A medicine capsule as shown in the given figure is in the shape of a cylinder with two hemispheres stuck to each of its ends. The length of the entire capsule is 12 mm, and the diameter of the capsule is 5 mm. Find its surface area.

Given:
Diameter of cylinder = 5mm
![]()
Height of cylinder = 12 – 5 = 7mm
Here, Diameter of hemisphere = 5mm
So,Radius of Hemisphere = ![]()
Total area of the capsule = CSA of cylinder + CSA of 2 hemispheres
= 2πrh + 2×2πr2
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
