Mensuration Exercise15.4 – Solutions

  1. Find the surface area of a sphere of radius 14 cm.

Solution:

Surface area of the sphere = 4πr2

= 4 x 22/7 x 142

= 2464 cm2

 

  1. Find the TSA of a hemisphere of radius 5 cm.

Solution:

TSA of hemisphere = 3πr2

= 3 x 22/7 x 52

= 235.71 cm2

 

  1. A hemisphere bowl made of wood has inner diameter of 10.5 cm. Find the cost of painting it on the inside at the rate of Rs. 12 per 100 cm2.

Solution:

diameter of the hemisphere = 10.5 cm

radius of the hemisphere = 5.25 cm

CSA of hemisphere = 2πr2

= 2 x 22/7 x 5.252

= 173.25 cm2

The cost of painting it on the inside at the rate of Rs. 12 per 100 cm2. Then the cost of painting the 173.25cm2 = 173.25×12/100 = Rs. 20.79

 

  1. Calculate the surface area of the largest sphere that can be cut out of a cube of side 15 cm.

Solution:

d = 15 cm

r = d/2 = 15/2 = 7.5 cm

Surface area of the sphere = 4πr2

= 4 x 22/7 x 7.52

= 707.14 cm2

 

  1. Find the volume of the sphere whose radius is 7 cm.

Solution:

Volume of the sphere = 4/3 πr3

= 4/3 x 22/7 x 73

= 1437.33 cm3

 

  1. Find the volume of a sphere whose surface area is 154 cm2.

Solution:

We know, surface area of the sphere = 4πr2

154 = 4πr2

154/4π = r2

r2 = 12.54

r = 3.5 cm

Volume of the sphere = 4/3 πr3

= 4/3 x 22/7 x 3.53

= 179.67 cm3

 

  1. The volume of a solid hemisphere is 1152πcm3. Find its curved surface area.

Solution:

Volume of the hemisphere = 2/3 πr3

1152π = 2/3 πr3

1152π x 3/2π = r3

1728 = r3

r = 12 cm

CSA of hemisphere = 2πr2

= 2 x 22/7 x (12)2

=  905.14 cm2

 

  1. A capsule of medicine is in the shape of a sphere of diameter 3.5 mm. How much medicine is needed to fill this capsule?

Solution:

d = 3.5 mm

r = d/2­ = 3.5/2 = 1.75 mm

Volume of the sphere = 4/3πr3

= 4/3 x 22/7 x (1.75)3

= 25.45 mm3

Therefore, 25.25mm3 medicine is needed to fill the capsule.

 

  1. A right circular cone of height 20 cm and base radius 5 cm is melted and recast into a sphere. Find the radius of the sphere.

Solution:

h = 20 cm

r = 5 cm

Volume of the sphere = Volume of the cone

4/3 πrs3 = 1/3 πrc2hc

4/3 πrs3 = 1/3 π x 52 x 20

4rs3 = 52 x 20

rs3 = 25×20/4 = 125

= 5 cm

 

  1. The diameter of a metallic sphere is 18 cm. It is melted and drawn into a wire having diameter of cross section 0.4 cm. Find the length of the wire.

Solution:

d = 18 cm

r = 9 cm

Volume of sphere = Volume of wire

4/3πrs3 = πrw2hw

4/3rs3 = rw2hw

4/3 x 93 = 0.22hw

hw = (4/3 x 93)/0.22

hw = 24300 cm

The length of the wire = 243 m
