CHAPTER 12

SURFACE AREA AND VOLUME

Vol. and surface area of a solid hemisphere are numerically equal. What is diameter of hemisphere?

Vol. of hemisphere = S. A. of solid hemisphere 2,

⇒ 2/3πr2 = 3πr2
⇒ r = 9/2
∴ diameter = 2r = 9 units

If the ratio of volume of two spheres is 1 : 8, then find the ratio of their surface area.

A solid sphere of radius r is melted and recast into the shape of a solid cone of height r. Find the radius of the
base of the cone.

According to question,
Vol. of sphere = Vol. of cone
⇒ 4/3πr3 = 1/3πR2h
⇒ 4/3πr3 = π × [R2×r] / 3
⇒ R2 = 4r2
∴ R = 2r
The diameter of sphere is 6 cm. It is melted and drawn into a wire of radius 1 mm. Find the length of wire.

Volume of sphere = Volume of wire

4/3πr3 = πr2l
1/2π × 30 × 30 × 30 = π × 1 × 1 × l
36000 mm = l
Radius of sphere (R) = 3 cm = 30 mm l = 3600 cm
Radius of wire (r) = 1 mm

A metallic spherical shell of internal and external diameters 4 cm and 8 cm respectively is melted and recast
into the form of a cone of base diameter 8 cm. Find height of the cone.

Internal radius (r) = 4/2 = 2 cm ⇒ 4/3πR3 – 4/3πr3 = 1/3πr12h

External radius (R) = 8/2 = 4 cm ⇒ 4[R3 – r3] = r12h
Radius of cone (r1) = 8/2 = 4 cm ⇒ 4[43 – 23] = (4)2h
Height of cone = h ⇒ 4[64 – 8] = 16 h
Outer volume – Inner volume = Volume of cone ⇒ 4×56/16 = h
∴ h = 14 cm

If the area of the surface of sphere is 4π cm. Find the diameter of the sphere.

Surface area of sphere = 4π

4πr2 = 4π
r=1
∴ Diameter = 2r = 2 × 1 = 2 cm
Find the volume and surf ace area of the largest cube that can be carved out of solid wooden sphere of radius
6√3 cm.
Length of diagonal of cube (AF)
= 2r = 2 × 6√3 = 12√3
If edge of the cube is a cm,
then diagonal AF= √3a
⇒ √3a = 12√3 ⇒ a = 12
∴ Volume of required cube
For the largest cube (say ABCDEFGH) the = a3 = (12)3 = 1728 cm3
diagonal of the cube (AF) must be along the Surface area of cube = 6a2 = 6 × (12)2
diameter of the given sphere. = 864 cm2

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

Let edge of the each cube be ‘a’ cm. When two cubes are joined,
length of cuboid (1) = 2a = 2 × 8 = 16 cm
breadth (b) = a = 8 cm
height (h) = a = 8 cm
∴ Surface area of cuboid = 2 (lb + bh + Ih)
= 2 (16 × 8 + 8 × 8 + 16 × 8)
= 2 (128 + 64 + 128)
⇒ a3 = 64 = 2 × 320
⇒ a3 = (8)3 = 640 cm2
⇒ a = 8 cm

Find the length of the longest rod that can be kept in a room of dimensions 12 cm × 9 cm × 8 cm.

Clearly, the longest rod can be kept only along the diagonal of cuboidal room.
∴ Length of the longest rod = Diagonal of cuboid

Find the volume of the largest right circular cone that can be cut out of a cube whose edge is 8 cm.

For largest volume, the base of cone must be an inscribed circle in the face of the cube.
Diameter of base = Edge of cube = 8 cm
Radius (r) = 8/2 cm = 4 cm
and height of cone (h) = Edge of cone = 8 cm
Hence, volume of the largest cone = 1/3πr2h
= 1/3×22/7 × 4 × 4 × 8 = 2816/21 = 134.09 cm3

A rectangular sheet of paper is 22 cm long and 12 cm wide. A cylinder is formed by rolling the paper along its
length. Find the volume of cylinder.
As illustrated in figure length (22 cm) of paper will 2πr = 22
become circumference of the base of cylinder and ⇒ r = 1/π cm and h = 12 cm
breadth of paper will become height of cylinder. Thus, volume of cylinder = πr2h
= π(11/π)2 × 12 = [121×12]/π
= [121×7×12] / 22 = 462 cm3
A toy is in the form of a cone mounted on a hemisphere of common base of radius 7 cm. The total height of
the toy is 31 cm. Find the total surface area of the toy. [take π = 22/7]

