A decorative block as shown in the given figure is made of a cube and a hemisphere. The edge of the cube is 10cm, and the radius of the hemisphere attached on the top is 3.5. Find the cost of painting the block at the rate of 50 paise per sq.cm.


Given that side of a cube = 10cm
Total Surface Area of cube = 6(side)2
= 6 × 10 × 10
= 600cm2
Now, Radius of hemisphere = 3.5cm
Curved Surface Area of hemisphere = 2πr2![]()
= 77cm2
Base area of hemisphere = Area of circle = πr2
![]()
= 38.5cm2
Therefore,
Total Surface Area of block = Total Surface area of a cube + CSA of the hemisphere - Base area of a hemisphere
= 600 + 77 – 38.5
= 638.5cm2
Cost of painting the block of 1cm2 = Rs 0.50
Cost of painting the block of 638.5cm2 = Rs 0.50 × 638.5
= Rs 319.25
