196 + r2 + 14r
∴ 343 = 196 + r2 + 14r
∴ r2 + 14r-147 = 0
∴ r2 + 21r-7r-147 = 0
∴ r(r + 21)-7(r + 21) = 0
∴ (r-7)(r + 21) = 0
∴ r = 7 or r = -21
Since we require r<14 ∴ r = 7 cm
The radii of the circular ends of a solid frustum of a cone are 33 cm and 27 cm and its slant height is 10 cm. Find its total surface area. [Use π = 3.14.]
Given: Radius of lower circular end = r = 27 cm
Radius of upper circular end = R = 33 cm
Slant height = l = 10cm
Formula: Total surface area of frustum = πr2 + πR2 + π(R + r)l cm2
= 3.14 × (332 + 272 + (33 + 27) × 10) cm2
= 3.14 × (1089 + 729 + 600) cm2
= 3.14 × 2418 cm2
= 7592.52 cm2
∴ total surface area = 7592.52 cm2
A tent is made in the form of a frustum of a cone surmounted by another cone. The diameter of the base and the top of the frustum are 20 m and 6 m respectively, and the height is 24 m. If the height of the tent is 28 m and the radius of the conical part is equal to the radius of the top of the frustum, find the quantity of canvas required. [Take π = 22/7.]
Given: Diameter of base of frustum = 20 m
Diameter of top of frustum = 6 m
∴ Radius of base = R = 20/2 = 10 m
∴ Radius of top = r = 6/2 = 3 m
Height of frustum = hf = 24 m
Height of tent = ht = 28 m
∴ height of cone = hc = ht -hf = 28-24 = 4 m
Formula: Total surface area of frustum = πr2 + πR2 + π(R + r)lf m2
Total surface area of cone = πrlc
Where lf = slant height of frustum & lc = slant height of cone
∴ lf = 25 m
For slant height of cone consider right angled ΔABC from figure
AB = hc = 4 m ; BC = r = 3 m ; AC = lc
By pythagoras theorm
AB2 + BC2 = AC2
∴ 42 + 32 = lc2
∴ lc = 5
Since length cannot be negative lc = 5 m
Since for tent we don’t require the upper circle of frustum and the lower circle of frustum hence we should subtract their area as we don’t require canvas for that.
Surface area of upper circle = πr2
Surface area of lower circle = πR2
∴ Surface area of frustum for which canvas is required = πr2 + πR2 + π(R + r)lf - πr2-πR2cm2
= π(R + r)lfm2
= (22/7) × (10 + 3) × 25 m2
= (22/7) × 325 m2
= 1021.4285 m2
Surface area of cone = πrlc m2
= (22/7) × 3 × 5 m2
= (22/7) × 15 m2
= 47.1428 m2
∴ Quantity of canvas required = surface area of frustum + surface area of cone
= 1021.4285 + 47.1428 m2
= 1068.5713 m2
∴ Quantity of canvas required = 1068.5713 m2
A tent consists of a frustum of a cone, surmounted by a cone. If the diameter of the upper and lower circular ends of the frustum be 14 m and 26 m respectively, the height of the frustum be 8 m and the height of the surmounted conical portion be 12 m, find the area of the canvas required to make the tent. (Assume that the radii of the upper circular end of the frustum and the base of the surmounted conical portion are equal.)
Given: Diameter of base of frustum = 26 m
Diameter of top of frustum = 14 m
∴ Radius of base = R = 26/2 = 13 m
∴ Radius of top = r = 14/2 = 7 m
Height of frustum = hf = 8 m
∴ height of cone = hc = 12 m
Formula: Total surface area of frustum = πr2 + πR2 + π(R + r)lf m2
Total surface area of cone = πrlc
Where lf = slant height of frustum & lc = slant height of cone
∴ lf = 10 m
Consider right angled ΔABC from figure
AB = hc = 12 m ; BC = r = 7 m ; AC = lc
By pythagoras theorm
AB2 + BC2 = AC2
∴ 122 + 72 = lc2
∴ lc = 13.892
Since length cannot be negative lc = 13.892 m
Since for tent we don’t require the upper circle of frustum and the lower circle of frustum hence we should subtract their area as we don’t require canvas for that.
Surface area of upper circle = πr2
Surface area of lower circle = πR2
∴ Surface area of frustum for which canvas is required = πr2 + πR2 + π(R + r)lf - πr2-πR2cm2
= π(R + r)lfm2
= 3.14 × (13 + 7) × 10 m2
= 3.14 × 200 m2
= 628 m2
Surface area of cone = πrlc m2
= 3.14 × 7 × 13.892 m2
= 3.14 × 97.244 m2
= 305.346 m2
∴ Quantity of canvas required = surface area of frustum + surface area of cone
= 628 + 305.346 m2
= 933.346 m2
∴ Quantity of canvas required = 933.346 m2
The perimeters of the two circular ends of a frustum of a cone are 48 cm and 36 cm. If the height of the frustum is 11 cm. find its volume and curved surface area.
Given: perimeter of upper circle = 36 cm
Perimeter of lower circle = 48 cm
Height of frustum = h = 11 cm
Let r: radius of upper circle & R: radius of lower circle
Total surface area of frustum = πr2 + πR2 + π(R + r)l cm2
Where l = slant height
Now perimeter of circle = circumference of circle = 2π × radius
∴ Perimeter of upper circle = 2πr
∴ 36 = 2 × 3.14 × r
∴ r = 36/6.28 cm
∴ r = 5.732 cm
∴ Perimeter of lower circle = 2πR
∴ 48 = 2 × 3.14 × R
∴ R = 48/6.28 cm
∴ R = 7.643 cm
∴ l = 11.164 cm
∴ Volume of frustum = (1/3) × 3.14 × 11 × (7.6432 + 5.7322 + 7.643 × 5.732) cm3
= (1/3) × 34.54 × (58.415 + 32.855 + 43.809) cm3
= 11.513 × 135.079 cm3
= 1555.164 cm3
∴ Volume of frustum = 1555.164 cm3
Now we have asked curved surface area so we should subtract the top and bottom surface areas which are flat circles.
Surface area of top = πr2
Surface area of bottom = πR2
∴ Curved surface area = total surface area - πr2 - πR2 cm2
= πr2 + πR2 + π(R + r)l - πr2 - πR2 cm2
= π(R + r)l cm2
= 3.14 × (7.643 + 5.732) × 11.164 cm2
= 3.14 × 13.375 × 11.164 cm2
= 468.86 cm2
∴ curved surface area = 468.86 cm2
A solid cone of base radius 10 cm is cut into two parts through the midpoint of its height, by a plane parallel to its base. Find the ratio of the volumes of the two parts of the cone.
Let ‘H’ be the height of cone ‘R’ be the radius of base of cone.
R = 10 cm
When the cone is cut at midpoint of H by a plane parallel to its base we get a cone of height H/2 and a frustum also of height H/2
Let the radius of the base of the cone which we got after cutting and the radius of upper circle of frustum be ‘r’ as shown in figure
From figure consider ΔABC and ΔADE
∠ABC = ∠ADE = 90˚
∠BAC = ∠DAE …(common angle)
as two angles are equal by AA criteria we can say that
ΔABC∼ΔADE
∴ r = 5 cm
Let Vc be volume of the cone and Vf be the volume of frustum
Volume of cone = (1/3)π(radius)2(height) cm3
∴ Vc = (1/3) × π × r2 × (H/2) cm3
= (1/3) × π × 52 × (H/2) cm3
= (1/3) × π × 25 × (H/2) cm3
Volume of frustum = (1/3)πh(R2 + r2 + Rr) cm3
∴ Vf = (1/3) × π × (H/2)(102 + 52 + 10 × 5) cm3
= (1/3) × π × (H/2) × 175 cm3
∴ The ratio of volumes of two parts after cutting = Vc:Vf = 1:7
The height of a right circular cone is 20 cm. A small cone is cut off at the top by a plane parallel to the base. If its volume be 1/8 of the volume of the given cone, at what height above the base is the section made?
Let the cutting plane be passing through points B and C as shown
Height of cone = AD = H = 20 cm
Height of small cone which we get after cutting = AB = hc
Let ‘r’ be the radius of small cone ∴ we have BC = r
‘R’ be radius of original cone which is to be cut ∴ we have DE = R
From figure consider ΔABC and ΔADE
∠ABC = ∠ADE = 90˚
∠BAC = ∠DAE …(common angle)
as two angles are equal by AA criteria we can say that
ΔABC∼ΔADE
Let V1 be the volume of cone to be cut
Let V2 be the volume of small cone which we get after cutting
Volume of cone = (1/3)π(radius)2(height) cm3
∴ V1 = (1/3) × π × R2 × hc
∴ V2 = (1/3) × π × r2 × 20
Given is that the volume of small cone is (1/8) times the original cone
∴ V2 = (1/8) V1
∴ (1/3) × π × r2 × 20 = (1/8) × (1/3) × π × R2 × hc
Using equation (i) we get
∴ hc3 = 203/8 cm
∴ hc = 20/2 cm
∴ hc = 10 cm
But we have to find the height from base i.e. we have to find BD from figure
∴ 20 = BD + hc
∴ 20 = BD + 10
∴ BD = 10 cm
∴ 10 cm above base the section is made.
A solid metallic right circular cone 20 cm high and whose vertical angle is 60˚, is cut into two parts at the middle of its height by a plane parallel to its base. If the frustum so obtained be drawn into a wire of diameter 1/12cm, find the length of the wire.
Let ‘R’ be the radius of the base of the cone which is also the base of frustum i.e. lower circular end as shown in the figure
DE = R
Let ‘r’ be the radius of the upper circular end of frustum which we get after cutting the cone
BC = r
The height of the cone is 20 cm and we had cut the cone at midpoint therefore height of the frustum so obtained is 10 cm
Vertical angle as shown in the figure is 60˚
Now a wire of diameter 1/12 (i.e. radius 1/24) is made out of the frustum let ‘l’ be the length of the wire
As we are using the full frustum to make wire therefore volumes of both the frustum and the wire must be equal.
∴ Volume of frustum = volume of wire made …(i)
Consider ΔABC
∠BAC = 30˚ ; AB = 10 cm ; BC = r
∴ r = 10/√3 cm
Consider ΔADE
∠DAE = 30˚ ; AD = 20 cm ; DE = R
∴ R = 20/√3 cm
Now using equation (i)
∴ 7000/9 = l/576
∴ 777.778 = l/576
∴ l = 448000 cm
Length of wire = 448000 cm
A fez, the cap used by the Turks, is shaped like the frustum of a cone. If its radius on the open side is 10 cm, radius at the upper base is 4 cm and its slant height is 15 cm, find the area of material used for making it. [Use π = 22/7.]
Given: Radius of lower circular end = R = 10 cm
Radius of upper circular end = r = 4 cm
Slant height = l = 15cm
Formula: Total surface area of frustum = πr2 + πR2 + π(R + r)l cm2
As the lower circular end is open we need to subtract the area of lower circular end from total surface area since we don’t require material for lower circular end it should be open so that it is wearable.
∴ Total surface area = πr2 + πR2 + π(R + r)l- πR2 cm2
= (22/7) × (42 + (10 + 4) × 15) cm2
= (22/7) × (16 + 210) cm2
= 22 × 226/7 cm2
= 710.285 cm2
∴ total surface area = 710.285 cm2
∴ Area of material used = 710.285 cm2
An oil funnel made of tin sheet consist of a 10 cm long cylindrical portion attached to a frustum of a cone. If the total height is 22 cm, diameter of the cylindrical portion is 8 cm and the diameter of the top of the funnel is 18 cm, find the area of the tin sheet required to make the funnel.
Divide the funnel into two parts frustum and cylinder as shown in the figure
Parameters of frustum:
Diameter of upper circular end = 18 cm
∴ Radius of upper circular end = r = 18/2 = 9 cm
The radius of cylinder is equal to the radius of lower circular end of frustum
∴ radius of lower circular end = R = 4 cm
Height of frustum = total height – height of cylinder
= 22 – 10
= 12 cm
∴ height of frustum = h = 12 cm
Total surface area of frustum = πr2 + πR2 + π(R + r)l cm2
Where l = slant height
∴ l = 13 cm
Since for the frustum part of the funnel we don’t require the upper circular end and the lower circular end hence we need to subtract those areas from total surface area.
Area of upper circular end = πr2
Area of lower circular end = πR2
total surface area = πr2 + πR2 + π(R + r)l- πr2- πR2
= π(R + r)l
= 3.14 × (9 + 4) × 13
= 530.66 cm2
∴ total surface area of frustum for which tin is required = 530.66 cm2
Parameters of cylinder:
Height of cylinder = 10 cm
Radius of cylinder = 4 cm
∴ Area of tin require to make cylinder = 2π × (radius) × (height)
= 2 × 3.14 × 4 × 10
= 251.2 cm2
∴ Area of tin required to make the funnel = area of frustum for which tin is required + area
of tin require to make cylinder
∴ area of tin required to make funnel = 530.66 + 251.2
= 781.86 cm2
∴ Area of tin sheet require to make the funnel = 781.86 cm2