Here, height of cone (h) Total surface area = Lateral surface area of
= Total height – Radius of hemisphere hemisphere + Lateral surface area of cone
= 31 – 7 = 24cm = 2π2 + πrl = πr (2r + l)
Radius (r) = 7 cm = 22/7 × 7 × (14 + 25)
l = √(r2+h2)=√(72+242) = 22 × 39 =858 cm2
= √ [49+576] = 25 cm

The decorative block shown in fig. is made of two solids-a cube and a hemisphere. The base of the block is a
cube with edge 5 cm and the hemisphere fixed on the-top has a diameter of 4.2 cm. Find the total surface area
of the block. [Take π = 22/7]
= 6(5)2 = 150 cm2
Radius of hemisphere (r) = 4.2/2 = 2.1 cm
Surface area of block = {Total surface area of cube +
Curved surface area of hemisphere} – base area of
hemisphere
= {150 + 2πr2} – πr2 = 150 + πr2
= 150 + 22/7 × 2.1 × 2.1
= 150 + 13.86 = 163.86 cm2
Edge of cube (a) = 5 cm
∴ Total surface area of cube = 6a2

A circus tent is cylindrical to a height of 3 m and conical above it. If its base radius is 52.5 m and slant height
of the conical portion is 53 m, find the area of the canvas needed to make the tent. [Use π = 22/7]

Here radius (r) = 52.5 m Area of canvas = Curved surface area of cylinder +
Height of cylinder (h) = 3 m Lateral surface area of cone
Slant height of cone (l) = 53 m = 2πrh + πrl = πr(2h + l)
= 22/7 × 52.5 (2 × 3 + 53)
= 22 × 7.5 × 59
= 9735 m2

A hemispherical tank full of water is emptied by a pipe at the rate of 3 litres per second. How much time
7
will it take to empty the tank?

Tank is in the form of hemisphere with Now, it is given that,

4
tank is emptied at 3 =25/7 litres per second 25
7
Time taken to empty 25/7 litres = 1 second
Time taken to empty 1 litre = 1 × 7/25 second
Diameter = 3 m Time taken to empty 99000/28 litres
So, radius r = 3/2 m = 7/25×99000/28
Volume of the tank = 2/3πr3 = 693000/700 = 990 sec
The 3/4 th part of a conical vessel of internal radius 5 cm and height 24 cm is full of water. The water is
emptied into a cylindrical vessel with internal radius 10 cm. Find the height of water in cylindrical vessel.

3/4 × Vol. of conical vessel = Vol. of cylindrical vessel

A metallic solid sphere of radius 10.5 cm is melted and recasted into smaller solid cones, each of radius 3.5 cm
and height 3 cm. How many cones will be made?

Let the number of cones be ‘n’

Volume of solid sphere = Volume of ‘n’ solid cones
⇒ 4/3 π × 10.5 × 10.5 × 10.5
= n × 1/3 × π × 3.5 × 3.5 × 3
⇒ n = [4×10.5×10.5×10.5 ] / [3.5×3.5×3]
∴ n = 126.

In figure, a tent is in the shape of a cylinder surmounted by a conical top of same diameter. If the height and
diameter of cylindrical part are 2.1 m and 3 m respectively and the slant height of conical part is 2.8 m, find
the cost of canvas needed to make the tent if the canvas is available at the rate of ₹ 500/sq. metre. (π = 22/7)
Area of canvas = 2πrh + πrl = πr (2h + l)
= 22/7×3/2(2 × 2.1 + 2.8)
= 22/7×3/2 × 7 = 33m2
Cost @ ₹ 500/m2 = 33 × 500 = ₹ 16500

How many coins 1.75 cm in diameter and of ) thickness 2 mm must be melted to form a cuboid of dimensions
11 cm × 10 cm × 7 cm?

