Question

A solid is in the shape of a cone mounted on a hemisphere. The radius of each is 6 cm and the total height of the solid is 14 cm . Find the surface area of the solid.

A.

72π

B.

62π

C.

132π

D.

142π

Correct option is C

Given:
Radius (r) = 6 cm
Total height = 14 cm
Formula Used:
Total Surface Area = Curved Surface Area of cone + Curved Surface Area of hemisphere
TSA = πrl+2πr2\pi r l + 2 \pi r^2​​
Solution:
The height of the hemisphere is equal to its radius, so height of hemisphere = 6 cm.
Height of the cone (h) = Total height - radius = 14 - 6 = 8 cm.
Calculate the slant height (l) of the cone:
l=r2+h2=62+82l = \sqrt{r^2 + h^2} = \sqrt{6^2 + 8^2}​​
=36+64=100= \sqrt{36 + 64} = \sqrt{100}​ = 10 cm.
Surface area of the solid = πrl+2πr2\pi r l + 2\pi r^2​​
Surface area = (π×6×10)+(2×π×62)(\pi × 6 × 10) + (2 × \pi × 6^2)​​
=60π+72π=132πcm2 = 60\pi + 72\pi = 132\pi cm^2​​
Final Answer
So the correct answer is (c)