Width of the river = 36 m
Flow rate of river = 3.5 km/hr
Now first change the rate of flow of the water in meter/min
As we know,
1 km = 1000 m
1 hour = 60 minutes
So,
River travel in a minute = 350/6 m
Now,
The amount of water that runs into sea per minute;
350/6 × 1.5 × 36 = 350 × 1.5 × 6 = 3150
So,
The amount of water that runs into the sea per minute is 3150 m3

Edge of the first cube = 6 cm
Volume of the first cube = a3 = (6)3 cm
Edge of the second cube = 8 cm
Volume of the second cube = a3 = (8)3 cm
Edge of the third cube = 10 cm
Volume of the third cube = a3 = (10)3 cm
So,
Volume of the formed cube = Volume of the First + Second + Third Cube
Volume of the formed cube = v1 + v2 + v3
= 63 + 83 + 103
= 216 + 512 + 1000
= 1728
Now volume of new cube = a3= 1728
Edge of new cube = a = ∛1728
a = 12
Therefore surface area of new cube = 6a2
= 6 × 122
= 6 × 12 × 12
= 864 cm2

= 5 x 5 = 25 cm
Breadth (b) of the resulting cuboid = 5 cm
Height (h) of the resulting cuboid = 5 cm
So,
Volume of the resulting cuboid = l × b × h
= 25 x 5 x 5
= 625 cm3
Hence,
The volume of the resulting cube is 625 cm3

⇒ h3 = 8
⇒ h = 3√8
Therefore,
h = 2 cm
So,

As,
Volume of the cylinder = 12936 cm3
⇒ πr2h=12936
⇒ 22/7 × r2 × 3r/2=12936 [Using (i)]
⇒ 33/7 × r3=12936
⇒ r3 = 12936 × 7/33
⇒ r3 = 2744
⇒ r = 3√2744
Therefore,
r = 14 cm
So,
The radius of the base of the cylinder is 14 cm.

