Exercise 51 Page 739

Use formula for the volume of a sphere, and for the volume of a cylinder.

Volume: 143Ď€ cubic centimeters
Surface Area: 22Ď€ square centimeters

Practice makes perfect

Let's analyze the given figure.

The solid is a cylinder with a hemisphere cut out.

  • The cylinder has radius r= 42= 2, and the height h=2.5 cm.
  • The hemisphere has radius r= 2 cm.

    We are asked to find the volume and the surface area of the above solid. First, let's find the volume.

    Volume

    Let's use the formula for the volume of a sphere and for the volume of a cylinder.

    Solid Cylinder Hemisphere
    Radius r= 2 r= 2
    Height h= 2.5 -
    Volume V=Ď€ r^2 h V=1/2*4/3Ď€ r^3
    V_1=Ď€ ( 2)^2( 2.5)= 10Ď€ V_2=1/2*4/3Ď€ ( 2)^3= 16/3Ď€
    The volume of the cylinder is 10Ď€ cubic inches, and the volume of the hemisphere is 163Ď€ cubic inches. Now, let's find the difference of these volumes to get the volume of the given composite solid, V_\text{solid}.
    V_\text{solid}={\color{#FD9000}{V_1}}-\textcolor{darkviolet}{V_2}
    â–Ľ
    Substitute values and evaluate
    V_\text{solid}={\color{#FD9000}{10\pi}}-{\color{#A800DD}{\dfrac{16}{3}\pi}}
    V_\text{solid}=10\pi-\dfrac{16\pi}{3}
    V_\text{solid}=\dfrac{3\cdot 10\pi}{3}-\dfrac{16\pi}{3}
    V_\text{solid}=\dfrac{30\pi}{3}-\dfrac{16\pi}{3}
    V_\text{solid}=\dfrac{14\pi}{3}
    V_\text{solid}=\dfrac{14}{3}\pi
    Finally, we find that the volume of the composite solid is 143Ď€ cubic centimeters.

    Surface Area

    Now, we will find the surface area of the given composite solid. Notice that it's equal to the surface area of the hemisphere, the lateral area of the cylinder, and one base area of the cylinder. Let's use the formulas for the surface area of a sphere, and for the surface area of a cylinder.

    Surface Hempishere Lateral Area of Cylinder Base Area of Cylinder
    Radius r= 2 r= 2 r= 2
    Height h= 2.5 - -
    Area A=1/2* 4Ď€ r^2 A=2Ď€ r h A=Ď€ r^2
    A_1=1/2* 4Ď€ ( 2)^2= 8Ď€ A_2=2Ď€( 2)( 2.5)= 10Ď€ A_3=Ď€ ( 2)^2= 4Ď€
    Now, let's add the area to find the surface area of the composite solid, A_\text{solid}.
    A_\text{solid}={\color{#FF0000}{A_1}}+{\color{#FD9000}{A_2}}+{\color{#A800DD}{A_3}}
    A_\text{solid}={\color{#FF0000}{8\pi}}+{\color{#FD9000}{10\pi}}+{\color{#A800DD}{4\pi}}
    A_\text{solid}=22\pi
    Therefore, the surface area of the composite solid is 22Ď€ square centimeters.
