The interior of a building is in the form of a cylinder of diameter 4.3 m and height 3.8 m surmounted by a cone whose vertical angle is a right angle. Find the area of the surface and the volume of the building. [Take π=3.14]

The diameter of a cylindrical portion BCDE of building = 4.3m
∴ The radius of a cylindrical portion![]()
Height = 3.8m
Lateral Surface Area of Cylindrical Portion BCDE = 2πrh
![]()
= 51.3543 m2
Let AB be the slant height of the conical portion of the building = l = AB = AC
Now, the Lateral surface of conical portion = πrl
![]()
= 20.5417 m2
So,
The total surface area of the building = Surface area of cylindrical portion + Surface area of the conical portion
= 51.3543 + 20.5417
= 71.8960
= 71.90 m2 (approx.)
Now, In right ΔBAC,
BC2 = AB2 + AC2
⇒ BC2 = l2 + l2
⇒ (4.3)2 = 2l2
⇒ 18.49 = 2l2
![]()
⇒ l2 = 9.245
⇒ l = 3.04 m
Here, r is the radius of the cone and l is the slant height of the cone
⇒ l2 = h2 + r2
⇒ 9.245 = h2 + (2.15)2
⇒ 9.245 = h2 + 4.6225
⇒ h2 = 9.245 – 4.6225
⇒ h2 = 4.6225
⇒ h = 2.15 m
Now, Volume of the conical portion ![]()
![]()
= 10.4116 m3
Volume of cylindrical portion BCDE = πr2h
![]()
= 55.2059 m3
So,
The total volume of the building = Volume of the cylindrical portion
+ Volume of the conical portion
= 55.2059 + 10.4116
= 65.6175 m3
= 65.62 m3 (approx.)