Therefore,
l = 8400 cm = 84 m

Height of the right circular cone = 84 cm
Let the radius of the cone = r
And the slant height of the cone = l
As,
Area of the base of the cone = 3850 cm2
⇒ πr2 = 3850
⇒ 227 × r2 = 3850
⇒ r2 = 3850 × 722
⇒ r2 = 1225
⇒ r = √1225
Therefore,
r = 35 cm
Now,
length = √h2 + r2
= √(84)2 + (35)2
= √7056 + 1225
= √8281
= 91 cm
So,
The slant height of the given cone is 91 cm.

⇒ R2 = 64
⇒ R = √64
Therefore,
R = 8 cm
So,

A copper sphere of diameter 18 cm is drawn into wire of diameter 4 mm. Find the length of the wire.
The basic concept required to solve any such question is that the volume of the two figures will be same, so here we will equate the volume of sphere to that of wire which is in shape of a cylinder and subsequently will find out the height of the cylinder.
Given diameter of copper sphere = D = 18 cm
∴ Radius of the sphere = R = d/2=18/2 = 9 cm
As we know the wire is cylindrical in shape so,
Let the height of the cylindrical wire be ‘h’ cm
Given diameter of cylindrical wire = d = 4 mm
⇒ Radius of the cylindrical wire = r = d/2= 4/2= 2 mm= 0.2 cm (∵ 1 mm = 0.1 cm)
Volume of a sphere=(where R=radius of sphere)→eqn1
(putting value of R in eqn 1)
⇒ Volume of sphere = 4π × 243= 972π cm3→eqn2
Volume of cylinder = πr2h
Where r = radius of base of cylinder and h = height of cylinder
⇒ Volume of cylindrical wire = π × (0.2)2 × h (putting value of r)
= 0.04π × h cm3→eqn3
Now on equating equation 2 and equation 3, we get,
Volume of sphere = Volume of cylindrical wire
⇒ 972π = 0.04πh
⇒ π(927) = π(0.04h) (taking π common on both sides)
⇒ 927 = 0.04h
∴ h = 24300 cm
The height of cylindrical wire is 24300 cm or 243 m.

Given height of frustum = h =6 cm
Radius of top = r = 6 cm
Radius of bottom = R = 14 cm
Let the slant height of the frustum be ‘ℓ’ cm
We know in frustum
(Slant height)2 = (height)2 + (R – r)2→eqn1
⇒ ℓ2 = 62 + (14 – 6)2 (putting values of r, R and h in eqn1)
⇒ ℓ2 = 36 + 82
⇒ ℓ2 = 36 + 64
⇒ ℓ2 = 100
⇒ ℓ = √100
∴ ℓ = 10 cm
Slant height of the frustum is 10 cm.

∴ The longest diagonal of cube = the diameter of the sphere
Consider ΔBCD, ∠BDC = 90°
BD = CD = a units (as they are the edges of cube)
⇒ BC2 = a2 + a2 (putting value of BD and CD)
⇒BC2 = 2a2
⇒BC = √(2a2)
∴ BC = a√2 units →eqn1
Now consider ΔABC, ∠ABC = 90°
Here, AB = a units and BC = a√2 units
⇒AC2 = a2 + (a√2)2 (putting values of AB and BC)
⇒ AC2 = a2 + 2a2
⇒AC2 = 3a2
⇒AC = √(3a2)
∴ AC = a√3 units
∴ Diameter of sphere = D = a√3 units
And we know, D = 2 × R
⇒ R = D/2 (put value of D )
Also, Volume of a sphere→eqn2
Put value of R in eqn2
∴ Volume of sphere = πa2 cubic units → eqn3
Volume of cube = (edge)3
∴ Volume of cube = a3 cubic units →eqn4

Let the radius of cylinder, cone and sphere be ‘r’ cm
Let the diameter of cylinder, sphere and cone be ‘2r’ units
∴ Height of cylinder, cone, sphere = h = 2r units

⇒ Volume of cylinder : Volume of Cone : Volume of sphere
(dividing the above relation by (πr3)
(dividing the above ratio by 2)

Two cubes each of volume 125 cm3 are joined end to form a solid. Find the surface area of the resulting cuboid.
Given volume of each cube = 125 cm3
Let the edge of each cube be ‘a’ cm
So, Volume of cube = a3
⇒ a3 = 125
⇒ a = ∛(125)
∴ a = 5 cm →eqn1
Now when we join the two cubes then resulting cuboid will be of length twice that of the cube and breadth and height of the resulting cuboid will be same as that of the cube
⇒ length of cuboid = L = 2 × a
⇒ L = 2 × 5 (putting value of a from eqn1)
∴ L = 10 cm
Now, Breadth of cuboid = B = a
⇒ B = 5 cm
Similarly, height of the cuboid = H = 5 cm
Note: Where ever in a question Surface Area is mentioned, it means Total surface area.
Surface area = Total surface area = 2(LB + BH + HL)
⇒ S.A = 2((10 × 5) + (5 × 5) + (10 × 5))
⇒ S.A = 2(50 + 25 + 50)
⇒ S.A = 2 × 125
∴ S.A = 250 cm2
Surface Area of resulting cuboid is 250 cm2.
Three metallic cubes whose edges are 3 cm, 4 cm and 5 cm, are melted and recast into a single large cube. Find the edge of the new cube formed.
Let the edges of cubes be a1, a2 and a3
So, a1 = 3 cm, a2 = 4 cm, and a3 = 5 cm
Explanation: Here the sum of volumes of all three cubes will be equal to the volume of the resulting larger cube as the resulting cube is formed by melting the three cubes.
Volume of cube with edge a1 = v1 = (a1)3
⇒v1 = (3)3
∴ v1 = 27 cm3→eqn1
Similarly
Volume of cube with edge a2 = v2 = (a2)3
⇒v2 = (4)3
∴ v2 = 64 cm3→eqn2
Volume of cube with edge a3 = v3 = (a3)3
⇒v3 = (5)3
∴ v3 = 125 cm3→eqn3
Now let the volume of resulting cube be ‘V’ cm3
So, V = v1 + v2 + v3
⇒ V = 27 + 64 + 125 (from eqn1, eqn2 and eqn3)
∴ V = 216 cm3→eqn4
Let the edge of resulting cube be ‘a’ cm
So, volume of the resulting cube = V = a3→eqn5
Equate equation 4 and 5,
⇒ a3 = 216
⇒ a = ∛(216)
∴ a = 6 cm
The edge of new cube formed is 6 cm.
A solid metallic sphere of diameter 8 cm is melted and drawn into a cylindrical wire of uniform width. If the length of the wire is 12 m, find its width.
Let the diameter of sphere be ‘D’ and Radius of sphere be ‘R’
∴ D = 8 m
Also, we know
R = D/2
⇒ R = 8/2
∴ R = 4 m
Explanation: Here the volume of sphere will be equal to the volume of the resulting cylinder as the resulting cylinder is formed by melting the sphere.
Volume of the sphere, V1
Let the length/height of the cylinder be ‘H’ and let the radius of the cylinder be ‘r’ and volume of the cylinder be ‘V2’
∴ H = 12 m
Volume of the cylinder = V2 = π(r2)H
⇒ V2 = π(r2) × 12 (putting value of H)
⇒ V2 = 12π × r2 m3→eqn2
Now equate equation 1 and 2,
⇒ V2 = V1
∴ r = 2.66 m
Width of cylinder = diameter of cylinder = 2 × radius
⇒ Width of cylinder = 2 × r
⇒ Width of cylinder = 2 × 2.66
∴ Width of cylinder = 5.32 m
Width of the resulting cylinder is 5.32 m
A 5-m-wide cloth is used to make a conical tent of base diameter 14 m and height 24 m. Find the cost of cloth used, at the rate of Rs 25 per metre.
Let the length of the cloth used be ‘L’ cm
Area of cloth used = 5 × L →eqn1
Also, Given Diameter = d = 14 m and height = h = 24 m
∴ Radius = r = D/2
⇒ r = 14/2
∴ r = 7 m
Let the slant height of the cone be ℓ m
So, (Slant height)2 = (Height)2 + (Radius)2
Put the values in the above relation
⇒ ℓ2 = h2 + r2
⇒ ℓ2 = 242 + 72
⇒ ℓ2 = 576 + 49
⇒ ℓ2 = 625
⇒ ℓ = √(625)
∴ ℓ = 25 cm →eqn1
Also, we know Curved Surface Area of cone = πrℓ
Where r = radius of base, ℓ = slant height
C.S.A = π × 7 × 25
⇒ C.S.A = 22 × 25
⇒ C.S.A = 550 m2→eqn2
Now the Curved surface area of conical tent will be equal to the area of the cloth used to make the tent
⇒ C.S.A = Area of cloth
⇒ 550 = 5 × L (from eqn1 and eqn2)
∴ L = 110 m
So, cost of the cloth used = rate of cloth × Length of the cloth
⇒ Cost of cloth used = 25 × 110
⇒ Cost of cloth = Rs.2750
Cost of the cloth used is Rs. 2750
A wooden toy was made by scooping out a hemisphere of same radius from each end of a solid cylinder. If the height of the cylinder is 10 cm and its base is of radius 3.5 cm, find the volume of wood in the toy.
Given height of cylinder = h = 10 cm
Radius of cylinder = r = 3.5 cm
Radius of hemisphere = R = 3.5 cm
Explanation: In this question the volume of wood in toy can be calculated by subtracting the volume of two hemisphere from the volume of cylinder.
So, volume of cylinder = πr2h
Where r = radius of cylinder and h = height of cylinder
⇒ Volume of cylinder = π × (3.5)2 × 10 (from given values)
⇒ Volume of cylinder = π × 12.25 × 10
∴ Volume of cylinder = 122.5π cm3→eqn1
Volume of a hemisphere(where R is radius of hemisphere)
∴ Volume of two hemisphere

