🔷 Formulas:



#### 🟨 Sphere:
- Volume: $ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 $
- Surface Area: $ A = 4\pi r^2 $

#### 🟦 Cone:
- Volume: $ V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h $
- Curved Surface Area (CSA): $ A = \pi r l $, where $ l = \sqrt{r^2 + h^2} $
- Total Surface Area (TSA): $ A = \pi r l + \pi r^2 $

---

We'll go through each question.

1) Sphere with radius = 2 cm



- Volume:
$$
V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 = \frac{4}{3} \pi (2)^3 = \frac{4}{3} \pi (8) = \frac{32}{3} \pi \approx 33.51 \text{ cm}^3
$$

- Surface Area:
$$
A = 4\pi r^2 = 4\pi (2)^2 = 4\pi (4) = 16\pi \approx 50.27 \text{ cm}^2
$$

Answer:
- Volume = 33.51 cm³
- Surface Area = 50.27 cm²

---

2) Sphere with diameter = 14 mm → radius = 7 mm



- Volume:
$$
V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 = \frac{4}{3} \pi (7)^3 = \frac{4}{3} \pi (343) = \frac{1372}{3} \pi \approx 1436.76 \text{ mm}^3
$$

- Surface Area:
$$
A = 4\pi r^2 = 4\pi (7)^2 = 4\pi (49) = 196\pi \approx 615.75 \text{ mm}^2
$$

Answer:
- Volume = 1436.76 mm³
- Surface Area = 615.75 mm²

---

3) Sphere with volume = 180 cm³ → find radius



Use:
$$
V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 = 180
$$
Solve for $ r $:

$$
r^3 = \frac{180 \times 3}{4\pi} = \frac{540}{4\pi} = \frac{135}{\pi}
$$
$$
r = \sqrt[3]{\frac{135}{\pi}} \approx \sqrt[3]{42.97} \approx 3.50 \text{ cm}
$$

Answer:
- Radius ≈ 3.50 cm

---

4) Sphere with surface area = 25 mm² → find radius



Use:
$$
A = 4\pi r^2 = 25
$$
$$
r^2 = \frac{25}{4\pi} \approx \frac{25}{12.566} \approx 1.989
$$
$$
r = \sqrt{1.989} \approx 1.41 \text{ mm}
$$

Answer:
- Radius ≈ 1.41 mm

5) Cone: r = 5 cm, h = 12 cm, slant height l = 13 cm



Given: $ r = 5 $, $ h = 12 $, $ l = 13 $

- Curved Surface Area (CSA):
$$
CSA = \pi r l = \pi \cdot 5 \cdot 13 = 65\pi \approx 204.20 \text{ cm}^2
$$

- Total Surface Area (TSA):
$$
TSA = \pi r l + \pi r^2 = 65\pi + \pi (25) = 90\pi \approx 282.74 \text{ cm}^2
$$

Answer:
- Curved surface area = 204.20 cm²
- Total surface area = 282.74 cm²

---

6) Cone: r = 7 cm, slant height l = 25 cm



We are not given height, but we can use $ l = 25 $, $ r = 7 $

- Volume: Need height $ h $. Use Pythagoras:
$$
h = \sqrt{l^2 - r^2} = \sqrt{25^2 - 7^2} = \sqrt{625 - 49} = \sqrt{576} = 24 \text{ cm}
$$

Now compute volume:
$$
V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h = \frac{1}{3} \pi (49)(24) = \frac{1}{3} \pi (1176) = 392\pi \approx 1231.51 \text{ cm}^3
$$

- Total Surface Area:
$$
TSA = \pi r l + \pi r^2 = \pi(7)(25) + \pi(49) = 175\pi + 49\pi = 224\pi \approx 703.72 \text{ cm}^2
$$

Answer:
- Volume = 1231.51 cm³
- Total surface area = 703.72 cm²

---

7) Cone: diameter = 14.4 cm → r = 7.2 cm, h = 9.6 cm



First find slant height $ l $:
$$
l = \sqrt{r^2 + h^2} = \sqrt{(7.2)^2 + (9.6)^2} = \sqrt{51.84 + 92.16} = \sqrt{144} = 12 \text{ cm}
$$

- Volume:
$$
V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h = \frac{1}{3} \pi (7.2)^2 (9.6) = \frac{1}{3} \pi (51.84)(9.6)
$$
$$
= \frac{1}{3} \pi (500.352) = 166.784\pi \approx 523.84 \text{ cm}^3
$$

- Total Surface Area:
$$
TSA = \pi r l + \pi r^2 = \pi(7.2)(12) + \pi(51.84) = 86.4\pi + 51.84\pi = 138.24\pi \approx 434.29 \text{ cm}^2
$$

Answer:
- Volume = 523.84 cm³
- Total surface area = 434.29 cm²

8) Composite shape: Cone + Hemisphere



- Cone: height = 23 cm, hemisphere radius = 15 cm
So cone base radius = 15 cm
Cone height = 23 cm
Hemisphere is attached to the base of the cone.

We need:
- Volume = Volume of cone + Volume of hemisphere
- Total surface area = CSA of cone + CSA of hemisphere (since base of hemisphere is glued to cone, no base area)

---

#### 🔹 Volume:

- Cone volume:
$$
V_{\text{cone}} = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h = \frac{1}{3} \pi (15)^2 (23) = \frac{1}{3} \pi (225)(23) = \frac{1}{3} \pi (5175) = 1725\pi
$$

- Hemisphere volume:
$$
V_{\text{hemi}} = \frac{2}{3} \pi r^3 = \frac{2}{3} \pi (3375) = 2250\pi
$$

- Total volume:
$$
V = 1725\pi + 2250\pi = 3975\pi \approx 12474.37 \text{ cm}^3
$$

---

#### 🔹 Total Surface Area:

- Curved surface area of cone:
First find slant height $ l $:
$$
l = \sqrt{r^2 + h^2} = \sqrt{15^2 + 23^2} = \sqrt{225 + 529} = \sqrt{754} \approx 27.46 \text{ cm}
$$
$$
CSA_{\text{cone}} = \pi r l = \pi (15)(27.46) \approx 411.9\pi \approx 1293.37 \text{ cm}^2
$$

- Curved surface area of hemisphere:
$$
CSA_{\text{hemi}} = 2\pi r^2 = 2\pi (225) = 450\pi \approx 1413.72 \text{ cm}^2
$$

- Total surface area (no base since they're joined):
$$
TSA = 1293.37 + 1413.72 = 2707.09 \text{ cm}^2
$$

Answer:
- Volume = 12474.37 cm³
- Total area = 2707.09 cm²
