A toy is in the form of a cone mounted on a hemisphere. The radius of the hemisphere and that of the cone is 36 cm and height of the cone is 105 cm. The total surface area (in cm2) of the toy is:

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 6588 π.

Radius of the hemisphere or cone (r) = 36 cm

Height of the cone (h) = 105 cm

Slant height of cone l = √(r2 + h2) = √(362 + 1052) = √(1296 + 11025) = √12321 = 111 cm

Curved surface area of the cone = πrl = π × 36 × 111 = 3996π cm2

Curved surface area of the hemisphere = 2πr2 = 2 × π × 362 = 2592π cm2

Total surface area of the toy = 3996π + 2592π = 6588π cm2

Therefore, the total surface area of the toy is 6588π cm2.