Three cubes of a metal whose edge are in the ratio 3:4:5 are melted and converted into a single cube whose diagonal is 12 √3 cm. Find the edges of the three cubes.
Let the edges of metal cubes be a1, a2 and a3
And it is given that ratio of edges is 3:4:5
So, let a1 = 3x, a2 = 4x and a3 = 5x
Volume of cube with edge a1 = v1 = (a1)3
⇒v1 = (3x)3
∴ v1 = 27x3 cm3→eqn1
Similarly
Volume of cube with edge a2 = v2 = (a2)3
⇒v2 = (4x)3
∴ v2 = 64x3 cm3→eqn2
Volume of cube with edge a3 = v3 = (a3)3
⇒v3 = (5x)3
∴ v3 = 125x3 cm3→eqn3
Now let the volume of resulting cube be ‘V’ cm3
So, V = v1 + v2 + v3
⇒ V = 27x3 + 64x3 + 125x3 (from eqn1, eqn2 and eqn3)
∴ V = 216x3 cm3→eqn4
It is given that the diagonal of the resulting cube is 12√3 cm
Let the edge of resulting cube be ‘a’ cm
Consider ΔBCD, ∠BDC = 90°
BD = CD = a cm (as they are the edges of cube)
⇒ BC2 = a2 + a2 (putting value of BD and CD)
⇒BC2 = 2a2
⇒BC = √(2a2)
∴ BC = a√2 cm
Now consider ΔABC, ∠ABC = 90°
Here, AB = a cm and BC = a√2 cm and AC = 12√3 cm
⇒(12√3)2 = a2 + (a√2)2 (putting values of AB, AC and BC)
⇒ 144 × 3 = a2 + 2a2
⇒ 144 × 3 = 3a2
⇒ 144 = a2
⇒ a = √144
∴ a = 12 cm
So, volume of the resulting cube = V = a3
⇒ V = 123 (putting value of a)
∴ V = 1728 cm3 –eqn5
Equate equation 4 and 5
⇒ 216x3 = 1728
⇒ x3 = 1728/216
⇒ x3 = 8
⇒ x = ∛8
∴ x = 2
So a1 = 3x = 3 × 2
⇒ a1 = 6 cm
Similarly a2 = 4x = 4 × 2
∴ a2 = 8 cm
Similarly a3 = 5x = 5 × 2
∴ a3 = 10 cm
The edges of three cubes are 6 cm, 8 cm and 10 cm.
A hollow sphere of external and internal diameter 8 cm and 4 cm respectively is melted into a solid cone of base diameter 8 cm. Find the height of the cone.
External diameter of hollow sphere = D = 8 cm
⇒ External radius of hollow sphere = R = D/2
⇒ R = 8/2
⇒ R = 4 cm
Internal diameter of hollow sphere = d = 4 cm
⇒ Internal radius of hollow sphere = r = d/2
⇒ r = 4/2
⇒ r = 2 cm
Let the height of the resulting cone be ‘h’ cm
Let the volume of External sphere be V1 and that of internal be V2.
Explanation: Here the volume of hollow sphere will be equal to the volume of the resulting cone as the resulting cone is formed by melting the sphere.
Volume of the External sphere=(put the value of R)
Volume of sphere = V = External volume – Internal volume
Given base radius of the resulting cone = r’ = 8 cm
Le the height be ‘h’ and volume of the resulting cone be V’
(putting value of r' )
Equate equation 3 and 4,
⇒ V = V’
⇒ 224 = 64h
⇒ h = 224/64
∴ h = 3.5 cm
The height of resulting cone is 3.5 cm.

