Try yourself:A sphere is melted and recast into smaller right cones of height 7 centimeters and radius 7 centimeters. If the radius of the sphere is 7 meters, then how many cones can be made?
Explanation
Radius of the sphere, r = 7 meters
Radius of the cone, r2 = 7 centimeters = 0.07 meters
Height of the cone, h = 7 centimeters = 0.07 meters
Solving,
Number of cones = 4 × 106

Try yourself:Water flows at a rate of 10 m per minute from a cylindrical pipe, 5 mm in diameter. How long will it take to fill up a conical vessel whose diameter of the base is 40 cm and depth is 24 cm?
Explanation
Volume of the conical vessel = (1/3) × π × (20)2 × 24 = 3200π cm3
Volume flown in 1 minute = (π × (2.5/10)2 × 1000) = 62.5π cm3
Therefore, time taken = 3200π/62.5π = 51 min 12 sec

Try yourself:A building is in the form of a cuboid mounted by a semi-circular portion as shown. The inner measurements of the cuboid are 10 m × 7 m × 3 m and the radius of semi-circular portion is 3.5 m. Find the volume of the building.
Explanation
Radius of semi-circle = 3.5 m
Volume of the building = Volume of cubical portion + Volume of vertical cross-section

Try yourself:A toy is made in the form of a hemisphere surmounted by a right circular cone whose circular base coincides with the plane surface of the hemisphere. The base radius of the cone is 3.5 m and its volume is (2/3)rd of the volume of the hemisphere. Calculate its height.
Explanation
Radius of the hemisphere = Base radius of the cone = 3.5 m
Let the height of the cone be h metres.
⇒ h = 4.67 m

Try yourself:The inner circumference of a circular track is 440 cm. The track is 14 cm wide. Find the diameter of the outer circle of the track.
Explanation
Let inner radius = r; then 2π r = 440
∴ r = 70
Radius of outer circle = 70 + 14 = 84 cm ∴ Outer diameter = 2 × Radius = 2 × 84 = 168

Try yourself:The outer circumference of a circular track is 220 meter. The track is 7 meter wide everywhere. Calculate the cost of levelling the track at the rate of 50 paise per square meter.
Explanation
Let outer radius = R; then inner radius = r = R – 7
2πR = 220 ⇒ R = 35 m;
r = 35 – 7 = 28 m
Area of track = π R2 – πr2 ⇒ p(R2 – r2)
= 1386 m2

Try yourself:The length, breadth and height of a room are in the ratio of 3 : 2 : 1. If its volume be 1296 m3, find its breadth
Explanation
Let the common ratio be = x
Then; length = 3x, breadth = 2x and height = x
Then; as per question 3x · 2x · x = 1296 ⇒ 6x3 = 1296
⇒ x = 6 m
Breadth = 2x = 12 m

Try yourself:The whole surface of a rectangular block is 8788 square cm. If length, breadth and height are in the ratio of 4 : 3 : 2, find length.
Explanation
Let the common ratio be = x
Then, length = 4x, breadth = 3x and height = 2x
As per question;
2(4x · 3x + 3x · 2x + 2x · 4x) = 8788
2(12x2 + 6x2 + 8x2) = 8788 ⇒ 52x2 = 8788
⇒ x = 13 Length = 4x = 52 cm

Try yourself:Find curved and total surface area of a conical flask of radius 6 cm and height 8 cm.
Explanation
Slant length
Then curved surface area = πrl = π × 6 × 10⇒ 60p
And total surface area = πrl + πr2 ⇒ π ((6 × 10) + 62)
