Exercise (13.4)

1. Find the surface area of a sphere of radius:

i. $\text{10}\text{.5 cm}$

Ans:

Given radius of the sphere $\text{r = 10}\text{.5 cm}$

The surface area of the sphere $\text{A = 4 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }{{\text{r}}^{\text{2}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{A = }\left[ \text{4  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }\frac{\text{22}}{\text{7}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }{{\left( \text{10}\text{.5} \right)}^{\text{2}}} \right]\text{ c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{A = }\left( \text{88  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  1}\text{.5  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  10}\text{.5} \right)\text{ c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{A = 1386 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$

Hence, the surface area of the sphere is $\text{1386 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$.

ii. $\text{5}\text{.6 cm}$

Ans:

Given radius of the sphere $\text{r = 5}\text{.6 cm}$

The surface area of the sphere $\text{A = 4 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }{{\text{r}}^{\text{2}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{A = }\left[ \text{4  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }\frac{\text{22}}{\text{7}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }{{\left( \text{5}\text{.6} \right)}^{\text{2}}} \right]\text{ c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{A = }\left( \text{88  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  0}\text{.8  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  5}\text{.6} \right)\text{ c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{A = 394}\text{.24 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$

Hence, the surface area of the sphere is $\text{394}\text{.24 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$.

iii. $\text{14 cm}$ $\left[ \text{Assume  }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{  = }\frac{\text{22}}{\text{7}} \right]$

Ans:

Given radius of the sphere $\text{r = 14 cm}$

The surface area of the sphere $\text{A = 4 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }{{\text{r}}^{\text{2}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{A = }\left[ \text{4  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }\frac{\text{22}}{\text{7}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }{{\left( \text{14} \right)}^{\text{2}}} \right]\text{ c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{A = }\left( \text{4  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  44  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  14} \right)\text{ c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{A = 2464 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$

Hence, the surface area of the sphere is $\text{2464 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$.

2. Find the surface area of a sphere of diameter:

i. $\text{14 cm}$

Ans:

Given diameter of the sphere $\text{= 14 cm}$

So, the radius of the sphere $\text{r = }\frac{\text{14}}{\text{2}}\text{ = 7 cm}$

The surface area of the sphere $\text{A = 4 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }{{\text{r}}^{\text{2}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{A = }\left[ \text{4  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }\frac{\text{22}}{\text{7}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }{{\left( \text{7} \right)}^{\text{2}}} \right]\text{ c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{A = }\left( \text{88  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  7} \right)\text{ c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{A = 616 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$

Hence, the surface area of the sphere is $\text{616 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$.

ii. $\text{21 cm}$

Ans:

Given diameter of the sphere $\text{= 21 cm}$

So, the radius of the sphere $\text{r = }\frac{\text{21}}{\text{2}}\text{ = 10}\text{.5 cm}$

The surface area of the sphere $\text{A = 4 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }{{\text{r}}^{\text{2}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{A = }\left[ \text{4  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }\frac{\text{22}}{\text{7}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }{{\left( \text{10}\text{.5} \right)}^{\text{2}}} \right]\text{ c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{A = 1386 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$

Hence, the surface area of the sphere is $\text{1386 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$.

iii. $\text{3}\text{.5 m}$ $\left[ \text{Assume  }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{  = }\frac{\text{22}}{\text{7}} \right]$

Ans:

Given diameter of the sphere $\text{= 3}\text{.5 m}$

So, the radius of the sphere $\text{r = }\frac{\text{3}\text{.5}}{\text{2}}\text{ = 1}\text{.75 m}$

The surface area of the sphere $\text{A = 4 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }{{\text{r}}^{\text{2}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{A = }\left[ \text{4  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }\frac{\text{22}}{\text{7}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }{{\left( \text{1}\text{.75} \right)}^{\text{2}}} \right]\text{ }{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{A = 38}\text{.5 }{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$

Hence, the surface area of the sphere is $\text{38}\text{.5 }{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$.

3. Find the total surface area of a hemisphere of radius $\text{10 cm}$. $\left[ \text{Use  }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{  = 3}\text{.14} \right]$

Ans:

Given the radius of hemisphere $\text{r = 10 cm}$

The total surface area of the hemisphere is the sum of its curved surface area and the circular base.

Total surface area of hemisphere $\text{A = 2 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }{{\text{r}}^{\text{2}}}\text{ +  }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }{{\text{r}}^{\text{2}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{A = 3 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }{{\text{r}}^{\text{2}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{A = }\left[ \text{3  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  3}\text{.14  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }{{\left( \text{10} \right)}^{\text{2}}} \right]\text{ c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{A = 942 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$

Hence, the total surface area of the hemisphere is $\text{942 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$.

4. The radius of a spherical balloon increases from $\text{7 cm}$ to $\text{14 cm}$ as air is being pumped into it. Find the ratio of surface areas of the balloon in the two cases.

Ans:

Given the initial radius of the balloon ${{\text{r}}_{1}}\text{ = 7 cm}$

The final radius of the balloon ${{\text{r}}_{2}}\text{ = 14 cm}$

We have to find the ratio of surface areas of the balloon in the two cases.

The required ratio $\text{R = }\frac{\text{4 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }{{\text{r}}_{\text{1}}}^{\text{2}}}{\text{4 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }{{\text{r}}_{\text{2}}}^{\text{2}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{R = }{{\left( \frac{{{\text{r}}_{\text{1}}}}{{{\text{r}}_{\text{2}}}} \right)}^{\text{2}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{R = }{{\left( \frac{\text{7}}{\text{14}} \right)}^{\text{2}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{R = }\frac{\text{1}}{\text{4}}$

Hence, the ratio of the surface areas of the balloon in both case is $\text{1 : 4}$.