Let the radius and thickness of each coin be r and h = (11 × 10 × 7) cm3.
respectively. ∴ Required no. of coins to be melted
Then, r = 1.75/2 cm
h = 2 mm = 2/10 cm = 0.2 cm
Vol. of each coin = πr2h
[22/7×1.75/2×1.75/2 x 0.2]cm3
For cuboid:
l = 11 cm, b = 10 cm and h = 7cm
∴ Volume of cuboid = l × b × h

The cost of painting the total outer surface of a closed cylindrical oil tank at 60 paise per sq. cm is ₹ 237.60.
The height of the tank is 6 times the radius of the base of the tank. Find height and radius of the tank.
Total cost of painting = ₹ 237.60 According to question,
Rate of painting ₹ 0.60 per cm2. ∵ 2πr (r + h) = 396 cm2
∴ Total surface area ⇒ 2 × 22/7 × r (r + 6r) = 396 cm2 [h = 6r]
2
= Total cost / Rate =237.60 / 0.60 = 396 cm ⇒ 2 × 22/7 × r × 7r = 396 cm2
⇒ 44r2 = 396 cm2
⇒ r2 = 396/44cm2 = 9 cm2
⇒ r = √9cm = 3cm
Hence, h = 6r = 6 × 3 = 18 cm
Height = 18 cm;
radius = 3 cm
A cone of maximum size is curved out from a cube of edge 14 cm. Find the surf ace area of the remaining
solid after the cone is curved out.

Radius of cone = edge of cube / 2=14/2 cm = 7 cm

Height of cone = edge of cube = 14 cm
∴ Using Pythagoras Theorem:
l = √[72+492] = √[49+196] = √245=7√5
Surface area of remaining solid
= S.A. of cube – S.A. of circular base of cone +
Lateral S.A. of cone
= 6a2 – πr2 + πrl
where a → edge of cube
r → radius & l → slant height of cone = 6 × 14 × 14 – 22/7 × 7 × 7 + 22/7 × 7 × 7√5
= 1176 – 154 + 154√3
= (1022 + 154√5) cm2

A conical vessel, with base radius 5 cm and height 24 cm, is full of water. This water is emptied into a
cylindrical vessel of base radius 10 cm. Find the height to which the water will rise in the cylindrical vessel.
[Use π = 22/7]

Vol. of water in conical vessel = Vol. of water in cylinder vessel

⇒ 1/3πr2h = πR2H
⇒ 1/3 × 5 × 5 × 24 = 10 × 10 × H
⇒ H = 2 cm
So water will rise by 2 cm in cylindrical vessel.

A sphere of diameter 12 cm is dropped in a right circular cylindrical vessel, partly filled with water. If the
sphere is completely submerged in water, the water level in the cylindrical vessel rises by 3 5 cm. Find the
9
diameter of the cylindrical vessel.
Vol. of sphere =Vol. of water raised in cylinder
⇒ 4/3π × 6 × 6 × 6 = π × r2 × 32/9
⇒ √[3×3×9] = r
⇒r=9
⇒ Diameter d = 2r = 2 × 9 = 18 cm

The sum of the radius of base and height of a solid right circular cylinder is 37 cm. If the total surface area of
the solid cylinder is 1628 sq. cm, find the volume of the cylinder. [Use π = 22/7]

Let the radius of base and height of the solid right (2×22) / 7 × r × 37 =1628
circular cylinder be r cm and h cm, respectively. ⇒ r = (44×7) / (2×22)
According to the question, Substituting the value of r in (1), we get
r + h = 37 …(1) 7 + h = 37
Total surface area = 1628 sq cm ⇒ h = 30 cm
2πr(r + h) = 1628 …(2) Now,
From (1) and (2), we get Volume of the cylinder = πr2h = 22/7 × 7 × 7 × 30
2πr(37) = 1628 Hence the volume of the cylinder is 4,620 cm3.

Let ‘t’ cm be thickness of wire into which rod is to be
drawn.
A metallic sphere of radius 4.2 cm is melted and recast into the shape of a cylinder of radius 6 cm. Find the
height of the cylinder.
Radius of sphere (r) = 4.2 cm ⇒ 4/ 3 × (4.2 × 4.2 × 4.2) = 6 × 6 × H
Radius of cylinder (R) = 6 cm ⇒ H = (4×1.4×4.2×4.2) / (6×6)
Let height of cylinder be H cm = 2.744 cm
Then, volume of sphere = volume of cylinder ∴ Height of cylinder is 2.744 cm.
⇒ 4/ 3πr3 = pr2H

height (H) of cylindrical tank = 5 m
Let h be height of standing water in park of (l)

Given OA = 5 cm Now, Area of ΔOAP
OP = 10 cm = 1/2 × AP × OA = 1/2 × 5√3 × 5 = 25√3/2cm2
We know that the tangent at any point of a circle is
perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact. Similarly, Area of ΔOBP = 25√3/2cm2
Therefore, ΔOAP is a right-angled triangle. ∴ Area of ΔOAP + Area of ΔOBP = 25√3 cm2
