A certain number of metallic cones, each of radius 2 cm and height 3 cm are melted and recast into a solid sphere of radius 6 cm. Find the number of cones.
Let the number of cones be n.
Let the radius of the sphere be rs = 6 cm
Radius of a cone be rc = 2 cm
And height of the cone be h = 3 cm
Volume of sphere = n ( Volume of a metallic cone )
Hence, the number of cones is 72.
In the given figure ABCD is a rectangle. It consists of a circle and two semi circles each of which are of radius 5 cm. Find the area of the shaded region. Give your answer correct to three significant figures.
Length of the rectangle = Radius of two semi-circles + Diameter of a circle
= 5 + 5 + 10
= 20 cm.
Breadth of rectangle = Diameter of a circle = 2 x 5 = 10 cm.
Area of a rectangle = Length x Breadth
= 20 x 10
= 200 sq. cm
Now,
Area of shaded region = Area of a rectangle - Area of a circle - Area of a two semi-circles
= 200 - 78.571 - 78. 571
= 200 - 157.142
= 42.858 sq. cm.
The following figure represents a solid consisting of a right circular cylinder with a hemisphere at one end and a cone at the other. Their common radius is 7 cm. The height of the cylinder and cone are each of 4 cm. Find the volume of the solid.
Volume of solid = Volume of cone + Volume of cylinder + Volume of hemisphere
A conical tent is to accommodate 77 persons. Each person must have 16 m3 of air to breathe. Given the radius of the tent as 7 m, find the height of the tent and also its curved surface area.
Let h be the height and r be the radius of the base of the conical tent.
Accordingto the given information,
Hence, the height of the tent is 24 m and the curved surface area of the tent is 550 m2.
