Surface Area and Volume of a Sphere, Hemisphere and Composite Shape

Content

A solid in geometry is a shape with length, width, and height. It is not a flat shape. Some of the common solids are cuboid, cube, cylinder, cone, square based pyramids, sphere etc.

Below are sketches of common solids listed above.

Evaluation

  1. Calculate the total surface area of a solid hemisphere of radius 7.7cm. (Take π = 22/7)
  2. Calculate the volume and surface area of a hemisphere of diameter 9cm.

General Evaluation

  1. A hemisphere bowl has an external radius 0f 18cm and is made of wood 3cm thick. Calculate the volume of wood in the bowl.
  2. A measuring cylinder of radius 3cm contains water to a  height  of  49cm.If  this  water  is poured into similar cylinder of radius 7cm, what will be the height of the water column
  3. From a cylindrical object of diameter 70cm and height 84cm, a right solid cone having its base as one of the circular ends of the cylinder and height 84cm is removed. Calculate
    1. the volume of the remaining solid object expressing your answer in the form of a x 10n
    1. the surface area of the remaining solid object.
