A toy is in the form of a cone surmounted on a hemisphere. The cone and hemisphere have the same radii. The height of the conical part of the toy is equal to the diameter of its base. If the radius of the conical part is 5 cm, find the volume of the toy. (Take $\pi=\dfrac{22}{7}$)
✅ Answer & Solution
Step 1: Radius of the cone $=$ radius of the hemisphere $=r=5$ cm.
Step 2: Height of the cone $=$ diameter of its base, so
$$h=2r=2\times 5=10\text{ cm}$$
Step 3: Volume of the cone
$$V_{1}=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2}h=\frac{1}{3}\pi(5)^{2}(10)=\frac{250\pi}{3}\text{ cm}^{3}$$
Step 4: Volume of the hemisphere
$$V_{2}=\frac{2}{3}\pi r^{3}=\frac{2}{3}\pi(5)^{3}=\frac{250\pi}{3}\text{ cm}^{3}$$
Step 5: Total volume of the toy
$$V=V_{1}+V_{2}=\frac{250\pi}{3}+\frac{250\pi}{3}=\frac{500\pi}{3}\text{ cm}^{3}$$
Step 6: Substitute $\pi=\dfrac{22}{7}$.
$$V=\frac{500}{3}\times\frac{22}{7}=\frac{11000}{21}=523.81\text{ cm}^{3}$$
Hence the volume of the toy is approximately $523.81$ cm$^{3}$ (i.e. $\dfrac{11000}{21}$ cm$^{3}$).
