How to calculate the total surface area of this shape?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you gotta give the shape....☺

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry I meant cylinder

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for the hemisphere 5 cm is the radius or diameter???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its not written as its radius because in my book the question is to find the total surface area of the combined shape

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok try this......

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for the cone surface area is \[\pi*r*l\] where r = 5 cm and l=12 cm and pi can be taken as 3.1416 or 22/7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for the cylinder surface area is \[2\pi*r*h\] where r = 5 cm and h = 10 cm and pi can be taken as 3.1416 or 22/7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for the hemisphere surface area is \[2\pi*r ^{2}\] where r = 5 cm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the sum of all three will give the total surface area of the given picture

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I have to calculate the curved surface area of each shape

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes because they are all joined together and in each case only the curved surface is exposed...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 660 cm squared but the answer in the book is 675 cm squared

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me check.....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think the diameter is 5. So the radius would be 2.5.. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It will be 330

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if we take radius as 2.5 the answer will be even smaller.....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I checked, the answer is 660 and not 675.....maybe there is a printing error in the book...☺

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think this question before and I think I got 675 not 660 but I don't remember

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I will ask my teacher about this one then I will tell u tommorrow , OK?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure....check with your teacher....but as per the given dimensions it gives answer as 660

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I asked my teacher and he got the answer 675. Hemisphere: \[2*3.14*5^{2} = 157 cm ^{2}\] Cylinder: \[2*3.14*5*10=314 cm\] Cone: \[3.14*5*13=204 cm\] Total surface area: 157+314+204= 375 cm squared

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For the cone you gave slant height as 12 and your teacher has used the value 13.......that is the reason for him getting this answer.............!!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

NOO The slant height was not given but it was the vertical height

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Excuse me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK but no vertical line or indication was given that it was vertical height. Since it was written next to the slanting side, I took it as slant height....☺

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry for not showing it was a vertical height

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem...☺......you got the right answer...that is important
