Example 2
The decorative block shown in figure 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)
Now,
Total surface area of block
= Total Surface area of cube
+ Curved Surface area of hemisphere
– Base area of hemisphere
Total Surface area of cube
Given that side of cube is 5 cm
Total Surface Area of the cube = 6 (side)2
= 6 (5)2
= 6 × 5 × 5
= 150 cm2
Curved surface area of hemisphere
Diameter of hemisphere = 4.2 cm
Radius = r = Diameter/2 = 4.2/2 = 2.1 cm
Curved surface area of hemisphere = 2𝜋𝑟2
= 2 × 22/7 × (2.1)2
= 2 × 22/7 × 2.1 × 2.1
= 27.72 cm2
Base area of hemisphere
Base of hemisphere is a circle with radius 2.1 cm
Base area of hemisphere = Area of circle
= 𝜋𝑟2
= 𝟐𝟐/𝟕×(𝟐.𝟏)𝟐
= 22/7×2.1×2.1
= 22×0.3×2.1
= 13.86 cm2
Therefore,
Total surface area of block
= Total Surface area of cube
+ Curved Surface area of hemisphere
– Base area of hemisphere
= 150 + 27.72 – 13.86
= 177.72 – 13.86
= 163.86 cm2