Upper end radius of frustum = d/2= 28/2 = 14 cm
Lower end radius of frustum = D/2 = 42/2 =21 cm
Height of the frustum = 24 cm
And we know,
The amount of milk that bucket can hold = Volume of the bucket
And, Volume of bucket = Volume of Frustum
∴ Amount of milk that bucket can hold = Volume of frustum
⇒Volume of frustum
Where R = Radius of larger or lower end and r = Radius of smaller or upper end and h = height of frustum π = 22/7
⇒Volume of frustum
= 22 × 8 × 133
∴ Volume of frustum = 23408 cm3
Also we know that 1 litre = 1000 cm3
⇒ Volume of frustum in litre = 23408/1000= 23.408 litre
⇒ Amount of milk that the bucket hold = 23.408 litre
⇒ The cost of milk = Rate of milk × amount of milk bucket holds
⇒ The cost of milk = 30 × 23.408
∴ = Rs. 702.24
The cost of milk is Rs.702.24
The interior of a building is in the form of a right circular of diameter 4.2 m and height 4 m surmounted by a cone of same diameter. The height of the cone is 2.8 m. Find the outer surface area of the building.
Explanation: Here in order to find th outer surface area of building we need to simply add the curved surface areas of cone and cylinder.
Given height of cylinder = h = 4 m
Height of cone = h’ = 2.8 m
Diameter of cylinder = diameter of cone = d = 4.2 m
⇒ Radius of cone = Radius of cylinder = d/2 =4.2m/2 = 2.1 m
Outer surface area of building = C.S.A of cylinder + C.S.A of cone
Now, C.S.A of cylinder = 2πrh →eqn1
Where r = radius of base of cylinder, h = height of cylinder
And C.S.A of cone = πrℓ →eqn2
Where r = radius of base of cone, ℓ = Slant height of cone
We know in a cone
(Slant height)2 = (height)2 + (radius)2 (put the given values)
(ℓ)2 = (2.8)2 + (2.1)2
⇒ (ℓ)2 = 7.84 + 4.41
⇒ (ℓ)2 = 12.25
⇒ ℓ = √(12.25)
∴ ℓ = 3.5 m
Now, C.S.A of cone = π × 2.1 × 3.5 (putting the values in eqn2)
⇒ C.S.A of cone = 7.35π m2→eqn3
C.S.A of cylinder = 2 × π × 2.1 × 4 (putting the values in eqn1)
⇒ C.S.A of cylinder = 2 × π × 4.41 × 4
∴ C.S.A of cylinder = 16.8π m2→eqn4
Outer surface area of building = eqn3 + eqn4
⇒ Outer surface area = 7.35π + 16.8π
= 24.15π
∴ Outer surface area =75.9 m2
The outer surface area of building is 75.9 m2.

⇒ V1 = π × 441 × 28
∴ V1 = 12348π m3→eqn1
Let the Radius of resulting sphere be ‘R’ cm
Volume of the sphere=
Now equate equation 1 and 2,
⇒ V2 = V1
⇒ R3 = 3087 × 3
⇒ R3 = 9261
⇒ R =∛(9261)
∴ R = 21 cm
Diameter of Sphere = 2 × radius
⇒ Diameter of Sphere = 2 × R = 42 m
Diameter of the resulting Sphere is 42 m
A toy is in the form of a cone of radius 3.5 cm mounted on a hemisphere of same radius. The total height of the toy is 15.5 cm. Find the total surface area of the toy.
Explanation: The total surface area of the toy can be calculated by taking the sum of the Curved surface area of cone and that of hemisphere of same radius.
Given total height of toy = H = 15.5 cm
Radius of hemisphere = Radius of cone = r = 3.5 cm
Now the height of cone = h = total height – radius of hemisphere
⇒ Height of cone = h = 15.5 – 3.5
∴ Height of cone = h = 12 cm
Let the slant height of the cone be ‘ℓ’ cm
Also we know that in a cone,
(Slant height)2 = (Height)2 + (Radius)2
⇒ ℓ2 = 122 + 3.52 (putting the values)
⇒ ℓ2 = 144 + 12.25
⇒ ℓ2 = 156.25
⇒ ℓ = √(156.25)
∴ ℓ = 12.5 cm
C.S.A of cone = πrℓ
⇒ C.S.A of cone = π × 3.5 × 12.5 (putting the given values)
∴ C.S.A of cone = 43.75π m2 →eqn1
C.S.A of hemisphere = 2πr2
⇒ C.S.A of hemisphere = 2 × π × 3.52
= 2 × π × 12.25
= 24.5π m2 →eqn2
Now total surface area of toy = eqn1 + eqn2
⇒ Total surface area of toy = 43.75π + 24.5π
= 68.25π
⇒The total surface area of toy (putting π= 22/7)
= 9.75 × 22
= 214.5 m2
The total surface area of the toy is 214.5 m2.
If the radii of the circular ends of a bucket 28 cm high, are 28 cm and 7 cm, find its capacity and total surface area.
Explanation: Here the bucket is in the shape of a frustum. So capacity of bucket will be equal to the volume of the frustum and in order to calculate the total surface area of the bucket we will subtract the top end circular area from the total surface area of the frustum as the bucket is open on top.
Upper end radius of frustum/bucket = R = 28 cm
Lower end radius of frustum/bucket =r = 7 cm
Height of the frustum/bucket = 28 cm
And we know,
The capacity of bucket = Volume of the bucket
And, Volume of bucket = Volume of Frustum
∴ Capacity of bucket = Volume of frustum
⇒Volume of frustum
Where R = Radius of larger or upper end and r = Radius of smaller or lower end and h = height of frustum π = 22/7
⇒Volume of frustum
= 22 × 4 × 343
∴ Volume of frustum = 30184 cm3
∴ Capacity of bucket = 30184 cm3
T.S.A of bucket = T.S.A of frustum – Area of upper circle →eqn1
Let the slant height of the frustum be ‘ℓ’ cm
So, ℓ2 = h2 + (R – r)2
⇒ ℓ2 = 282 + (28 – 7)2
⇒ ℓ2 = 784 + (21)2
⇒ ℓ2 = 784 + 441
⇒ ℓ2 = 1225
⇒ ℓ = √(1225)
∴ ℓ = 35 cm
⇒ T.S.A of frustum = π(R + r)ℓ + πR2 + πr2
= π(28 + 7) × 35 + π(28)2 + π(7)2
= 35 × 35π + 784π + 49π
= 1225π + 784π + 49π →eqn2
Area of upper circle = πR2
= π(28)2
= 784π →eqn3
T.S.A of bucket = 1225π + 784π + 49π – 784π (from eqn2 and 3)
⇒ T.S.A of bucket = 1274π
⇒T.S.A of bucket=
⇒ T.S.A of bucket = 182 × 22
∴ T.S.A of bucket = 4004 cm2
The capacity and total surface area of the bucket is 30184 cm3 and 4004 cm2.
A bucket is in the form of a frustum of a cone with a capacity of 12308.8 cm3 of water. The radii of the top and bottom circular ends are 20 cm and 12 cm respectively. Find the height of the bucket. (Use π = 3.14.)
Upper end radius of frustum/bucket = R = 20 cm
Lower end radius of frustum/bucket =r = 12 cm
Height of the frustum/bucket be ‘h’ cm
And we know,
The capacity of bucket = Volume of the bucket
And, Volume of bucket = Volume of Frustum
Volume of frustum/bucket = V = 12308.8 cm3
∴ Capacity of bucket = Volume of frustum
⇒Volume of frustum
Where R = Radius of larger or upper end and r = Radius of smaller or lower end and h = height of frustum π = 3.14
(putting the values)
⇒ 3.14 × h × (144 + 400 + 240) = 12308.8 × 3
⇒ 3.14 × h × 784 = 36926.4
⇒ 2461.76 × h = 36926.4
⇒ h = 36926.4/2461.76
∴ h = 15 cm
The height of the bucket is 15 cm.
A milk container is made of metal sheet in the shape of frustum of a cone whose volume is . The radii of its lower and upper circular ends are 8 cm and 20 cm respectively. Find the cost of metal sheet used in making the container at the rate of Rs 1.40 per cm2.
Upper end radius of container = R = 20 cm
Lower end radius of container =r = 8 cm
Height of the container be ‘h’ cm
As container is in shape of frustum
Volume of container = Volume of Frustum
Where R = Radius of larger or upper end and r = Radius of smaller or lower end and h = height of frustum π = 22/7
(putting the values)
⇒ 22 × h × 208 = 73216
⇒ 4576 × h = 73216
⇒ h = 73216/4576
∴ h = 16 cm
Let the slant height of the frustum be ‘ℓ’ cm
So, ℓ2 = h2 + (R – r)2
⇒ ℓ2 = 162 + (20 – 8)2
⇒ ℓ2 = 256 + (12)2
⇒ ℓ2 = 256 + 144
⇒ ℓ2 = 400
⇒ ℓ = √(400)
∴ ℓ = 20 cm
Now the Area of sheet used in making the container can be calculated by simply subtracting the area of the upper circular end from the T.S.A of frustum
⇒ T.S.A of frustum = π(R + r)ℓ + πR2 + πr2
= π(20 + 8) × 20 + π(20)2 + π(8)2
= 28 × 20π + 400π + 64π
= 560π + 464π
= 1024π →eqn1
Area of upper circular end = πR2
= π(20)2
= 400π →eqn2
T.S.A of container = 1024π – 400π (from eqn2 and 1)
⇒ T.S.A of container = 624π
⇒ Cost of metal sheet used = T.S.A of container × Rate per cm2
⇒ Cost of mtal sheet used
= 13728 × 0.2
= Rs. 2745.6
The cost of the metal sheet used is Rs. 2745.6

