A question, start to finish
A long question is easier in steps. Solve it one step at a time.
Step 1 of 7
- Read the question first — what job, what units.
- Split the object into its two solids.
- Find what the question never gave you.
- Pick only the faces that job buys.
- Compute the answer once, from the picked faces.
- Answer with the units the question asked for.
- A wrong shortcut: using the height as the slant.
The steps
"A toy is a cone on a hemisphere of radius 21. It is 49 tall. Paint costs 50 paise per square unit. Find the cost in rupees."
100 paise make ₹1. So 50 paise is ₹0.50.
- Read. Painting covers the outside. We need an area first.
- Split. A cone sits on a hemisphere. Both have radius 21.
- Missing. The cone is 49 − 21 = 28 tall. Then l² = 21² + 28² = 1225, so l = 35.
- Pick. Count the cone skin and the dome skin. Cone skin = 22/7 × 21 × 35 = 2310. Dome skin = 2 × 22/7 × 21 × 21 = 2772.
- Compute. 2310 + 2772 = 5082. Then 5082 × 0.50 = 2541.
- Answer. The cost is ₹2541.
Read the job. Split the object into solids. Find the missing length. Pick the faces the job counts. Compute once, then answer in the asked unit.
