A toy is made in the form of hemisphere surmounted by a right cone whose circular base is joined with the plane surface of the hemisphere. The radius of the base of the cone is 7 cm. and its volume is
of the hemisphere. Calculate the height of the cone and the surface area of the toy correct to 2 places of decimal

Given that, The radius of the base(r) of the cone is 7 cm and its volume is
of the hemisphere.
∵ circular base of cone is joined with the plane surface of the hemisphere,
⇒ radius of hemisphere = radius of base of cone = 7 cm
Also,vol. of cone =
vol. of hemisphere
![]()
⇒ h = 3r
⇒h = 3 × 7
⇒h = 21 cm
Also, slant height(l) = √ r2 + h2
⇒ l = √ 72 + 212
⇒ l = √ 490
⇒ l = 22.13
⇒ Slant Height of cone (l) = 22.13 cm
Now, surface area of toy = surface area of cone + surface area of hemisphere
⇒ surface area of toy = πrl + 2πr2
= πr(l + 2r)