Volumes of ‘m’ number of cones = volume of sphere
⇒ m = 224 × 3
∴ m = 672
The number of cones formed out of the sphere is 672

Given internal diameter of cylinder = D = 10 cm
Internal radius of cylinder = R = D/2 = 10/2
Internal radius of cylinder = R = 5 cm
Height of cylinder = H = 10.5 cm
Diameter of solid cone = d = 7 cm
Radius of solid cone = r = d/2 = 7/2
Radius of solid cone = r = 3.5 cm
Height of cone = h = 6 cm
(i)Volume displaced out of cylinder
By Archimedes principle we can easily say that,
Volume displaced out of cylinder = Volume of the solid cone
⇒ V = 22 × 1.75 × 2
∴ V = 77 cm3
The volume displaced out of cylinder is 77 cm3.

Find the number of solid sphere, each of diameter 6 cm, that could be moulded to
Form a solid metallic cylinder of height 45 cm and diameter 4 cm.
Given: Diameter of each solid sphere = 6 cm
∴ Radius of each sphere = 6/2 = rs = 3 cm
Diameter of cylinder = 4 cm
∴ Radius of cylinder = 4/2 = rc = 2 cm
Height of cylinder = h = 45 cm
Formula: volume of sphere = (4/3) × π × rs3
Volume of cylinder = π × rc2 × h
Spheres are moulded to form cylinder which means the volume remains the same
Let ‘n’ be the number of spheres required
i.e. volume of n spheres = volume of cylinder
∴ n × (4/3) × π × 33 = π × 22 × 45

