Exercise 13.1

Unless stated otherwise, take π = 22/7.

1. 2 cubes each of volume 64 cm³ are joined end to end. Find the surface area of the resulting cuboid.

Answer

 Volume of each cube(a³) = 64 cm³
⇒ a³ = 64 cm³
⇒ a = 4 cm
Side of the cube = 4 cm
Length of the resulting cuboid = 4 cm
Breadth of the resulting cuboid = 4 cm
Height of the resulting cuboid = 8 cm
∴ Surface area of the cuboid = 2(lb + bh + lh)
= 2(8×4 + 4×4 + 4×8) cm²
= 2(32 + 16 + 32) cm²
= (2 × 80) cm² = 160 cm²

2. 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.

Answer

Diameter of the hemisphere = 14 cm
Radius of the hemisphere(r) = 7 cm
Height of the cylinder(h) = 13 – 7 = 6 cm
Also, radius of the hollow hemisphere = 7 cm
Inner surface area of the vessel = CSA of the cylindrical part + CSA of hemispherical part
= (2πrh+2πr²) cm²= 2πr(h+r) cm²
= 2 × 22/7 × 7 (6+7) cm²= 572 cm²

3. 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.

Answer

Radius of the cone and the hemisphere(r) = 3.5 = 7/2 cm
Total height of the toy = 15.5 cm
Height of the cone(h) = 15.5 – 3.5 = 12 cm

Curved Surface Area of cone = πrl = 22/7 × 7/2 × 25/2
= 275/2 cm²

Curved Surface Area of hemisphere = 2πr²
= 2 × 22/7 × (7/2)²
= 77 cm²

Total surface area of the toy = CSA of cone + CSA of hemisphere
= (275/2 + 77) cm²
= (275+154)/2 cm² 
= 429/2 cm² = 214.5cm²
The total surface area of the toy is 214.5cm²

4. A cubical block of side 7 cm is surmounted by a hemisphere. What is the greatest diameter the hemisphere can have? Find the surface area of the solid.

Answer

Each side of cube = 7 cm
∴ Radius of the hemisphere = 7/2 cm
Total surface area of solid = Surface area of cubical block + CSA of hemisphere – Area of base of hemisphere

TSA of solid = 6×(side)² + 2πr² -πr²
= 6×(side)² + πr²
= 6×(7)² + (22/7 × 7/2 × 7/2)

= (6×49) + (77/2)
= 294 + 38.5 = 332.5 cm²

The surface area of the solid is 332.5 cm²

5. A hemispherical depression is cut out from one face of a cubical wooden block such that the diameter l of the hemisphere is equal to the edge of the cube. Determine the surface area of the remaining solid.

Answer

Diameter of hemisphere = Edge of cube = l
Radius of hemisphere = l/2
Total surface area of solid = Surface area of cube + CSA of hemisphere – Area of base of hemisphere
TSA of remaining solid = 6 (edge)² + 2πr² – πr²
= 6l² + πr²
= 6l² + π(l/2)²
= 6l² + πl²/4
= l²/4(24 + π) sq units

6. A medicine capsule is in the shape of a cylinder with two hemispheres stuck to each of its ends. The length of the entire capsule is 14 mm and the diameter of the capsule is 5 mm. Find its surface area.

Answer

Two hemisphere and one cylinder are given in the figure. 

Diameter of the capsule = 5 mm

∴ Radius = 5/2 = 2.5 mm

Length of the capsule = 14 mm

∴ Length of the cylinder = 14 – (2.5 + 2.5) = 9mm

Surface area of a hemisphere = 2πr² = 2 × 22/7 × 2.5 × 2.5

= 275/7 mm² 

Surface area of the cylinder = 2πrh
= 2 × 22/7 × 2.5 x 9
= 22/7 × 45
990/7 mm²

∴ Required surface area of medicine capsule
= 2 × Surface area of hemisphere + Surface area of cylinder
= (2 × 275/7) × 990/7
= 550/7 + 990/7
= 1540/7 = 220 mm²

7. A tent is in the shape of a cylinder surmounted by a conical top. If the height and diameter of the cylindrical part are 2.1 m and 4 m respectively, and the slant height of the top is 2.8 m, find the area of the canvas used for making the tent. Also, find the cost of the canvas of the tent at the rate of Rs 500 per m². (Note that the base of the tent will not be covered with canvas.)

Answer

Tent is combination of cylinder and cone.

Diameter = 4 m
Slant height of the cone (l) = 2.8 m
Radius of the cone (r) = Radius of cylinder = 4/2 = 2 m
Height of the cylinder (h) = 2.1 m

∴ Required surface area of tent = Surface area of cone+Surface area of cylinder
= πrl + 2πrh
= πr(l+2h)
= 22/7 × 2 (2.8 + 2×2.1)
= 44/7 (2.8 + 4.2)
= 44/7 × 7 = 44 m²

Cost of the canvas of the tent at the rate of ₹500 per m²
= Surface area × cost per m²
= 44 × 500 = ₹22000

8. From a solid cylinder whose height is 2.4 cm and diameter 1.4 cm, a conical cavity of the same height and same diameter is hollowed out. Find the total surface area of the remaining solid to the nearest cm².

Answer

Diameter of cylinder = diameter of conical cavity = 1.4 cm

∴ Radius of cylinder = Radius of conical cavity = 1.4/2 = 0.7

Height of cylinder = Height of conical cavity = 2.4 cm

TSA of remaining solid = Surface area of conical cavity+TSA of cylinder

= πrl + (2πrh + πr²)

= πr (l + 2h + r)

= 22/7 × 0.7 (2.5 + 4.8 + 0.7)

= 2.2 × 8 = 17.6 cm²

1. A copper wire, 3 mm in diameter, is wound about a cylinder whose length is 12 cm and diameter 10 cm, so as to cover the curved surface of the cylinder. Find the length and mass of the wire, assuming the density of copper to be 8.88 g per cm³.

Answer

Since, the diameter of the wire is 3 mm.

When a wire is one round wound about a cylinder, it covers a 3 mm of length of the cylinder.

Given, length of the cylinder = 12 cm = 120 mm

∴ Number of rounds to cover 120 mm = 120/3 = 40

Given, diameter of a cylinder is d = 10 cm

∴ Radius, r = 10/2 = 5 cm

∴ Length of wire required to complete one round = 2πr = 2π(5) = 10π cm

∴ Length of the wire in covering the whole surface

= Length of the wire in completing 40 rounds

= 10π × 40 = 400π cm

= 400 × 3.14 = 1256 cm

Now, radius of copper wire = 3/2 mm = 3/20 cm

Answer

Given, internally dimensions of cistern = 150 cm×120 cm×110 cm

∴ Volume of cistern = 150×120×110 

= 1980000 cm³

Volume of water = 129600 cm³

∴ Volume of cistern to be filled = 1980000 – 129600 = 1850400 cm³

Let required number of bricks = n
