Question -

A dome of a building is in the form of a hemi sphere. From inside, it waswhite-washed at the cost of Rs. 4989.60. If the cost of white-washing isRs20per square meter, find the

(i) inside surface area of the dome (ii) volume of the air inside thedome

(Assume π = 22/7)



Answer -

(i) Cost ofwhite-washing the dome from inside = Rs 4989.60

Cost of white-washing1m2 area = Rs 20

CSA of the inner sideof dome = 498.96/2 m2  = 249.48 m2

(ii) Let the innerradius of the hemispherical dome be r.

CSA of inner side ofdome = 249.48 m2 (from (i))

Formula to find CSA ofa hemi sphere = 2πr2

2πr2 =249.48

2×(22/7)×r=249.48

r=(249.48×7)/(2×22)

r=39.69

r = 6.3

So, radius is 6.3 m

Volume of air insidethe dome = Volume of hemispherical dome

Using formula, volumeof the hemisphere = 2/3 πr3

=(2/3)×(22/7)×6.3×6.3×6.3

= 523.908

= 523.9(approx.)

Volume of airinside the dome is 523.9 m3.
