A cube of the maximum possible size is cut from a hemisphere of radiu...
Given:
The radius of the hemisphere = (3√3)/2 cm
Concept used:
Lateral Surface area = 2(l + b) × h
If we cut a maximum possible size of a cube from a hemisphere then its side = (√2/√3) × r
Here r = radius of the hemisphere,
l = length of the cuboid,
b = breadth of the cuboid
And h = height of the cuboid
Calculation:
According to the concept,
Side of the cube = (√2/√3) × (3√3)/2
⇒ Side of the cube = 3/√2
Now, one identical cubes are placed next to this cube
So, The length of the form cuboid = (3/√2) × 2
⇒ 3√2
The breadth of the cuboid = 3/√2
The height of the cuboid = 3/√2
Now,
L.S.A = 2 (3√2 + 3/√2) × 3/√2
⇒ L.S.A = 2 [(6 + 3)/√2] × 3/√2
⇒ L.S.A = 2 [9/√2] × 3/√2
⇒ L.S.A = 2 × 27/2 = 27 cm2
∴ The lateral surface area (in cm2 ) of the cuboid 27.