Two right circular cylinder of equal volume have their height in the ratio 1:2. What is the ratio of their radii?
Let the two cylinders be with volume V1 and V2 with their respective radii and height as r1, r2 and h1, h2
Now given ratio of their heights i.e. h1:h2 = 1:2
∴ h1/h2 = 1/2
Volume of cylinder = πr2h
Given that volumes of both cylinder are equal i.e. V1 = V2
∴ π × r12 × h1 = π × r22 × h2
h1/h2 = r22/ r12
r22/ r12 = 1/2
r2/r1 = 1/√2
r1/r2 = √2/1
Therefore the ratio of their radii is r1:r2 = √2:1
A circus tent is cylindrical to a height of 4 m and conical above it. If its diameter is 105 m and its slant height is 40 m, find the total area of the canvas required.
Given: diameter of base of cone and the cylinder = 105 m
∴ Radius of cylinder = rcl = 105/2 = 51 m
Radius of cone = rco = 105/2 = 51 m
Height of cylinder = h = 4 m
Slant height of cone = l = 40 m
Formula: Surface area of cylinder = 2πrclh + 2πrcl2
Surface area of cone = πrco2 + πrcol
Since we don’t require canvas for the top surface and bottom surface of cylinder and also for the base of cone we should subtract those areas from the surface area
Area of upper and lower surfaces of cylinder = 2πrcl2
∴ Area of canvas required for cylinder = 2πrclh + 2πrcl2 - 2πrcl2
= 2πrclh
= 2 × 3.14 × 51 × 4
= 1281.12 m2
Area of base of cone = πrco2
∴ area of canvas required for cone = πrco2 + πrcol - πrco2
= πrcol
= 3.14 × 51 × 40
= 6405.6 m2
Total area of canvas required = Area of canvas required for cylinder + area of canvas
required for cone
= 1281.12 + 6405.6
= 7686.72 m2
∴ Total area of canvas required = 7686.72 m2
The radii of the top and bottom of a bucket of slant height 45 cm are 28 cm and 7 cm respectively. Find the curved surface area of the bucket.
Given: slant height of bucket = l = 45 cm
Radius of bottom circle = r = 7 cm
Radius of top circle = R = 28 cm
As the bucket is in the form of frustum
Formula: Total surface area of frustum = πr2 + πR2 + π(R + r)l cm2
Now we have asked curved surface area, so we should subtract the top and bottom surface
areas which are flat circles.
Surface area of top = πr2
Surface area of bottom = πR2
∴ Curved surface area = total surface area – πr2 - πR2 cm2
= πr2 + πR2 + π(R + r)l – πr2 - πR2 cm2
= π(R + r)l cm2
= 3.14 × (28 + 7) × 45 cm2
= 3.14 × 35 × 45 cm2
= 4945.5 cm2
Therefore, curved surface area of bucket = 4945.5 cm2
A solid metal cone with radius of base 12 cm and height 24 cm is melted to form solid spherical balls of diameter 6 cm each. Find the number of balls formed.
Given: base radius of cone = rc = 12 cm
Height of cone = h = 24 cm
Diameter of spherical ball = 6 cm
Radius of spherical ball = rs = 6/2 = 3 cm
Formula: volume of cone = (1/3)πrc2h
Volume of sphere = (4/3)πrs3
Let n be the number of spherical balls made
As the cone is melted and then the spherical balls are made therefore the volume remains same
i.e. volume of n spherical balls made = volume of cone
∴ n × (4/3) × π × rs3 = (1/3) × π × rc2 × h
n × 4 × 33 = 122 × 24
n × 9 = 12 × 24
n = 32
∴ Number of balls formed = 32
A hemisphere bowl of internal diameter 30 cm is full of a liquid. This liquid is filled into cylindrical - shapes bottles each of diameter 5 cm and height 6 cm. How many bottles are required?
Given: diameter of hemisphere = 30 cm
∴ Radius of hemisphere = rh = 30/2 = 15cm
Diameter of cylindrical shaped bottles = 5 cm
∴ radius of cylindrical shaped bottles = 5/2 = rc = 2.5 cm
Height of cylindrical shaped bottle = h = 6 cm
Formula: volume of hemisphere = (volume of sphere/2) = (2/3)πrh3
Volume of cylinder = πrc2h
Let ‘n’ bottles are required
As we are filling the cylindrical bottles with liquid in hemispherical bowl hence we can say that
volume of liquid in cylindrical bottles = volume of liquid in hemisphere
∴ n × π × rc2 × h = (2/3) × π × rh3
n × 2.52 × 6 × 3 = 2 × 153
n × 6.25 × 9 = 3375
n = 3375/56.25
n = 60
Therefore 60 cylindrical shaped bottles are required to fill the liquid from hemispherical bowl.
A solid metallic sphere of diameter 21 cm is melted and recast into small cones, each of diameter 3.5 cm and height 3 cm. Find the number of cones so formed.
Given: diameter of sphere = 21 cm
∴ radius of sphere = rs = (21/2) cm
Diameter of cone = 3.5 cm
∴ radius of cone = rc = 3.5/2 = 1.75 = (7/4) cm
Height of cone = h = 3 cm
Formula: volume of sphere = (4/3)πrs3
Volume of cone = (1/3)πrc2h
Sphere is melted and then cones are made from molten metal therefore the volume remains same
Let ‘n’ be the number of cones made
i.e. volume of n cones = volume of sphere
∴ n × (1/3) × π × rc2 × h = (4/3) × π × rs3
Therefore number of cones formed = 504
The diameter of a sphere is 42 cm. It is melted and drawn into a cylindrical wire of diameter 2.8 cm. Find the length of the wire.
Given: diameter of sphere = 42 cm
∴ radius of sphere = 42/2 = rs = 21 cm
Diameter of cylindrical wire = 2.8 cm
∴ Radius of cylindrical wire = rc = 1.4 = (7/5)cm
Let l be the length of wire
Formula: volume of sphere = (4/3)πrs3
Volume of wire = πrc2l
Sphere is melted and wire is made from it
∴ volume of sphere = volume of wire
(4/3)πrs3 = πrc2l
4 × 213 = 3 × (7/5)2 × l
4 × 21 × 9 × 25 = 3 × l
2100 × 3 = l
l = 6300 cm
Therefore length of wire formed = 6300 cm = 63 meters
A drinking glass is in the shape of frustum of a cone of height 21 cm with 6 cm and 4 cm as the diameters of its two circular ends. Find the capacity of the glass.
Given: Height of glass = h = 21 cm
Diameter of lower circular end of glass = 4 cm
Diameter of upper circular end of glass = 6 cm
∴ Radius of lower circular end = r = 4/2 = 2 cm
∴ Radius of upper circular end = R = 6/2 = 3 cm
Capacity of glass = volume of frustum
= 22 × (9 + 4 + 6)
= 22 × 19
= 418 cm3
∴ Capacity of glass = 418 cm3
Two cubes, each of volume 64 cm3, are joined end to end. Find the total surface area of the resulting cuboid.
volume of each cube = 64 cm3
Let a be the side length of each cube
∴ a3 = 64
a = 4 cm
The figure shows both the cubes joined together after joining we get a cuboid of length 2a and breadth a and height a
Length of cuboid formed = l = 2a
l = 8 cm
Breadth of cuboid formed = b = 4 cm
Height of cuboid formed = h = 4 cm
In the cuboid so formed there are 4 rectangular surfaces of length l = 8 and breadth b = 4 and 2 square surfaces of length 4
Total surface area of cuboid = 4 × l × b + 2a2
= (4 × 8 × 4) + (2 × 42)
= 128 + 32
= 160 cm2
Total surface area of cuboid = 160 cm2
The radius of the base and the height of a solid right circular cylinder are in the ratio 2:3 and its volume is 1617 cm3. Find the total surface area of the cylinder. [Take π = 22/7.]
Given: volume of cylinder = 1617 cm3
Let r be the radius of base and h be the height of cone
r:h = 2:3
∴ r/h = 2/3
3r = 2h
h = 3r/2 …(i)
Formula: volume of cylinder = πr2h
∴ 1617 = (22/7) r2h
r2h = 514.5
Using (i) we have
∴ r2 × (3r/2) = 514.5
3r3 = 1029
r3 = 343
r = 7 cm
h = 21/2 cm
Total surface area of cylinder = 2πr2 + 2πrh
= 2 × (22/7) × 72 + 2 × (22/7) × 7 × (21/2)
= 308 + 462
= 770 cm2
Therefore total surface area of cylinder = 770 cm2
A toy is in the form of a cone mounted on a hemisphere on a hemisphere of common base radius 7 cm. The total height of the toy is 31 cm. find the total surface area of the toy.
Given: Height of toy = h = 31 cm
Radius of hemisphere = radius of base of cone = r = 7 cm
From the figure we can calculate height of cone as
Height of cone = hc = h - r
= 31 - 7 = 24 cm
∴ hc = 24 cm
Formula: surface area of hemisphere = surface area of sphere/2 = 2πr2
Curved surface area of cone = πrl
Where l is slant height
l = √(49 + 576) = 25 cm
∴ l = 25 cm
Total surface area of toy = curved surface area of cone + surface area of hemisphere
Surface area of hemisphere = 2 × π × r2
= 2 × (22/7) × 72
= 308 cm2
Curved surface area of cone = π × r × l
= (22/7) × 7 × 25
= 550 cm2
∴ Total surface area of toy = 308 + 550
= 858 cm2
∴ Total surface area of toy = 858 cm2
A hemispherical bowl of internal radius 9 cm is full of water. This water is to be filled in cylindrical bottles of diameter 3 cm and height 4 cm. find the number of bottles needed to fill the whole water of the bowl.
Given: Radius of hemisphere = rh = 9 cm
Diameter of cylindrical shaped bottles = 3 cm
∴ radius of cylindrical shaped bottles = rc = 3/2 = 1.5 cm
Height of cylindrical shaped bottle = h = 4 cm
Formula: volume of hemisphere = (volume of sphere/2) = (2/3)πrh3
Volume of cylinder = πrc2h
