    A top is of the shape of a cone over a hemisphere. The radius of the hemisphere is 3.5 cm. The total height of the top is 15.5 cm. Find the total area of the top.

    A)  \[\text{214}.\text{5}\,\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}\]    

    B)         \[\text{21}.\text{45}\,\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}\]

    C)  \[~\text{215}.\text{4}\,\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}\]    

    D)         \[\text{21}.\text{43}\,\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Height of cone\[~=\text{15}.\text{5}-\text{3}.\text{5}=\text{12 cm}\] \[l=\sqrt{{{h}^{2}}+{{r}^{2}}}\] \[=\sqrt{{{(3.5)}^{2}}+{{(12)}^{2}}}=12.5\,cm\] C.S.A. \[=\pi rl~=\text{137}.\text{5 sq cm}\] C.S.A. of hemisphere\[=2\pi {{r}^{2}}=\text{77 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}\] \[\therefore \]Total area of the top = 214.5 sq cm.