5. A hemispherical bowl made of brass has inner diameter $\text{10}\text{.5 cm}$. Find the cost of tin plating it on the inside at the rate of $\text{Rs}\text{. 16}$ per $\text{100 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$. $\left[ \text{Assume  }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{  = }\frac{\text{22}}{\text{7}} \right]$

Ans:

Given the radius of inner hemispherical bowl $\text{r = }\frac{\text{10}\text{.5}}{\text{2}}\text{ = 5}\text{.25 cm}$

The surface area of the hemispherical bowl $\text{A = 2 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }{{\text{r}}^{\text{2}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{A = }\left[ \text{2  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }\frac{\text{22}}{\text{7}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }{{\left( \text{5}\text{.25} \right)}^{\text{2}}} \right]\text{ c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{A = 173}\text{.25 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$

It is given that the cost of tin-plating $\text{100 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$ area $\text{= Rs}\text{. 16}$

So, the cost of tin-plating $173.25\text{ c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$ area $\text{= Rs}\text{. }\left( \frac{\text{16}}{\text{100}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  173}\text{.25} \right)\text{ = Rs}\text{. 27}\text{.72}$

Hence, the cost of tin-plating the hemispherical bowl is $\text{Rs}\text{. 27}\text{.72}$.

6. Find the radius of a sphere whose surface area is $\text{154 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$. $\left[ \text{Assume  }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{  = }\frac{\text{22}}{\text{7}} \right]$

Ans:

Let us assume the radius of the sphere be $\text{r}$.

We are given the surface area of the sphere, $\text{A = 154 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$.

$\therefore \text{4 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }{{\text{r}}^{\text{2}}}\text{ = 154 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$

$\Rightarrow r^{2}=\left(\frac{154 \times 7}{2 \times 22}\right) \mathrm{cm}^{2}$

$\Rightarrow \text{r = }\left( \frac{\text{7}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{ cm}$

$\Rightarrow \text{r = 3}\text{.5 cm}$

Therefore, the radius of the sphere is $\text{3}\text{.5 cm}$.

7. The diameter of the moon is approximately one-fourth of the diameter of the earth. Find the ratio of their surface area.

Ans:

Let us assume the diameter of earth is $\text{d}$.

So, the diameter of the moon will be $\frac{\text{d}}{\text{4}}$.

The radius of the earth ${{\text{r}}_{\text{1}}}\text{ = }\frac{\text{d}}{\text{2}}$

The radius of the moon ${{\text{r}}_{\text{2}}}\text{ = }\frac{\text{1}}{\text{2}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }\frac{\text{d}}{\text{2}}\text{ = }\frac{\text{d}}{\text{8}}$

The ratio of surface area of moon and earth $\text{R = }\frac{\text{4 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }{{\text{r}}_{\text{2}}}^{\text{2}}}{\text{4 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }{{\text{r}}_{\text{1}}}^{\text{2}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{R = }\frac{\text{4 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }{{\left( \frac{\text{d}}{\text{8}} \right)}^{\text{2}}}}{\text{4 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }{{\left( \frac{\text{d}}{\text{2}} \right)}^{\text{2}}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{R = }\frac{\text{4}}{\text{64}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{R = }\frac{\text{1}}{\text{16}}$

Therefore, the ratio of surface area of the moon and earth is $\text{1 : 16}$.

8. A hemispherical bowl is made of steel, $\text{0}\text{.25 cm}$ thick. The inner radius of the bowl is $\text{5 cm}$. Find the outer curved surface area of the bowl. $\left[ \text{Assume  }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{  = }\frac{\text{22}}{\text{7}} \right]$

Ans:

Given the inner radius $\text{= 5 cm}$

The thickness of the bowl $\text{= 0}\text{.25 cm}$

So, the outer radius of the hemispherical bowl is $\text{r = }\left( \text{5 + 0}\text{.25} \right)\text{ cm = 5}\text{.25 cm}$

The outer curved surface area of the hemispherical bowl $\text{A = 2 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }{{\text{r}}^{\text{2}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{A =}\left[ \text{ 2  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }\frac{\text{2}}{\text{7}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }{{\left( \text{5}\text{.25} \right)}^{\text{2}}} \right]\text{ c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{A = 173}\text{.25 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$

Therefore, the outer curved surface area of the hemispherical bowl is $\text{173}\text{.25 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$.

Ans:

(Image Will Be Updated Soon)

Given the radius of cylinder $\text{= r}$

The height of cylinder $\text{= r + r = 2r}$

The curved surface area of cylinder $\text{A = 2 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ rh}$

$\Rightarrow \text{A = 2 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ r }\left( \text{2r} \right)$

$\Rightarrow \text{A = 4 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }{{\text{r}}^{\text{2}}}$

Therefore the curved surface area of the cylinder is  $\text{4 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }{{\text{r}}^{\text{2}}}$.

iii. ratio of the areas obtained in i. and ii.

The ratio of surface area of the sphere and curved surface area of cylinder  $\text{R = }\frac{\text{4 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }{{\text{r}}^{\text{2}}}}{\text{4 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }{{\text{r}}^{\text{2}}}}$

$\text{R = }\frac{\text{1}}{\text{1}}$

Therefore, the required ratio is $\text{1 : 1}$.