Let ‘n’ bottles are required
As we are filling the cylindrical bottles with liquid in hemispherical bowl hence we can say that
volume of liquid in cylindrical bottles = volume of liquid in hemisphere
∴ n × π × rc2 × h = (2/3) × π × rh3
n × (3/2)2 × 4 × 3 = 2 × 93
n = 33 × 2
n = 27 × 2
n = 54
Therefore 54 cylindrical shaped bottles are required to fill the liquid from hemispherical bowl.
The surface areas of a sphere and a cube are equal. Find the ratio of their volumes. [Takes π = 22/7.]
Let r be the radius of sphere and a be the side length of cube.
Let Ss be the surface area of sphere and Sc be the surface area of cube and Vs be volume of sphere and Vc be volume of cube
∴ Ss = 4πr2 and Sc = 4a2
Given that surface area of sphere and cube are equal
∴ Ss = Sc
4πr2 = 6a2
r2/ a2 = 3/2π
Vs = (4/3) πr3
Vc = a3
∴ Vs/Vc = 4πr3/3a3
Using (i)
∴ Vs/Vc = √21/√11
Therefore ratio of their volumes is Vs:Vc = √21:√11
The slant height of the frustum of a cone is 4 cm and the perimeters (i.e. , circumferences) of its circular ends are 18 cm and 6 cm. Find the curved surface area of the frustum.
Given: perimeter of upper circle = 18 cm
Perimeter of lower circle = 6 cm
Slant height of frustum = l = 4 cm
Formula: Total surface area of frustum = πr2 + πR2 + π(R + r)l cm2
Let r be the radius of lower circle and R be the radius of upper circle
Now perimeter of circle = circumference of circle = 2π × radius
∴ Perimeter of upper circle = 2πR
18 = 2 × π × R
R = 9/π cm
Perimeter of lower circle = 2πr
6 = 2 × π × r
r = 3/π cm
Now we have asked curved surface area, so we should subtract the top and bottom surface areas which are flat circles.
Surface area of top = πR2
Surface area of bottom = πr2
∴ Curved surface area = total surface area - πr2 - πR2 cm2
= πr2 + πR2 + π(R + r)l - πr2 - πR2 cm2
= π(R + r)l cm2
= π × [(9/π) + (3/π)] × 4 cm2
= (9 + 3) × 4 cm2
= 48 cm2
∴ curved surface area = 48 cm2
A solid is composed of a cylinder with hemisphere ends. If the whole length of the solid is 104 cm and the radius of each hemispherical end is 7 cm, find the surface area of the solid.
Total length of solid = l = 104 cm as shown in figure
The solid consist of a cylinder and two hemispheres
Let the height of cylinder be h
We get the height h by subtracting the radii of left and right hemisphere from the total length l as seen in figure
∴ h = 104 - (7 + 7) cm
∴ h = 90 cm
Let r be the radius of hemisphere and the radius of cylinder
∴ r = 7 cm
There are two hemisphere one at left and one at right both of same radius r and two hemispheres make one sphere
Surface area of sphere = 4πr2
The flat circles i.e. the upper and lower circles of cylinder are not to be considered in the surface area of whole solid as they are covered by the hemispheres therefore for cylinder we will take its curved surface area
Curved surface area of cylinder = 2πrh
Surface area of solid = surface area of sphere + curved surface area of cylinder
= 4πr2 + 2πrh
= 2 × (22/7) × 7 × (2 × 7 + 90)
= 44 × 104
= 4576 cm2
Therefore total surface area of solid = 4576 cm2
From a solid cylinder whose height is 15 cm and diameter 16 cm, a conical cavity of the same height and same diameter is hollowed out. Find the total surface area of the remaining solid. [Use π = 3.14.]
after removing the conical solid the cylinder would look like this
Given: height of cylinder = height of cone = h = 15 cm
Diameter of cylinder = diameter of base cone = 16 cm
∴ radius of cylinder = radius of base of cone = 16/2 = r = 8 cm
Formula: total surface area of cylinder = 2πr2 + πrh
Total surface area of cone = πrl + πr2
Where l is the slant height
l = √(r2 + h2)
l = √(82 + 152)
l = √289
l = 17 cm
In the solid as seen in figure we have the curved surface of cylinder and the base of cylinder as there is no top circular face of the cylinder we should subtract its area from total surface area of cylinder
Area of top circular surface of cylinder = πr2
∴ surface area of cylinder in solid = 2πr2 + πrh - πr2
= πr2 + πrh
= 3.14 × 8 × (8 + 15)
= 3.14 × 8 × 23
= 577.76 cm2
Now there is a hollow conical part with no base of the cone as seen in the figure therefore we should subtract the surface area of base of cone from the total surface area of cone
Surface area of base of cone = πr2
∴ Surface area of conical part in solid = πrl + πr2 - πr2
= πrl
= 3.14 × 8 × 17
= 427.04 cm2
Therefore total surface area of solid = surface area of cylinder in solid + surface area of
conical part in solid
= 577.76 + 427.04
= 1004.8 cm2
Surface area of solid = 1004.8 cm2
A solid rectangular block of dimension 4.4 m, 2.6 m, 1 m is cast into a hollow cylindrical pipe of internal radius 30 cm and thickness 5 cm. Find the length of the pipe.
Given: length of the block = l = 4.4 m
Width of the block = w = 2.6 m
Height of the block = h = 1 m
Inner radius of pipe = r = 30 cm = 0.3 m
Thickness of pipe = t = 5 cm = 0.05 m
∴ outer radius of pipe as seen in the cross section of pipe = R = r + t = 30 + 5 = 35 cm = 0.35 m
Let l be the length of the pipe
Formula: volume of block = l × w × h
= 4.4 × 2.6 × 1
= 11.44 m3
Volume of block = 11.44 m3
Volume of pipe = π × (radius)2 × (length)
Volume of pipe material = volume of full pipe(R = 0.35) – volume of hollow cylinder(r = 0.3)
= π × 0.352 × l - π × 0.32 × l
= π × l × [(35/100)2 - (3/10)2]
= π × l × [(35/100) + (3/10)] × [(35/100) - (3/10)]
= (22/7) × l × (13/400) m3
∴ volume of pipe material = (22/7) × l × (13/400) m3
The pipe is made from the block
∴ volume of block = volume of pipe material
∴ 11.44 = (22/7) × l × (13/400)
∴ l = 28 × 4
∴ l = 112 m
Length of the pipe = 112 m
An open metal bucket is in the shape of a frustum of a cone, mounted on a hollow cylindrical base made of the same metallic sheet. The diameter of the two circular ends of the bucket are 45 cm and 25 cm, the total vertical height of the bucket is 40 cm and that of the cylindrical base is 6 cm. Find the area of the metallic sheet used to make the bucket. Also, find the volume of water the bucket can hold, in litres.
Given: radius of upper circular end of frustum = R = 45 cm
Radius of lower circular end of frustum = radius of cylindrical base = r = 25 cm
Height of bucket = hb = 40 cm
Height of cylindrical base = hc = 6 cm
From the figure height of frustum = hf = hb - hc
= 40 - 6
∴ hf = 34 cm
Volume of cylinder = πr2hc
Curved surface area of cylinder = 2πrhc
curved surface area of frustum = π(R + r)l cm2
Where l = slant height
= √(400 + 1156)
= 39.44 cm
Area of metallic sheet used = curved surface area of frustum + curved surface area of base
cylinder + area of base circle of cylinder
now, curved surface area of frustum = π × (R + r) × l cm2
= (22/7) × (45 + 25) × 39.44 cm2
= 22 × 10 × 39.44 cm2
= 8676.8 cm2
Curved surface area of base cylinder = 2πrhc
= 2 × (22/7) × 25 × 6
= 942.85 cm2
Surface area of base circle of cylinder = πr2
= (22/7) × 252
= 1964.28 cm2
∴ Area of metallic sheet used = 8676.8 + 942.85 + 1964.28
= 11583.93 cm2
Therefore, area of metallic sheet used to make the bucket is 11583.93 cm2 i.e. 1.158393 m2
Volume of water bucket can hold = volume of bas cylinder + volume of frustum
Volume of base cylinder = πr2hc
= (22/7) × 252 × 6
= 11785.71 cm3
= 35.62 × 3775
= 134465.5 cm3
∴ volume of water bucket can hold = 11785.71 + 134465.5
= 146251.21 cm3
Now 1 litre is 1000 cm3
∴ 146251.21 cm3 = 146251.21/1000 = 146.25121 litres
Volume of water bucket can hold = 146.25121 litres
A farmer connect a pipe of internal diameter 20 cm from a canal into a cylindrical tank which is 10 m diameter and 2 m deep. If the water flows through the pipe at the of 4 km/hr, in how much time will the tank be filled completely?
Given: diameter of pipe = 20 cm
∴ radius of pipe = rp = 20/2 = 10 cm = 0.1 m
Diameter of tank = 10 m
∴ radius of cylindrical tank = rc = 10/2 = 5 m
Depth of cylindrical tank = height of cylindrical tank = h = 2 m
Rate of flow of water through pipe = 4 km/hr
1 km = 1000 m
4 km/hr = 4000 m/hr
Volume of water required to completely fill the tank is equal to the volume of cylinder
Time require to fill the tank = volume of cylindrical tank/volume of water flown through pipe per hr
volume of cylindrical tank = π × rc2 × h
= 3.14 × 25 × 2
= 157 m3
volume of water flown through pipe per hr = π × rp2 × 4000
= 3.14 × 0.12 × 4000
= 3.14 × 40
= 125.6 m3/hr
Time require to fill the tank = 157/125.6
= 1.25 hrs
Therefore, it will take 1.25 hours to fill the tank completely.
